What is a Minecraft mod?
In Minecraft, mods are modifications made to the game that more or less radically change the way you play. They can completely shake up your game by modifying its gameplay, adding creatures or new mechanics.
Via our page which references numerous mods , you can discover all kinds of them, some of which can help you remember crafts ( Just Enough Items ), immerse yourself in a fantastic universe (The Middle Chunk), and teach you the art of magic ( Blood Magic ), and much more.
If purists prefer Minecraft Vanilla (i.e. without mod) or lightly modded, others, conversely, swear by an adventure enhanced by the presence of numerous enormous mods, adding dimensions, new adventures, even systems to automate the most thankless tasks on an industrial scale. So much so that Minecraft, more than a game, becomes a malleable support from which great things can emerge.
