Best utility mods for Minecraft in 2014

There are many occasions where I have been in Minecraft and wanted additional usability. For instance, I am one of those people that likes to explore the World of Minecraftia and ends up losing the location of their house. I am also one of those people that doesn't remeber all the crafting recipes for the incredibly large amounts of mods. Being that I frequently have a large amount of mods installed, I also sometimes can't tell what mod a block or item is from. Additionally, I am frequently trying to build really big structures in creative mode but I am not fond of placing each blog individually. I have rounded up a list of some of mods which I use to solve these issues. I don't have these mods listed in much of a particular order.
