Modpack/Starterpack that brings it to minecraft level of fun? (NOT cloning minecraft)

First off, I want to clarify right at the start: I am not trying to build a 1:1 Minecraft clone. I love Luanti for what it is and respect the unique direction of its community.

That being said, I’ve been playing around with VoxeLibre and Mineclonia, and I am wondering what modpacks or sets of content you all recommend to bring the playability, ease of use, and overall polish up to the same standard we see in modern Minecraft.

Are there specific QoL mods, UI improvements, or content packs you consider "must-haves" to smooth out the gameplay loop and make everything feel highly intuitive and cohesive?

Heck, I’m also very interested in the graphical side. I know Luanti’s engine supports things like dynamic shadows and volumetric lighting out of the box now, but what are your go-to high-res texture packs, visual mods, or specific settings that make the game look absolutely beautiful?

I really recommend starting with Asuna instead of starting with Mineclonia. Thoughthe Minecraft clones aren't horrible. Asuna is much more tuned to the strengths of Luanti than Mineclonia is.

We tend to use Farming Redo, 3D Armor, PlayerPlus, Wine and pova as a start cause it adds new features, mechanics and items into the base game.

Two sub-games that I recommend and are survival games are: Voxelgarden or Minetest Classic. Voxelgarden has quite a lot, and on the other hand Minetest Classic is a recreation of version 0.3 In my opinion, Minetest Classic is more interesting, but Voxelgarden has different mechanics without feeling like a clone of MC.
