What is Minecraft Mod

As we all know, Minecraft is a game with a high degree of freedom, which is not only reflected in the fact that Minecraft is a game with a variety of gameplay and a lot of game content, but also reflected in the game's Inclusive attitude for players to modify the game, that is, the inclusiveness of Mods. A large number of players in the gaming community have contributed a wide variety of mods to Minecraft, from functional modifications that enhance the game content, to content additions that bring other video games, film and television works or real-world content into the game, to map of a variety of genres using the original content of the game or other Mod content. As well as texture packs and character skins that modify the game's visual effects. In other words, Minecraft is a game that really does "create a unique world."
Functional Modifications Mod

Functional modification Mods are probably the type of Mods that best fits most people's first impression about mods. Modifying game stats to make players more powerful or invincible is the most basic form of this kind of Mod. however Minecraft's Mod community has largely abandoned this form over the years, opting instead to make the game more fun. Such as adding thirst, temperature and other conditions to make it harder for the player to survive, or using Minecraft as a platform to create some Mini games, or expanding on the original game content, such as adding new enemies, new resources and new equipment. The Fortify Mod, for example, adds a variety of new minerals to the game and modifies existing ones, and each new and modified mineral can be used to craft weapons with new attributes and features.



Content Additions Mod

Content additions mods are probably the most popular mods among players, because content additions mods are generally related to other things that some players enjoy. Fans of anime, video games, film and television works, for example, make mods based on their favorite IP, and these mods are generally well-made, not simply modifying the visual effects of the game, but bringing Settings, mechanics, and even gameplay from the IP into Minecraft. The Pokemon Mod, for example, allows players to literally capture Pokemon in Minecraft, as well as play Pokemon collection and battle.
 

Or people who are fans of things in reality, like racing cars, animals, even the military, they will recreate the things they love in Minecraft, they will pay attention to the real details of these things. For example, Morningstar War Pack Mod, a realistic Cold War-themed Mod, recreates Cold War guns and vehicles from both sides in Minecraft form, with fine detail and elaborate modeling.



Save/Map Sharing

In a strict sense, Save/Map sharing is not a type of Mod, many saves are built using game content rather than modifying the game content, and of course there are saves made using mods, but relying on other mods rather than the save itself. However, because of its low production difficulty (as long as you are playing Minecraft, and you know where your save is located), easy to install, and can express a variety of content, save/map is also a particularly popular type of Mod among players. Whether it is the various buildings you build in the game, or the precision machinery you make through the red stone, or a campaign you build in the game can be shared. For example, Poppy Playtime is a campaign map based on the horror game Poppy Playtime inspired deciphered map, with excellent architecture and level design.



TexturePack and Skin

Compared with the functionality of other mods to add a variety of new content, texture pack and skin are completely related to beauty, the principle of the them are replace the material of the game itself, so that the game screen or the player character is more beautiful or stylish, such as Bare Bones Texture Pack, which used large color blocks makes the game looks more simplified and stylish.

Or Spider-Verse Skin Pack, a Spider-man-themed mod added multiple player skins


How to Install a Mod


With the development of Minecraft and the Mod community, the installation of Minecraft Mod has not been as complex as in the past, here, we simply describe the ANDROID version of Minecraft PE Mod installation process.

1. The first and most important step is to determine which version of the game you are using and whether this version is supported by the Mods. Since Minecraft PE has been updated to many versions, and Mods are launched in early and late, not all Mod makers have the energy to constantly update mods with the game version, and not all Mod makers have the ability to support older versions of the game, so you need to make sure your Mod supports the version of the game you're playing.





2. If you use your phone to install the Mod, you need to make sure your phone has either a file manager app and an app that can extract files, or connect your phone to your computer and use your computer to operate.

3. Download the Mod you want, and determine the format of the Mod file, different formats have different installation methods.

If your Mod is a .mcpack /.mcworld /.mcaddon format, look at 4, and if your Mod is a .rar /.zip format, look at 5.

4. If your Mod is a .mcpack /.mcworld /.mcaddon format, you can open the Mod file directly. When you choose how to open the file, click Open with Minecraft. Minecraft will automatically install the Mod.






5. If your Mod is a .rar /.zip format, extract your file and remember where you had extracted it, then find the location where Minecraft is located and open the com. mojang folder, there should have the following folders in this folder:

behavior_packs - Usually associated with mods

minecraftWorlds - Used to install save

resources_packs - Sometimes used for mods, but also for texture packs




Then we go back to the extracted file, identify which folders are in it, and put the folder named with resources/textures in com. mojang/resources_packs folder. Place the folder named with behavior intocom.mojang/behavior_packs folder, and place the save into minecraftWorlds folder.

6. When you're done with 4 or 5 and all the files are in the right place, open Minecraft PE, edit your save or create a new one (it's recommended to create a creative mode save to make it easier to identify mod content). In Create New World menu, tap the Resource pack (if your mod includes the contents of resources_packs), or the Behavior pack (if your mod includes the contents of behavior_packs), and activate the downloaded Mod. If you are using save/map, then you only need to find the save you downloaded in the game's existing saves.
 


7. Open your world and enjoy the content of the Mod you installed (it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the content of your mod before installing the mod)
