Useless items are really annoying.

Why couldn't there be an option to disable useless items?

I made myself glass bottles because I ASSUMED you could put water in them and drink it, because that would make sense, but it turns out they are completely useless.

Why are there so many useless items in TFC? Because this is not the first time something like that happened to me, it's annoying.

Glass bottles are *not* useless - They are the only way you can drink alcohol as far as I am aware.

 

(but yes, useless items can sometimes be a pain - like a galena ore deposit masking other useful, ores.)

Though I have no idea what alcohol is good for right now, aside from making cheese and things like that, but thanks for the information.

Drinking alcohol is only interesting for potentially fun or useful side-effects.

"Useless items" are actually a easy way to create compatibility with other mods and for addon authors to insert new items and techs.

An easy example  is a mod that adds potions would use the glass bottles.

As for Galena, if you install the Decorations addon you can make Lanterns with it.

There are other addons and mods that can make use of those 'Useless items" as you say.

They also add realism to the mod, as not every single ore needs to have a purpose.

There are also many modpacks already using those "Useless Items", they would be broken without them.

In nature you can not use everything, too. In game relation I really enjoy those "useless" features, as they could rise difficulty (like the mentioned ore finding) and brings diversity without having too high complexity because of hundreds of things you could make but are not essentially needed (see plants from Plantmegapack, they are almost only for the look).
