Here are some of the best Minecraft mods, like RLCraft, Biomes O’Plenty, and Better Minecraft, to give you the impression that you’re playing a brand-new game.
The finest Minecraft mods go above and beyond to give this now 12-year-old game a different experience, even though each Minecraft game may be unique. There is undoubtedly a mod for you, whether you enjoy the game’s inventive architecture, harrowing survival, or speedrunning the plot. You have the choice to improve Mojang’s classic on PC even more, whether it is through interface adjustments or tools to speed up your hours of exploring.
The top Minecraft mods available right now are compiled in the list below. All are grouped into groups based on what you wish to change in the sandbox game, from straightforward adjustments to complicated, deep Minecraft modifications that you may lose yourself in for months.
Optifine / Fastcraft
The indispensable Optifine, which provides support for HD textures and more control over graphical settings, will make Minecraft look amazing. Before you can use Minecraft shaders, Optifine will probably need to be set up, but even without that, it offers dynamic lighting, enhanced textures, and performance improvements. On the majority of PC configurations, Optifine should work fine, but if you’re playing on a potato, use Fastcraft instead. It significantly enhances performance on low-end devices, especially when many Minecraft mods are installed.
Journeymap
Everyone enjoys knowing their destination. Journeymap can map your world as you explore, allow you mark important waypoints, and even alert you when hordes of people are following you secretly. View the final map as a minimap, fullscreen, or even in a separate web browser within the game.
Just Enough Items
Just Enough Items is the solution to the agony of having to alt-tab to a wiki while playing Minecraft (or JEI). Through a clever interface on the inventory screen of Minecraft, you can seek up the recipe for any item from any installed Minecraft mod.
Jade
When you also have a number of texture or world-altering mods loaded, Jade is a very useful mod for Minecraft. Jade gives you additional information, like as the contents of a chest or any status affects applied to a mob, in addition to identifying the object you are looking at.
Enchantment descriptions
The Enchantment Descriptions mod provides you with the description of any enchanted book in your inventory if you need a quick reminder of what the Minecraft enchantments perform. These tooltips will be shown in more than 13 different languages, and this mod also supports enchantments that have been modified.
Twilight Forest
The Twilight Forest, a brand-new dimension and new portal, are both added by this magnificent mod. After gathering the necessary resources to construct the portal above, you can entirely change your Minecraft experience by adding new dungeons, mythological creatures, and much more.
Biomes O’Plenty
If there aren’t enough biomes in the base version of Minecraft to keep you occupied, Biomes O’Plenty adds a ton more in the Overworld and the Nether, ranging from the Alps to the Wasteland and everything in between. Additionally, it adds a little more diversity to the food, color, tools, armor, and building blocks.
Alex’s mobs
Players are always calling for more animals, monsters, and humanoids to be introduced to vanilla Minecraft, as evidenced by the now-annual mob vote in the game. With the 84 new animals in Alex’s Mobs, you don’t need to wait for the upcoming significant update to Minecraft. Kangaroos, tigers, and a creature dubbed a bone serpent are among the mix of actual and imaginary creatures in this game, each with their own special mechanics and drops.
Immersive Portals
Throwing oneself headfirst through a Minecraft Nether or end Portal without knowing what’s on the other side might be quite terrifying. Thankfully, Immersive Portals alters that by revealing just what lies beyond.
RLCraft
RLCraft, the all-time most popular Minecraft mod, taps into people’s love of fantasy by introducing dragons, fairies, and other creatures to your virtual world. That’s not all, though. RLCraft offers new biomes, towers, dungeons, and an entirely new survival experience in addition to a variety of frightening and endearing new creatures.
Pixelmon
Two of the most well-known gaming franchises ever coming together is the only thing better than one of the most well-known game franchises ever. All of your favorite Pokemon are brought to the world of Minecraft by Pixelmon.
SkyFactory 4
One of the oldest and most well-known Minecraft mods is SkyFactory, which is based on the well-liked SkyBlock map. The SkyFactory 4 game combines the industrial autonomy of SkyBlock with the original SkyBlock experience, letting you lose yourself in a floating Minecraft world filled with unusual tools and machinery, fresh crops, and even magic.
Better MC
Better MC includes several bosses, mobs, crops, items, dimensions, missions, and more to offer you the all-encompassing Minecraft experience you never realized you wanted. It is the creator’s idea of what Minecraft should have been. Not that we don’t still adore the core game, but after playing Better MC, Minecraft will never be the same.
Vault Hunters
Finally, Vault Hunters, another entirely game-changing mod pack, is our final choice from the list. Vault Hunters, created by prominent Minecraft YouTuber and Hermit Iskall85, plunges you into action-packed, randomly generated vaults where you must fight your way to priceless loot, armor, and weapons. The objective of Vault Hunters’ fully-playable narrative is to combine its 25 artifacts in order to open one final, fatal vault.
Little Tiles
We’re diving right in at the beginning of this guide’s construction mod part. LittleTiles gives players who desire greater flexibility the opportunity to construct with pixel-sized tiles, even though the restrictions of Minecraft’s blocks may be a big part of the appeal for some. Therefore, with LittleTiles, your creativity is the only bound. The little bricks in this mod can also be used to create moving parts, blinking lights, and many other things.
Chisel
You can alter any block’s texture by using Chisel, which provides you access to, well, a chisel. With a wide variety of industrial-style textures available, Chisel enables users to construct the most detailed and complicated mechanical creations.
FramedBlocks
Cubes are nice, but sometimes you want a slope, am I right? For you to use in your custom builds, FramedBlocks expands the Minecraft inventory with an absurd number of different shapes. However, the fact that their textures can be changed makes them much better. Simply right-click any other Minecraft block and choose a texture to apply to your slope, slab, or step. Would you want a woolen flower pot? You nailed it.
Decocraft
Decocraft is the mod for you if you’d want a little more choice when it comes to furnishing your Minecraft home. It includes almost 3,000 additional items for customizing, such as craftable chairs, tables, bowls, bottles, lamps, plush animals, beer kegs, and even a kitchen sink. You can sign up for the mod’s official Discord channel to stay informed about all of those things.
Bibliocraft
Bibliocraft likewise provides a lot of aesthetically beautiful building components, but these ones have different functions. Bibliocraft, which was originally built around movable bookcases, also has display cases, shelves, and printing presses. You can showcase your armor and awards on the shelves and display cases, and you can print out books to use in-game. For the elite Minecrafters among you, it even includes a monocle.
Pam’s HarvestCraft 2
Pam’s Harvestcraft 2 adds some major variety to your diet by adding new products to the menu while not really being a mod for constructing. Pam’s Harvestcraft 2 (PH2) is a follow-up to the original Pam’s Harvestcraft, which is still compatible with versions of Minecraft up to 1.12 and is composed of four distinct mods: Food Core, Crops, Trees, and Food Extended. The outcome is a Minecraft diet that is both opulent and well-balanced. Use it combined with Hunger Overhaul and The Spice of Life, both of which punish your bad eating habits, to make this a requirement rather than simply a nice addition to vanilla Minecraft.
