Mods

Mods change the game itself, so every one of them is tied to a Minecraft version and a loader. Filter by both and you get the list that will actually load, not the list that mentions your version somewhere in its description.

About Minecraft mods

What is a Minecraft mod?

A mod changes the game itself. It needs a loader, it runs on the client or the server or both, and it only works on the exact Minecraft versions its author built it for.

How do I find mods that work on my Minecraft version?

Use the Minecraft version filter at the top of the page, and the loader filter beside it. Everything listed under a version declares support for it, so you get the list that will actually load rather than everything that happens to mention the version somewhere in its description.

Where do the downloads come from?

Every mod links to its author's own release. MCReference is a reference to what exists and where the official download is; nothing here is mirrored, re-hosted or repackaged.

Which loader do mods need?

Mods need a loader such as Fabric, NeoForge, Forge and Quilt. Install the loader first, then the mod, and make sure both are built for the same Minecraft version.
