Mod list

Minecraft has the best modding community in the world. Despite no official mod tools being released, players are constantly expanding and adding an astonishing amount of new content.
Here I will be introducing you to some of the best mods out there.
Because Minecraft has no mod tools, getting them running can be tricky. Fortunately all of these mods include proper installation instructions on their homepages, but most of them use Risugami’s modloader. This excellent little utility makes setting up mods much easier, so make sure you install it if you plan on trying anything on this list.

1. Yogbox

This is not a solo mod, but a mod compilation. Yogbox, put together by the nice chaps at Yogcast, combines a variety of Minecraft mods, including some from this list, into one handy installer. It even includes its own version of the popular Painterly texture pack. It’s perfect for players who haven’t modded their game before and just want as much as possible in one simple, reliable install




2. Single player commands 

Here is another fun mod. Sometimes you just want to cheat, maybe because you’re building something epic, maybe you’re testing out one of the mods on this list, or maybe you’d just rather have fun than be challenged. For these people there is the Single Player Commands mod, which brings the admin powers from multiplayer Minecraft into solo games, for those who want to wield the power of a small, blocky god.





3. SteamCraft

Adding a little bit of steampunk to technology to Minecraft, Pchan3 has created three mods under his SteamCraft banner. A steam powered boat lets you sail more reliably while a steampunk airship lets you fly through the air with the greatest of ease. If you want some competition for the skies you can also download the sky pirate mod, which creates pirate mobs piloting similar airships to yourself.
