If you love Minecraft but are getting a little bored of the vanilla experience, we highly recommend trying out some mods. Since Minecraft's modding scene has been active for years there are tons and tons of mods for Minecraft. Each mod changes or enhances the Minecraft experience in creative and fun ways. And the best part? Installing Minecraft Mods is easier than mods for other video games. (Check out our guide to how to install and use mods with Minecraft: Java Edition on your PC for more help). Minecraft mods can make the game even more enjoyable.



In this article, we've compiled a comprehensive list of all of the best Minecraft mods we recommend trying. It may take some time for these mods to be updated because Minecraft is a frequently updated game. However, it's also important to remember that you can still play them by using the Minecraft Launcher to roll back to previous versions of the game that are compatible with the mods you want to play.



Best Minecraft mods: Utility mods



These mods don’t add content or alter gameplay, but they make Minecraft experience more smoother by improving performance as well as adding some valuable quality of life features to Minecraft.



Minecraft: Java Edition is known for being less stable than its Bedrock counterpart. However, installing OptiFine will improve the game's performance and give you many new graphics options to tweak.



The vanilla recipe book is pretty useless in Minecraft. You can't view the recipes until after you've discovered them once. This forces a lot players to check out community-made wikis. It's not anymore! With Just Enough Items (JEI), you can view the recipe for any item in the game (including items added by mods) whenever you want.



Here's What Your're Looking At (HWYLA), is a neat little mod that allows to see the name of any entity or block you find in the game, and the mod it came from. This is a handy tool to use during modded playthroughs to ensure you can keep track all the mods you've added in your game.



Best Minecraft mods: Gameplay mods



These mods directly impact Minecraft gameplay by adding new biomes, dimensions, altering gameplay mechanics and implementing new features.



Biomes O' Plenty



Sick of the vanilla Minecraft biomes and want some diversity? Biomes O’ Plenty adds tons more to make your Minecraft world richer and more interesting.



The Aether II



The Aether II adds in a brand-new heavenly dimension called The Aether that, in many ways, is the opposite of The Nether. With plenty of new mobs to encounter, structures to explore, building blocks to use, and loot to acquire, The Aether II is easily one of the best Minecraft mods ever made. Mojang even offered to hire the creator!



Tough as nails



Tough As Nails improves Minecraft Survival Mode by adding temperature and thirst mechanics. To survive, it is important to stay hydrated. Also, it is important to not get too hot/cold when exploring deserts and other extreme biomes.



Serene Seasons



Serene seasons adds seasons to Minecraft. They change as the time passes. Seasons affect when crops can grow, what the weather is like and what temperature it is (this mod works well with Tough As Nails). The seasons also bring some nice visual variety to the Minecraft experience.



Fossils & Archeology Revival



What if Minecraft had dinosaurs?! Fossils and Archeology Revival allows you to bring them into the game by discovering fossils, capturing DNA and creating eggs. The Minecraft art style is perfect for the dinosaur models. Just don't make them mad, or you might become their lunch.



Ice and Fire



Ice and Fire is the best mob mod for Minecraft, offering a wide range of new creatures to the game. These include trolls. pixies. hippogryphs. sirens. And dragons are the most powerful and prominent of all. Dragons can be found flying around your worlds. If you are able to take down one, you can create powerful weapons and armor from its bones and scales. If you're also lucky enough to find and kill a dragon sleeping in an underground nest, you may just find a dragon egg that you can hatch for a dragon of your own!



Do you want to decorate your base, but you wish that you had more options beyond what vanilla has to offer? Decocraft offers over 3,000 new decoration options. Everything from new pieces of exquisite furniture to small decorative trinkets are available in the mod.



Chisels & Bits



Chisels & Bits enables you to whittle Minecraft blocks pixel by pixel in order to create unique decorations. This mod can be difficult to master, but some of what you can create with it is amazing.



Project Red



Minecraft Redstone is powerful and versatile but it requires a lot more space than its vanilla implementation. Project Red is an excellent option if you are interested in working with Redstone, and you want to reduce the size your designs. This mod provides new options for wiring and circuitry that allow you to create advanced Redstone machine designs in a smaller space.



Best Minecraft mods: Graphics mods



These mods can make Minecraft look more appealing visually by adding animations, lighting effects, textures and more. If you have a high-quality PC, we recommend you try them.



Mo' Bends



Mo' Bends adds new animations to Minecraft's mobs, and (optionally), the player. liberty is not free The vanilla animations in Minecraft are quite stiff, even though they are charming. This mod offers a refreshing change of pace.



BSL Shaders



BSL Shaders provide the perfect balance between performance and quality. They bring natural lighting, water effects and wind effects to your game without affecting your FPS.



Better Foliage



You can add more flora to Minecraft. Better Foliage adds detail to leaves, making them feel fuller. It also covers grass blocks with short blades to make them standout more.



Clarity



If you want to overhaul your Minecraft textures, we highly recommend using the Clarity mod. It adds 32x32 textures in Minecraft that are richer and more detailed than the original game's. As a result, Clarity essentially makes Minecraft look much sharper without hitting performance too much or changing the game's art direction.
