Nowadays, Minecraft has the option to accompany its base or “vanilla” version with shaders and resource packs, which make the game look realistic and add features like screen space reflections, motion blur, and anti-aliasing.
Mods are one of the foremost add-ons to Minecraft, which literally “modify” the game and add new features, mobs, or mechanics. However, many players, especially Minecraft veterans, still prefer the vanilla version of Minecraft. Listed below are a few mods that improve upon some vanilla features in Minecraft.
Top 5 mods that improve vanilla Minecraft's features
5) Double Slabs
This mod is a simple and convenient mod for Minecraft. It brings some much-needed improvements to slabs in the game. Using this mod, players can place and remove individual slabs without them fusing together to make an entire block. Additionally, players can place different types of slabs on each other.
