All mini-bosses drop various magical armor and tools. If you come across a mini-boss, you will definitely see a bar at the top when you hover your cursor over it. It is highly recommended to install this mod together with Zombie Awareness.	AtomicStryker

All best mods, which you can download for Minecraft.

Right here you will find our selection of the best Minecraft mods. Mods with which you will take everything from Minecaraft, no matter which one you download. They might just improve the lighting or make the frames a little bigger, or they might create entirely new worlds and different ways to play.

But we warn you: not all mods are compatible with the latest one Minecraft version, and some require an older version of Forge to be installed to run. Luckily, installing older mods isn't difficult. Most mods come with instructions, but if they don't, here's a mini-guide on how to make them work.

Each mod is great in its own way, of course, but it's worth noting that they may conflict with each other if you try to install some of them at the same time. If you're struggling with this or other issues, consider installing ready-made modpacks provided by Feed the Beast and Technic Platform. This is one of the easiest ways to quickly and easily play modified Minecraft.

Millnaire

Download

How many times have you been greeted by nothing but emptiness while exploring a new territory? The Millnaire mod fixes this by introducing a lot of new content in a place where there was nothing before. Instead of village swamps, villages populated by men, women and children appear. Even the villages themselves have been remodeled and there is now a Norman, North Indian and 11th century Mayan village.

Fossil and Archeology revival mod

Download

If the only thing you're missing from Minecraft is dinosaurs. Who wouldn't want to give up creepers in favor of tyrannosaurs? A huge number of these creatures can not only be created in Creative mode, the player will be able to hunt for the remains in order to bring forgotten creatures back to life. In addition to the major texture change, there's also an Anu boss for those looking to test their prehistoric skills.

Instant Massive Structures

Download

Okay, okay, this mod might be a bit of a cheat. We've all seen huge structures that make our 5x5 house look like a bucket. But what if you want to change the game? What if you want a huge city in seconds? Then the Instant Structures mod comes into play. Just go to the menu, select a block, right-click on it, and the building will magically appear. You will be able to create a huge number of structures from castles to houses, even to tram stops. Yes, technically it's cheating, but we won't tell anyone.

The Lost Cities

Download

Something ended life as we knew it. The buildings are in disrepair, all have disappeared, or so it only seems so. The Lost Cities, as the name suggests, takes you to a city that time has forgotten. For what purpose? See how long you can survive in this post-apocalyptic wasteland without succumbing to thoughts of death. But if that's not enough for you, this mod is linked to the Biomes O Plenty mod, which means you'll have plenty of new areas to explore besides empty cities.

Biosphere

Creating a decent sized biosphere takes about 8 hours. I know this because I spent 8 hours painstakingly creating one. In the end, I wanted to throw Minecraft into the mouth of the nearest volcano. Creating something spherical rather than a jagged diamond is not easy. Luckily, the Biosphere mod removes all the annoying obstacles and sends you into a world where the sky is filled with various floating biomes. Just don't fall, right?

The Aether

Download

The Aether (pronounced “ee-ther”) is the opposite of the Nether. While the Nether looks like hell, the Aether is kinda heavenly kingdom. After traveling through the portal, you will find yourself above the clouds, surrounded by stunning, newly designed floating islands. There are also new mobs, including flying cows and pigs, some new bosses, and new types of loot blocks.

Optifine

Download

Minecraft is not very well optimized for fast and slow computers. The game runs surprisingly poorly on low-end laptops, and high-end machines can't make it much more enjoyable. Use Optifine - a mod that not only increases performance, but also makes the game look better. It supports HD textures, smooth lighting and much more, thanks to frequent frame rate doubling. This is one of the first mods I add when installing Minecraft.

Twilight Forest

Download

Do you like adventures? This mod adds a new, densely forested dimension, shrouded in eternal twilight, which hides both valuable treasures and dangerous monsters. Throw a diamond into a pool of water surrounded by flowers to create a portal there, then wait a moment to load. Here you will find hedge mazes, empty hills, enchanted groves, glaciers, the Lich's Castle and much more, as well as rewards for those who venture deeper.

