Woo~ This thread is for discussing and asking for help with the plethora of Minecraft mods out there.
IMPACT!"What mods?" I hear you ask, well simply scroll down a bit

Forestry by SirSengir - A mod which adds a large amount of automated farming content, as well as a rather interesting bee breeding system and, more recently, mail and trade systems. It doesn't require Buildcraft to play, but the experience is better with Buildcraft installed. [1.4.7]
Thermal Expansion by KingLemmingCoFH - This mod adds several Buildcraft machines which, in the simplest sense, emulate Industrialcraft machines. It also features a very neat modular system for inputs and outputs. It also features methods of creating lava and water. As well as a self contained cobble/smoothstone/obsidian farm. [1.4.7]
Buildcraft Advanced Power Systems by dAkshEN3 and Cybrshdw - I haven't messed extensively with this mod, but it largely focuses on adding several new methods of generating power to Buildcraft. It also features methods of fabricating lava, and converting it into useful materials.

[1.4.7]
Immibis's mods by Immibis - Adds a variety of things related to other mods.
Thirst Mod by tarun1998 - This nifty little mod adds in a thirst system to Minecraft, as well as several new methods of obtaining drink. Any player can squat in a pool and take a drink, but those concerned for their health will find it much better to boil water first, or perhaps have a glass of tasty juice! [1.4.7]
Not Enough Items by Chickenbones - Adds in many, many useful, if somewhat cheaty, features. Allows item spawning, with a searchable list of items, allows you to change the time, weather and swap between creative and survival mode. Also has an incredibly useful recipe feature, which allows you to view the recipe of an item by pressing 'R' whilst hovering over it, or view all recipes the item is used in by pressing 'U' whilst hovering over the item.

Smart Moving by Divisor - This mod allows you to do all sorts of amazing movement stuff, climbing up ledges via gaps, swan diving,
actual swimming, really. Just watch the video. [1.4.7]

Stuff below this is probably out of dateThe MetamodsThese mods focus more on the metagame aspect, via adding custom recipes or making timelapses easier.
Multishot Timelapse Mod by Reschs - A mod which allows players to set up a camera to take screenshots over time, for the purposes of making timelapse videos [1.2.3]
Camera Studio by Sushen - A mod which allows you to take cinematic control of your world, useful for any aspiring filmmakers

Sphax Pure BD Craft by Sphax84 and it's
Addons - Adds a very nice comic book sort of feel to minecraft, the mod textures are 128 by default, so a decent graphics card is reccommended.
The Technic PackThe Technic pack is, as the name implies, a modpack. In actuality, it consists of 2 parts, Tekkit - The Multiplayer Pack and Technic- The Singleplayer. All mods are downloaded and installed automatically via a launcher, making the usage of the pack simplicity itself. Also I'm a member of the Technic Team, so there's that
