RamNificent's Helper Pack

This pack is a collection of useful, existing mod packs by various authors, to aid in the building process and placing blocks.

Journey Map 

JourneyMap is a client+server mod for Forge which maps your Minecraft world in real-time as you explore. You can view the map in a web browser or in-game as a Minimap or full-screen. 

Chunk Animator

When new chunks are loaded in vanilla minecraft they simply "appear instantly", with this mod they can be animated to either appear from below or above.

Crafting Tweaks 

• Rotate the outer circle of the crafting matrix (hotkey: R)
• Balance the materials in the crafting grid (hotkey: B)
• Clear the crafting grid into your inventory (hotkey: C)
• Transfer items into the grid by holding the W key while clicking them (Shift+W to transfer all of type)
• Instantly compress/decompress blocks into their block/ingot forms (hotkey: K)
• Right-clicking the result slot will attempt to craft a full stack

Inventory Tweaks

This client mod allows you to easily manage your inventory, in both single player and multiplayer. It works out of the box, and will make you gain a massive amount of time!

• It automatically replaces your tools as they break, and item stacks once emptied
• It sorts your inventory and your chests in a single click/keystroke
• It provides lots of powerful shortcuts to move items around
• It allows you to customize entirely the way your inventory is sorted, thanks to clever configuration files

Mouse Tweaks

Mouse Tweaks replaces the standard RMB dragging mechanic, adds two new LMB dragging mechanics and an ability to quickly move items with the scroll wheel. Everything can be enabled and disabled in the configuration file or in Forge's mod options menu.
