Vanilla Minecraft is fun, sure… But what makes this game epic is its large selection of wonderful mods! There are thousands of Minecraft mods out there, ranging from small bug fixes to complete Minecraft overhauls. Some mods add tons of new mobs while some even allow space travels!
With the number of mods out there, choosing the right one for you and your friends is an ordeal. That’s why we created a list to help you out. Check out EnviousHost’s 10 must try Minecraft mods for Minecraft 1.6 to 1.7!
10: Zelda Sword Skills by coolAlias
Almost everyone who loves Minecraft also loves The Legend of Zelda, and that’s why this wonderful mod is on our list. Zelda Sword Skills introduces a plethora of Zelda features into Minecraft. This mod adds new swords, sword pedestals, mobs, orbs, bombs, hookshots, a variety of Zelda items, and interactive Zelda sword skills (of course you are already expecting that from the title).
9: Millenaire by Kinniken
Bring the semi-empty world of Minecraft to life and make Steve happy once more by adding fellow humans to the blocky world! Millenaire is an NPC mod that adds complex human villages all over your game. These NPCs will have names, races, and functions, adding life and immersion to your game. You can interact with them by buying and selling, or leave them be for a couple of days and see the city grow by itself. Villages also get plundered by NPC marauders and raiders so be sure to protect the children.
8: Smart Moving by Divisor
Smart Moving is one of the early mods that I fell in love with, and I still am. This mod simply puts new character movements that are complete with new animations. With this mod installed, your Minecraft avatar will have fully animated swimming, flying, and climbing ladders. Your character will also be able to climb walls, do monkey-bar climbing, dodge left and right, crawl, slide, and even dive! Now how’s that for immersion?
7: Flan’s Mod 4.0 by JamioFlan
Flan’s Mod is not just a single Minecraft modification, it is actually a gateway to a whole new level of mods. By itself, Flan’s mod only features the basic parts to create basic planes and guns, but the vehicles and weapons themselves are not included. The next thing you got to do is choose a package and install it to get the full potential of the mod. Packages include World War II weapons and tanks, modern planes, futuristic weapons and mechas, Wild West themed weapons and many other player-created contents!
6: Mo’ Creatures by DrZhark
One of the most famous mods that is included in many mod packs, Mo’ Creatures is a mod where vanilla horse originated from. This mod not only adds mobs, it also adds a series of new items that can be obtained from the new mobs. You want to know the best part? Mo’ Creatures mod adds flying mounts – the wyverns! This awesome mob can be tamed, bred, and mounted along with giant scorpions and elephants. A must add mod if I may say.
5: Unbelievable Shaders & GSLS Shaders by SonicEther
Ever wondered why some Minecraft screenshots are just spectacularly beautiful? Wonder no more! This wonderful mod enhances Minecraft’s graphics 10 times fold. This mod adds a variety of shaders that player can use and choose from. Depending on the pack installed, Minecraft can have water reflections, volumetric clouds, immersive shadows, and other visual improvements that make Minecraft stunning. The only downside is, not every graphics card support these improvements, and it also takes a toll on the game’s performance.

Having trouble with Minecraft’s performance? Try installing this one-of-a-kind mod! Optifine is a unique mod that allows users to optimize and customize more visual options that are not available in vanilla.
