Minecraft is a game full of adventures, but sometimes we want to add a little more excitement and new elements to the game. Mods are perfect for this. In this guide, we will explain everything you need to know about Minecraft mods and how to install them in different versions of the game.
What Are Mods?
Mods, or modifications, are files that modify and add content to the original game. This can include new mechanics, creatures, objects, environments, and much more. Unlike texture packs, which only change the appearance of the game, mods can alter the game at a deeper level.
Mod Recommendations
If you are new to the world of Minecraft mods, here are some recommendations to get started:
- Optifine: This mod improves the game’s performance and adds new graphic options.
- JourneyMap: This mod adds a detailed map that you can consult at any time.
- Tinkers’ Construct: This mod allows you to create custom tools and weapons.
I want my mods, what do I do?
Keep in mind that many mods require the creation of a new world, so when you go to play with the mods do not expect your world in Minecraft Vanilla to change places.
Before going to the steps to install our mods, we have to search for the mods we want. In each version of Minecraft, they work differently, in some you search on the internet and in others, they are inside the same game store.
When you search on the Internet, there is a wide variety of pages to download the incredible mods, which are not official, because as we just told you, anyone can create mods.
But of course, if you are not convinced by these unofficial pages and you want something that is totally safe, go to the official page to download mods and totally free.
You can also create your own mod in Minecraft if you know how to program.