Biomes O'Plenty

Download

Since the Update That Changed The World at the end of 2013, Minecraft worlds there is more variety. But Biomes O'Plenty adds even more - 75 to be exact - from bush fields, coral reefs, lavender fields and eerie forests to tundra and wastelands. You'll need to create a new world to use this mod (make sure to select the Biomes O'Plenty option), but it's worth it to see corners of Minecraft you haven't seen before.

Botania

Some mods add powerful magic items. Others add complex technique. Botania just adds flowers, but not simple ones. Flowers that heal you. Flowers that feed animals. Flowers that direct hostile mobs at each other. Flowers that eat cake. Oh, and did I mention that you can also use flowers to create a magical portal to Elfland? If you want to try something completely different from other mods, Botania is it.

Inventory Tweaks, NotEnoughItems & Waila

This trio of mods will improve your life, especially when you have many mods installed at the same time. Inventory Tweaks will allow you to sort chests with one click and automatically replace tools when they break. NotEnoughItems provides you with a list of all the blocks in the game and recipes for crafting them, while Waila lets you hover over an unknown block to find out what it is.

Thaumcraft

Download

Being a mage is cool, and the best way to become a mage in Minecraft is Thaumcraft. This is a huge mod that allows you to extract magical energy from physical objects in Minecraft and transform it into new forms. In the process, you'll create altars, wands, golems, and fill dozens of jars with colored goo. There is also a puzzle game that you must complete to learn new spells.

Eyephone Mod

Download

Friends can now call you in-game to spoil the latest episode of Game of Thrones. Hooray? Just like a regular phone, the Eyephone is equipped with a set of applications (which can be unlocked using diamonds). Best feature is the ability to send your friends a letter to email, to make fun of them, and why not? The only drawback is that you have to create in the game Charger to keep your phone in working order. Just like in real life, right?

A mod that will make creepers even deadlier

Download

Creepers aren't giving you enough trouble? We can fix this. The Chameleon Creepers mod makes it so that creepers, passing by blocks, change color to match their surroundings. In short, this makes creepers even more deadly because you won't see them until they hiss behind you. It is not clear why we would want to use this mod, but for masochists it will come in handy.

"Pursued by Hunters"

Download

Sometimes the simplest mods can breathe life into Minecraft new life. The Medieval Mobs mod does just that, replacing the current mob lineup with bloodthirsty hunters. The Rogue takes the place of the skeleton, while the Bandit and the Savage play the role of the zombie. But be careful, these new mobs act differently than their coded counterparts. They are smarter, faster and do not burn in the sun. But if they're too much for you, there's a configuration file to balance out these fiends.

Ultimate Apocalypse

Download

The world will soon end. In five days, the sun will explode, which means all life: plants, trees, mobs, animals, villagers will burn. And yes, you too. Can you gather enough supplies to go underground and start a new life? Can you survive without the gifts of nature? These are the questions that the Ultimate Apocalypse mod asks. Surviving this harsh, ash-covered landscape will require every trick you've ever learned.

Natura

Download

Another great mod for improving the world is Natura. It adds a huge number of new types of trees, and therefore wood colors, which will make your home more attractive. The mod also adds a few extra crops to produce food and resources early in the game, as well as making the Nether a little more dangerous. Natura is a great first step into Minecraft mods because it's close to the normal game.

JourneyMap

Download

The default maps in Minecraft are complete crap. They don't show any detail, you have to pull them out to view them, and they don't show anything other than where you are. JourneyMap fixes this - the map displays the world in real time as you explore, can be positioned in the corner of the screen, and even allows you to set waypoints that you can return to later. If you have a habit of getting lost in the wilderness, JourneyMap will help you get home safely.

Tinker's Construct

Download

Tools are the foundation of everything you do in Minecraft, and Tinker's Construct allows you to create the best tools from a wide range of materials. They can be improved, modified and repaired if they are broken. Yes, the mod also adds a smelter to create high-quality tools and increase the efficiency of ore processing. If you want the best equipment for the job, download Tinker's Construct.

Forestry

Download

If you like the agricultural aspects of Minecraft, you'll love Forestry. This is a huge mod that adds a bunch of new items, cars and blocks, but is best known for its bees. You can become a beekeeper by capturing wild bees and crossing them, using genetic principles to create various useful resources. If I taught biology, I would use this in the classroom.

