Questions tagged [minecraft-mods]

Minecraft is one of the games with the biggest modding community, despite not officially offering a modding API. Fan-made mod frameworks like Forge, Bukkit, or LiteLoader add this functionality and are used by mods that add more technical or magical elements or even entirely new dimensions with their own creatures and resources. Some mods just improve little details, like fixing bugs or adding compatibility with outside resources, like ViveCraft for VR goggles, ReplayMod for cinematic video creation, or various 3D printing exporters.

Tag usage guidance

Please also use minecraft-java-edition in addition to this tag. Mods for Bedrock Edition and Legacy Console Edition only exist as hacks or exploits. Do not use this tag for hacks or exploits. Behavior packs are not mods. Data packs that heavily modify the game’s effective behavior are sometimes called "Vanilla mods", but they are not actually mods.
