My personal modpack only has 16 mods installed, and 6 of them are dependencies that are required for other mods. I only use mods that use a progression system I like or improve the limits of what can be done in vanilla. I don't like mods that make the game easier or easier to automate. I prefer just a select few that give me more options of what I can use for combat/mining/transportation/decoration. Those and NEI, which is such a great mod that it should really be part of forge itself.
I'm also planning to have a personal modded instance for just running Pixelmon and Bibliocraft (NEI also if it becomes compatible in the 1.7 update)
As for my server, I'm planning to use 26 different mods once they update to 1.7, but I'm trying to see how people would react to not using some of them. More mods = more bugs and maintenance.

But for how common it is, it's totally useless. Oh sure, you can light it on fire, and make red things from it, but that's it.
1) Obviously make Nether Brick, using the same method as normal brick. Smelt it into Nether slabs at a 1:1 ratio, make Nether Bricks.
1a) Nether Brick Stairs, Nether Brick Fences, Nether Brick Furnace (Credit: scynscatha), Nether Brick Slab (Make red statues so much easier. No seriously.)
2) Here's the new thing: Bloodsteel! You're dying to know how to make it, so here's the run-down
2a) Smelt a block of Netherrack to create a Nether Slab
2a) Arrange 8 Nether Slabs in a circle, with a Blaze Powder in the center, to create Nether Essence, which is purified Netherrack
2b) Smelt the Nether Essence into Nethersteel, the first metal form of Netherrack.
2b) If you wish to continue on and create Bloodsteel, arrange 8 Nethersteel on a crafting table in the same circle, but use a Ghast Tear in the center. This will create Blood Essence, which is an even more pure form of Netherrack.
2c) Craft 4 Blood Essence into a square, and create a Blood Ingot, which is a solidified form of Blood Essence, and is essentially the almighty Bloodsteel!:
Tools made with Bloodsteel and Nethersteel are created the same as normal tools, but use Blaze Rods instead of sticks, because sticks would obviously be incinerated by the fiery powers of the Nether.
A simple version of the above steps would be this:
Netherrack to Nethersteel ratio -> 8:1 + 1 Blaze Powder
Netherrack to Bloodsteel ratio -> 256:1 + 8 Blaze Powder and 1 Ghast Tear
You may be wondering; why the long process? Well, if you notice, the Netherrack block is riddled with impurities, with trace amounts of a substance that is tough enough to be crafted (The bright red parts). Breaking down a fire-resistant material in a furnace is also going to take some time.
---------------------------Properties of Nethersteel and Bloodsteel--------------------------
Nethersteel is a purified form of Netherrack, tough enough to last a decent while, but not so good in the long run. Nethersteel armor provides 25% resistance to fire, and is equal to Iron. Will not burn in fire, but it will burn in lava.
Attack/Gathering Speed: Equal to Iron
Durability: Iron
Mining Capabilities (What can it mine?): Equal to Iron
Enchantments: Normal
Bloodsteel is the embodiment of the Nether. Light, durable, and possessing incredible tolerance to magic, it's best for nearly everything. Bloodstone armor provides total immunity to fire, but the immunity decreases as the durability decreases. Dropped form cannot be destroyed (Except by Void), but can be despawned.
Attack: Equal to Iron, will light mobs on fire
Gathering Speed: Equal to gold (Gold applicable only, otherwise Iron)
Durability: Higher than iron, less than Diamond
Mining Capabilities: Equal to Diamond
Enchantments: Special Enchant
Not what you were expecting, right? Well, read on, because Bloodstone has a very special attribute unlike any other.
------------------------------------Bloodstone Enchantments-----------------------------------
Yup, that's right. Bloodstone gets its very own enchantment; Netherflame. It is a level 50 enchant, so nothing to dismiss as small. Enchanted Bloodstone gets a reddish gleam that gives off light half that of a torch.
Netherflame Tool Enchant:
Attack: Equal to diamond, will light mobs on fire
*Nether exclusive: Right clicking will launch a Ghast Fireball, with the same speed and damage, but no explosive properties
Gathering Speed: Equal to Diamond + Gold (AKA fastest in the game)
Mining Capabilities: Diamond
Effect: The concentration of the Nether's power and evil attracts mobs to you, as long as you're wielding it
Netherflame Armor Enchant
Resistance: A single enchanted piece of armor provides total immunity to everything fire-related that does not decrease with durability.
*Nether Exclusive: Will deflect any ranged attacks at close range (3 blocks far)
Durability: Diamond
Effect: The armor is constantly on fire (Will not obstruct your view, unlike normal fire), providing a light level of 12 around you, and it'll set mobs on fire upon contact. If you touch water, the fire is extinguished until you leave the water.
