Although just the basic Minecraft can be endless fun for most people, modifications to the game, or mods as they are commonly called, can make it that much better. I would like to discuss some of the many benefits to installing and using mods for Minecraft.
Customize Your World
Using mods in Minecraft allows you to customize the game to your liking. By adding different weapons and armor, it allows you as the player to put your own personal touch on the game. There are a variety of different mods out there that offer a variety of different additions and customizations to the game. For example, there is a mod called “too many items” which allows you to have access to every inventory item in the game and allows infinite stacks of each item without having to go to your inventory or having to go to your inventory. This can be very beneficial as it eliminates some of the more time consuming aspects of the game.
Adds Even More Variety
Although the game of Minecraft already offers a wide variety of different things to do and inventory items, it doesn’t hurt to add more. Using mods allows you do add even more types of armor and weapons than area already available in the basic game. For example, there are mods that allow you have many different types of swords, like a light saber.
You can even get mods that give you things like missiles that are capable of destroying a large part of the map. While this may be counterproductive, it is still fun. There is also a mod that allows you to have a gravity gun. This is a gun that allows you to pick up the various different blocks, mobs and animals and launch them. Although this may not be completely necessary, it is still pretty cool.
Also, there are mods that allow you to spawn different variations of mobs and animals in the game. For example, there are mods for Minecraft that add flying animals to the game, such as flying pigs. You can also add animals to the game that are not seen in the game without mods. Animals such as ostriches and turkeys can be added via the use of a mod. Adding even more variety to the game in the way of different animals and weapons makes the game even more enjoyable to play.
Simplifies Things
Using mods helps simplify some of the common tasks in Minecraft. For example, there is a mod available that allows you to collect all the wood from a tree by only chopping one block. Without the mod you would have to chop each block individually in order to collect all the wood from the tree. There is also a mod that gives you the ability to see through all of the blocks except through ore. This is the X-ray mod and it helps you find ore that much quicker. This is especially helpful when looking for diamond ore, one of the rarest types of ore in the game. Having these types of mods makes one of the main goals in the game, collecting resources, that much simpler and less time consuming.
Change the Look of Your World and Your Character
There are mods and add-ons to Minecraft that allows you to change the overall look of the map. There are mods available that add different types of plants to the map. You can also find mods that allow different types of meteors to fall onto the map.
There are also add-ons available for Minecraft that are called “texture packs.” Using these types of add-ons allows you to change the texture of the blocks in your world. This makes the certain blocks in the game, such as brick blocks, look different but is still used the same way. There are also add-ons available to change the look of your character as well. These types of add-ons are called “skins.” Skins allow you to change how your character looks by changing the hairstyle and clothes of your character. There are many different types of skins available; often times these skins make your character look very similar to other characters in other popular video games.
Keeps It Interesting
Minecraft is a game that is very interesting and you could easily spend hours on end building your world and collecting resources for survival. However, mods can make this already interesting game just that much more. Just when you get close to becoming bored with the game, if that’s possible, there is always a mod that can spark your interest again. Whether it’s adding different types of inventory items, or adding different types of weapons, such as a rocket launcher, mods make Minecraft more interesting by adding different ways for your to interact with the Minecraft world.
Because It’s Just More Fun
Adding mods and add-ons to Minecraft just makes the game that much more fun. It allows for so many more possibilities in a game that already seems to have endless possibilities already. You can almost literally do whatever you want with the right mod. You can make the game whatever you want it to be. There are so many different mods available on the Internet, and more and more are made all the time. The only thing limiting the amount of things you can do with mods in the game of Minecraft is your own imagination. This is what makes Minecraft so much fun and is why people of all ages enjoy playing this game.
Chapter 4- How to find Minecraft Mods?
There are many different mods to use with Minecraft. Finding these mods is fairly simple to do. It just depends what system you are playing Minecraft on, a PC or on a gaming system. A PC, or Personal Computer, is a lot easier since you just search and download whatever you want. It is very easy to find mods for either game, but the process for finding the mods will be a little different. The gaming console has a much more complicated process for getting mods and installing them. Both methods do require a computer with an internet connection.
If you do not have an internet connection you cannot download mods, but if you download the mods when you do have an internet connection you can use them offline. So if you have a laptop with a wireless internet connection you could go to a local business or a friend’s house with wireless internet and download your mods. Then when you are away from the internet you can still use those mods you downloaded already. You can do the same with the game console, as long as you download the stuff you want while having an internet connection.
If you are using a PC you can search the web and put the mods right on the computer. There are a lot of different websites that have mods and they are usually free to download. If you search for "Minecraft mods" in your web browser it will come up with thousands of results. Usually every website will have different mods. It is best just to search the different sites in order to find the mods that you want. There are mods that do everything from letting you have a piece of bacon to flying crafts and upgraded weapons.
If you know specifically what mod you are looking for refining your search to that mod will make finding it a lot faster. For example, if you want to be able to upgrade your weapons faster you want the forge mod. So if you search for "Minecraft mod forge" then the first site to come up should get you straight to downloading this mod. If you aren't exactly sure what you want but kind of have an idea you can also try to be a little more general with your search and find many mods that do close to the same thing. For instance, if you search for "Minecraft mods vehicles" it will come up with a bunch of different websites that have a variety of different vehicle mods. You can get cars, mine carts, and all sorts of different drivable vehicles. There are websites devoted to Minecraft mods.
You can not only download mods but you are able to send requests to some of these websites and ask them for a specific mod. It doesn't mean that they are going to make the mod but if they get enough requests, or your idea is awesome, there is a good chance someone will make it. You can also become a member of these websites and get all the new mods as soon as they come out as well as many other member benefits. There are constantly new mods available for Minecraft
