Best Mods for Minecraft Bedrock Edition
There are various mods available ranging from quality-of-life changes to massive content additions. It’s difficult to pick a top 5, but this is exactly what I wanted to do for today.
Smelter’s Forge
Smelter’s Forge is a game changer for Minecraft. It focuses on upgrading the forge and giving it much more depth than vanilla Minecraft.
However, the mod doesn’t end there. There are over 50 new items from forge utilities to accessories that will take your blacksmithing station to the next level.
Handheld Torches
Handheld Torches is a quality of life mod that allows players to hold torches in their hands. These emit light as if placed.
This means that players only need to craft 1 torch before going mining, instead of having to make multiple stacks and spam them everywhere.
It just makes mining significantly easier and allows players to focus on mining per se, instead of constantly worrying about lighting up the place.
Zalcyan’s Quest
Zalcyan’s Quest makes Minecraft a completely new game. It adds 8 new unique biomes, each with its buildings, items, recipes, and enemies.
The creativity and imagination of Zalcyan’s Quest creator are truly mindblowing and you’ll be looking in awe at all the new additions.
If you want something different and overhauled from the default vanilla Minecraft, Zalcyan’s quest is your best bet.
Nether Plus
If you enjoy the nether biome, Nether Plus is an amazing mod to try. It adds over 20 new mobs to the nether biome, as well as various new consumables, items, and drops.
There are monsters like the Infernal Golem, which has 70(!) health and will make the nether far more dangerous than it already was.
If you’re looking for a challenge and to put your survival skills to the test in the Nether, Nether Plus is a great mod.
Expansive Biomes
In case you prefer exploring new biomes, Expansive Biomes is your best choice. With over 20 new biomes included, you’ll always have something to explore.
And of course, each biome comes with its distinct mobs (passive and aggressive), items, and recipes.
Exploring each biome will be a unique experience, especially since each of them is filled to the brim with content.
How to Add Mods in Minecraft Bedrock Edition
To import mods, visit mcpedl, download the mod of your choice, and then open the downloaded file while Minecraft Bedrock Edition is open.
With the mod imported, you can access it by going to Settings, then Global Resources, and find it in the My Packs tab.
To activate the mod on a world you’re playing, select’ Play’ from the main screen, click the ‘Edit’ option (pen symbol next to each world), navigate to Add-ons (bottom left), and enable resource and behavior packs.
Conclusion
To sum up, these are some of the best mods for Minecraft Bedrock Edition. From simple, quality-of-life mods, to some more advanced, game-changing additions, there’s something for everyone on this list.
