Apparently, 1.9 will have more stuff than what I would've bargained for. That is, if the recent stuff like enchanting and dragons actually make it into the upcoming update.
Also, I gave IndustrialCraft2 a try yesterday. Takes some time and effort to install, since it needs six other mods to work properly. But then you can craft all sorts of automated machinery, generators of all kinds, powertools to help your mining and such. The whole thing is quite heavy on iron, but certain machines can duplicate the amount of ore you have, so it balances out after you get that piece of gear. Not a bad mod if you don't mind keeping a ton of recipes in mind and/or constantly tabbing out to the mod's wiki, and if you like the sounds of various factory machinery.
