Hey there, so I ran a heavily modded server for a few years, like 6 years ago or something. I haven't touched Minecraft since, but now I have some people wanting to play again, so I'm going to make a new modpack and server. I'm just wondering a few things, if the community wouldn't mind helping me get back into the mix?
1. What version is "the" version for modding now? I know there is forge for lots of version, but which one is the go-to, the one that all the modders are currently modding?
2. What are some big mods now, that are really well done or fun? Like IC2, TE, Tinkers, Twilight Forest, stuff like that, but what's come out in the past few years?
3. I know Pixelmon blew up, but I believe they basically did the same thing all over again, but changed their name? Haha. I see Pixelmon Generations, but I remember another one. Is Generations the Pokemon standard now? (Not sure if I'm even going to use this, but very curious, I still love Pokemon as an adult, haha). Does it have all the functionality of the old Pixelmon, like spawners to make exact pokemon in an area, and junk like that?
For a huge variety of mods Minecraft 1.12.2 is the best one - The Modpack MC Eternal is a good example
There are also mods in current versions - there you can take a look at Valhelsia 2 (1.15.2) and Valhelsia 3 (1.16.4)

Some well known mods from the past are still a big thing - in addition to your examples there are
Mekanism
Immersive Engineering
MrCrayfish mods
Botania
MineColonies
Industrial Foregoing
Simple Storage Network
Applied Energistics 2
