How To Use Mods In Minecraft

The issue with mods is they may need a little tinkering on your end. Generally, each mod pack comes with its own instructions and how to use it. You just have to follow what they tell you to do to get it going.

This being said, some websites come with built-in tools to keep track of these things such as Curseforge, the site we will be using for all our mods today. We've set the slight limitation of using only this site as it should clear up some confusion with mods and should help keep track. Now that this is done, let's get to our choices.

Best Minecraft 1.17 Mods (October 2021)

Biomes O'Plenty

Biomes O'Plenty is one more mod we want to add to this list. It adds over 50 new biomes to the game, providing a brand new experience for old-school Minecraft fans.

You can get in there right now and play it now that it's available for 1.17.

AppleSkin

AppleSkin is a simple but effective mod that visualises your stamina depletion and gives more accurate stats for food.

Food now has a chart next to it showing exactly how much it fills up your hunger bar, a simple but nice touch.

Clumps

Clumps is also a very simple mod that changes the minute to minute greatly. It pushes all your exp together, making the game run a little smoother

Inventory HUD+

Inventory HUD+ will be a little bit contentious among the community, I'd imagine. It clutters up your hud but in a way that is very valuable.

In this mod, you can see your entire inventory on-screen, alongside available potions and the durability of your armour.

Charm

Charm offers tonne of little items and recipes, alongside new textures and changes to the game. It's a small overhaul that adds a lot of little features.

This is one of those great mods that just entirely changes the way you play. In other words, it's a lot of fun.

DimensionalDoors

DimensionalDoors is what happens when you grab Minecraft and start thinking in portals. It gives you the opportunity to make your way between dimensions and end up somewhere entirely new.
