Minecraft was originally designed to let other people modify it.

Its hacks for Minecrafters are designed for players ages 7-12, but Minecrafters of every age will enjoy it and find it useful.
This adventuring series is ideal for fans of the classic good vs. evil fight, magical schools like Hogwarts, and games like Pokemon GO, Minecraft, and Terraria. With adding mods, Minecrafters can make their own adventures within Minecraft. Mods add content to the game that can change gameplay. This gives the players more options for how they play in the world of Minecraft. This Minecraft mods book can guide readers to adding new mechanics, mobs, and quests to their games as well as entirely new dimensions to play in. The rules of your gaming world can be changed with each and every mod you add!
This book is a great gift for any Minecraft lover in your life. It is one of several Megan Miller Minecraft books. Anyone interested in Minecraft mods will use this hacks for Minecrafters book.

Hacks for Minecrafters - Megan Miller
CHAPTER 1
ALL ABOUT MODS
Welcome to the mad, magical, and high-tech world of modded Minecraft. Modded Minecraft isn’t a single game, it’s Minecraft modified with the mods you want to play with. You can play with one or a couple of mods, a dozen mods, or a modpack that comes ready with a preset selection of mods.
What Are Mods?
Mod
is short for modification,
and mods are game programming objects that change the way a game behaves. In Minecraft, mods can change how you farm, how you fight, how you mine, and how (and what) you craft, and more. Some mods are simple and change just one small part of the game. For example, JourneyMap adds a very handy mapping system to Minecraft. Other mods change major aspects of Minecraft. The magical mod Thaumcraft creates a unique type of sorcery, with spells, wands, magic energy, and magical mobs for you to play with. Some more examples are:
• Simply Jetpacks lets you craft powered jetpacks to fly around in your world. (This is probably my favorite mod—there’s nothing better than flying!)
• The Twilight Forest creates an entirely new dimension you can visit by traveling through a special portal. The Twilight Forest dimension has new animals, mobs, boss mobs, dungeons, and more to explore.
• The Extra Utilities adds a bunch of interesting and useful items, tools, and blocks, like conveyer belts, to help move captured mobs or items around, and a bunch of power generators for early game power.
The Twilight Forest mod adds an entirely new dimension to explore, with new boss mobs, biomes, and more.
Mods are made for the PC version of Minecraft, and there are several places you can find them:
• Planet Minecraft (PMC) at planetminecraft.com/resources/mods/
• The Minecraft Forum at minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods
• Curse at curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft
• Mod authors’ websites
What Are Modpacks?
Modpacks are collections of mods that are carefully selected to work together, both in balanced gameplay and in technical compatibility. Modpacks are the easiest way to get started playing with mods, because they are easy to download and install. Some modpacks come with a questing system that gives you challenges to accomplish and sometimes rewards when you complete them. Some modpacks have an overall theme or storyline. In the Crash Landing modpack, you are stranded on an unknown planet with a dying spaceship and must battle a very harsh desert environment.
In the classic Crash Landing modpack, you are stranded on a dusty planet and must struggle to survive against a harsh, dry landscape.
You can find and install modpacks using modpack launchers. The most popular modpack launchers are:
• Feed the Beast (FTB) launcher. The Feed the Beast team has produced and gathered a large set of modpacks, along with a launcher, which you can find at their site feed-the-beast.com.
• Curse launcher. The gaming network site has also created a launcher, Curse for Minecrafters, that incorporates Feed the Beast modpacks and others, which you can find at beta.cursevoice.com/games/minecraft. (This launcher is also used for Curse’s voice chat application.)
• AT Launcher, available at atlauncher.com.
• Technic Launcher, available at technicpack.net.
Modpack launchers, like the Curse launcher, make installing modpacks easy.
This book will look at some of the most popular mods and modpacks available and show you how to download them. I’ll also show how to get started playing with modpacks. Many of these mods offer so much gameplay, however, that it is likely you’ll want even more information on them. In general, you can visit several websites to get more information on how to play. Visit the Curse Minecraft mods site (curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft), the Minecraft Forum (minecraftforum.net). The FTB wiki (ftbwiki.org) and forums (feed-the-beast.com/forum/) also are a great source of information about many mods. Many mods have deeper explanations at their own wiki sites. You can also visit my website at meganfmiller.com for links to these sites and helpful YouTube videos that look at how to play with these mods.
Warning: Mods can change the original Minecraft programming code and you have to be very careful backing up your worlds and installing them. Mods are unsupported by Mojang, the game developers. Even though Mojang has made Minecraft so that it can be modded, if you run into a problem, Mojang can’t help you. You’ll have to rely on the community of modders and players to help you through technical and gameplay problems.
BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING AND PLAYING WITH MODS, THERE ARE SOME CONCEPTS YOU SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH:
Minecraft Versions
Mods are always a little behind vanilla Minecraft. (Vanilla Minecraft is the
