Have you ever heard of the Arcana game from back in the SNES days? It had mazes and dungeons, cards used to create magical effects and many RPG elements all tied together to make a solid, if linear, game. Well, the Arcana RPG Mod for...
One of the hardest parts of starting out on any fresh Minecraft world is the actual start itself. On Survival mode, you can get a chest with some basic supplies near the point where you spawn, but you donโt even get that if you play...
Skyblock is such a fun way to play Minecraft that itโs no surprise there are many imitators out there. But sometimes, those imitations manage to do enough unique stuff of their own to stand out as more of an individual map rather than just a...
The Solar System command block utilizes a pair of blocks to bring a miniaturized version of our solar system to your Minecraft world. This includes the 9 (or 8) planets, the sun they revolve around and more. This is actually brought into the world using...
There are so many mods out there which add food items to Minecraft that they really tend to be the same once youโve seen a handful. They can dress up foods, give them different names and make the recipes use different ingredients, but at the...
Have you ever tried out any of the Elemental Sword mods for Minecraft? There are actually several of them, with many different weapons and effects. The Elemental Witches mod here takes a lot of inspiration from those weapon mods. Like them, it adds a number...
In a game like Minecraft where detailed worlds and fantastic stories can be drawn up and created for players to enjoy, it only makes sense that some players will want to role play and really get into the experience. The RPCraft mod is perfect for...
Sometimes, people playing Minecraft will wish there was some sort of minigame they could play; maybe something to do while that stack of raw meat is cooking, or all that ore from the last mining trip is smelting in a furnace. MineChess is a mod...
Minecraft is a game loaded with repetitive tasks. Chopping wood, mining minerals, farming food and other features do help to define the game, but they can also become very boring for players who are trekking through their thousandth world or beyond. Many mods seek to...
Dragons are pretty much the ultimate enemy, the sort of thing you kind of expect to fight at the end of an epic quest. Itโs no surprise that the strongest monster in Minecraft is the Enderdragon and itโs also no surprise that people occasionally make...
The HUD, or Heads Up Display, is an important part of every game, including Minecraft. It conveys important information to the player, like their remaining life, armor levels, their hotkey bar, the time of day and a number of other items, depending on the game...
There are so many rollercoaster maps in Minecraft that you would have to play through a few dozen before you were anywhere close to the bottom of the barrel. But who makes these things? If youโve ever tried to build a rollercoaster in Minecraft and...
Anyone who has played The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim before will already know what to expect from the Dragon Shouts Mod. This essentially adds the Shouts from Skyrim to Minecraft, allowing the player to shove enemies and friendly mobs alike all aside by using the...
Calling any piece of food in Minecraft useful is debatable. Sure, spider eyes will fill up your hunger meter if you eat enough of them, but theyโll also poison you and bring you down to half a heart of health, making it easy for anything,...
What could be more terrifying than giant pig meteors falling from the sky and destroying your Minecraft world? Well, a lot of things probably. The Nether is a pretty scary place on its own, after all. But the Pig Meteors mod reminds us all that...

If youโve been playing Minecraft for very long, youโve probably made it to the Nether once or twice. You probably also know that you need drops from monsters there to make a brewing stand, as well as how powerful and helpful many potions can be....
Creating customized terrain in the world of Minecraft is a tedious process, even if you happen to be playing on Creative mode. Thatโs why programs like World Maker are so popular among map authors who like to include lots of custom terrain. They allow for...
The Desired Blocks mod is the definition of a utility mod. It doesnโt add much content to Minecraft, and what it does add is merely for the sake of convenience. You wonโt find any OP weapons, armor or tools here, but you will find all...
Essentially, the Brazier Mod adds a number of new light sources to Minecraft. There are three light blocks in total, as well as a fourth sort of replacement for furnaces which apparently burns through fuel at a faster rate, making it useless for large jobs....
Fans of the way Minecraft used to look back in its beta stages will probably love the RetroCraft resource pack. It brings back many of the old textures which have been updated and made to look different over the years. Granted, it gives the entire...
With a name like A Brush More Colour youโre probably expecting a very colorful resource pack here. You wonโt be disappointed if thatโs what youโve come looking for today. Just about every texture in Minecraft gets brightened up and emboldened by this pack, which somehow...
Building in Minecraft is fun now and then, but only when youโre working on your house, or your farm, or something else thatโs going to help you directly. Most people donโt actually enjoy building massive online worlds by hand, which is why they use mods...
