I have given up on finding a modpack that does this. I am tired of having to mine a ton every single time I want to play modded Minecraft at all. I don't find it fun. Since I cannot find a modpack that improves this, I want to find some mods to make it actually enjoyable. I would like to reduce or outright remove the tedium of mining constantly. Sure, something like mining gadgets makes it faster, but it does not in the slightest make it less tedious. I want to set up, say, a quarry or something that just automatically mines enough for me. Or maybe some way to make an automatic miner. You get the point. The version these mods are on doesn't matter. Could be in 1.7.10, 1.12.2. 1.16, whatever version.
edit: I found a combination of mods that fixes my issues, producing ore at such a high rate for cheap:

combine all these 3 mods and youll be producing stacks of ore, when i find a suitable ore processing mod god knows how much i could make beyond that
