A had a lot of fun recently with Tekkit 2, but I think that was mostly nostalgia. I've also been playing quite a bit of AoF6 and the performance of Fabric has been absolutely stellar.
Looks beautiful! What shaders do you use?
I feel the same as /u/mentrix (is this how you mention someone on lemmy?). Villagers take a lot of work to get set up properly and are an optional task to do. If you put in the time and effort, you are well rewarded for it. I hate mining and grinding and much prefer to build and be creative. Villagers allow me this aspect of Minecraft.
I had a lot of fun with Tekkit 2 and this was my final base!
I built this a while ago but wanted to show it off here :)
Feel free to advertise over here as well :)
