1) Cooking for Blockheads

Cooking does the job it needs to do in Minecraft, but it could be much better. This is what Cooking for Blockheads aims to achieve.

The mod implements multi-block kitchens, complete with appliances like ovens, sinks, and refrigerators. It also comes with a recipe book that can be upgraded and that provides players with all the cooking recipes they have access to.

Cooking for Blockheads can also be integrated with other crop and cooking mods, such as Pam's Harvescraft. This makes the mod great for improving the overall enjoyment of food and cooking within Minecraft.


2) Aquaculture 2

Fishing is somewhat lacking in Minecraft. There aren't too many different fish species in the game, and treasure items aren't always great.

Aquaculture 2 enhances the rewards players receive from fishing, making it a much more worthwhile activity. Furthermore, players are capable of customizing their fishing rod and bobber using the new tackle box block.

In addition to the dozens of new fish that players can acquire, they can even receive rare Neptunium, which can be crafted into weapons, tools, and armor.

3) MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod

Quite possibly one of Minecraft's most comprehensive furniture mods ever conceived, MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod adds a huge amount of furniture to the game.

Players can craft over 80 different pieces of furniture, many of which are fully functional instead of simply being decorative. Even better, the furniture's textures will be based on the player's current resource/texture pack. This makes them perfectly compatible with any texture customizations players may want to use.


4) Biomes O' Plenty

While Minecraft has a sizable number of biomes, there are ways to add even more through modifications.

One of the best means to do so is with the Biomes O' Plenty mod, which adds several biomes not only to the Overworld but the Nether as well.

Players can explore fields of lavender, autumnal pumpkin patches, and even visceral heaps and undergrowth biomes in the Nether. This improves the overall exploration experience for Minecraft players, well beyond what Mojang has accomplished with their vanilla biomes.

5) Waystones

There are many ways for players to transport themselves in Minecraft, from minecarts and horses to Elytra.

However, Waystones adds a new way to travel — through the use of fast travel-friendly landmarks. Players can teleport between constructed Waystones to find points of importance. The mod also provides scrolls for players to recall themselves to a Waystone and a rechargeable gem that allows them to teleport to established Waystones.

The Waystones mod can help players save a ton of time traveling, and it can even be implemented into multiplayer servers.


6) Nature's Compass

Since there are so many biomes in Minecraft, it can be tricky to find a specific one in a given world. Nature's Compass fixes this issue by adding a new compass item that allows players to check their current biome as well as search for a new one.

Once players have inputted the biome they're searching for, their Nature Compass will point them to the closest biome of the requested type. This can be a great way to find rarer biomes in the game if searching through sight isn't enough.

Though this may not be an ideal mod for Minecraft veterans, newer players will likely appreciate Enchantment Descriptions. This simple quality-of-life mod provides small tooltips for all in-game enchantments, describing how they work.

Regardless of whether players are enchanting through the enchanting table or through enchanted books, they will know what they're receiving from their enchantment.

With over 50 million downloads, this mod's capabilities speak for themselves.


8) AppleSkin

When playing Survival Mode, keeping oneself fed is imperative. Not only does it keep players from losing health, but staying well-fed encourages natural health regeneration.

Appleskin assists players with this aspect, as it shows them the potential health and hunger that their held food item will restore. This allows players to be more tactical with their food use, keeping them from eating more precious food sources if they don't need them.

9) Journeymap

Minecraft worlds are massive, making it easy for players to get lost on occasion. However, plenty of mods exist that help players find their way through the use of an improved map.

Journeymap is one of the best map mods out there, as it not only provides a minimap that updates in real-time, but players can also open their map in a web browser.

Journeymap's tracking includes real-time updates of any buildings or structures. Players can even mark points of interest on their map for later reference.


10) Just Enough Items

Minecraft has so many items and blocks available that it can be tough to keep track of them all. Furthermore, with so many crafting recipes in the game, remembering which materials are necessary can also be difficult.

Just Enough Items amends both these issues by providing a menu that not only memorizes crafting recipes but also allows players to filter and search for specific blocks and items.

It's a huge improvement over scanning a player's inventory and looking for specific crafting materials. This mod saves plenty of time.
