gollark: I mean, you could also say that a "tech mod" is... some mod providing automation tools and ways to make things or whatever, and a magic mod... isn't? But most magic mods do still have neat automation stuff.
gollark: I think the best way to judge if something is a tech mod is basically just the aesthetic, i.e. does it look like a "magic thing" or "tech thing".
