One of the most popular themes of Minecraft mods is those that have a medieval theme to them. These mods typically play an ode to historic times and are enjoyable due to their rustic nature that fits in well with the style of Minecraft survival.

The Overlord Mod is a highly interesting concept that sets out to copy the popular Overlord games. In a nutshell, this mod essentially allows players to raise armies of skeletons to defend their base.