ComputerCraft

Download

Since we are studying biology, let's study programming too! ComputerCraft adds programmable computers and robots (turtles) to Minecraft that you can control by writing code. It's all based on the easy-to-learn Lua programming language, and with it you can make password-protected doors, private chats, automated mining robots, and even video games within a game. The possibilities are endless.

Thermal Expansion 4 & Minefactory Reloaded

Download

These titans are some of the most important tech mods in the game. Thermal Expansion focuses on energy production and storage, as well as adding new metals that have become standard components in several other mods. Minefactory Reloaded is where you will use this energy - in automation Agriculture, animal husbandry, mining, magic, potion making and so on. Download both mods and a couple of additional ones here.

Big Reactors

Download

After some time, considering a large number of installed technical mods, you will realize that your energy needs are growing faster than the generator capacity allows. Then the Big Reactors mod comes to the rescue. It will allow you to build individually customizable nuclear reactors that produce massive amounts of energy that will not disappear if something goes wrong. The mod even interfaces with ComputerCraft so you can create a program to control your reactors. Beginning nuclear scientists can download the mod.

Chisel & Carpenter's Blocks

Making your base look beautiful is a minor task for some players, but for others it is a vital part of the game. These two mods give you the tools you need to customize almost any aspect of your base's design. Chisel allows you to load new texture options for most of the most common blocks in the game, while Carpenter's Blocks adds lifts and loads aesthetic options for doors, switches, torches, stairs, fences and more.

RailCraft & Steve's Carts 2

You can probably guess what these mods do. That's right - they both significantly increase the capabilities of minecarts in Minecraft. RailCraft adds a bunch of new rail types, including complex red ore-controlled junctions and signals, while Steve's Carts increases the capabilities of the carts themselves - adding brakes, drills and so on. You can even install an attachment that launches fireworks.

EnderIO

Download

Getting materials where they are needed is an ongoing problem in Minecraft. EnderIO solves this with impressive grace by adding compact conduits that carry liquids, items, energy, and redstone signals. The mod also adds several machines that increase your ore processing abilities. When your base gets more complex, EnderIO is one of the... the best ways deal with it.

Applied Energistics 2

Download

Storage can also become an issue when you start automatically mining more and more resources in Minecraft. Applied Energistics solves this problem by converting the matter in your chests into energy, which is then stored on disks accessible via wireless network from anywhere in your base. You can even use the mod to automatically create what you need by interacting directly with your machines. It doesn't sound magical, but it is. Of course, this requires a huge amount of energy, but after correct settings wooden chests will seem like primitive relics from the past.

JABBA and Iron Chests 2

Download

A couple more storage mods, but this time for the early stages of the game. JABBA adds easy-to-make, upgradeable barrels that can store hundreds of piles of a single item, while Iron Chests lets you upgrade wooden chests to hold more stuff. Ultimately you may want to use the Applied Energistics system, but these mods will make the game early stage much more enjoyable.

Extra Utilities & OpenBlocks

This pair of mods is a set of very useful utilities without a specific theme. Extra Utilities adds a golden lasso to transport friendly mobs, blackout curtains to darken areas, conveyor belts to move mobs around, and noise suppressors to make your stables quieter. And OpenBlocks adds sleeping bags, gliders, elevators, tombstones, rope ladders and buildings. Both mods are important.

PneumaticCraft

Download

It's always interesting to see mods that try to change something different from others. PneumaticCraft is a technical mod, but instead of energy it uses air pressure. You'll need to build compression chambers, pipes, and valves to make sure you balance the air flow, because if anything goes wrong, an explosion is inevitable. However, if you do it right, the fancy gadgets that PneumaticCraft brings, such as air cannons and customizable helmets, are worth your time.

Hunger Overhaul, The Spice of Life & Pam's HarvestCraft

Aren't you hungry? After installing Hunger Overhaul you definitely will. The mod makes hunger a challenge rather than a mild irritant, reducing the feeling of hunger depending on the type of food eaten. The Spice of Life will allow you to get less and less bang for your buck each time you eat the same foods. So what can you do to diversify your diet? Of course, install Pam's HarvestCraft. The mod adds 58 new crops, 35 fruit trees, 12 bushes and 16 types of fish, including, to the delight of vegetarians, the ability to use tofu instead of fish for any recipe. It's a culinary blast and your mouth will thank you.

Once you use BiblioCraft, your base will look like home.

Steve's Factory Manager
