Minecraft has a lot of mods, but they are primarily associated with the title's Java Edition. However, this game's Bedrock version also has its own extensions, as well as some that work with both editions. These tools are highly capable and can do anything from making subtle changes to the game to completely overwriting its original purpose.
From mods that allow you to add structures to ones that let you play as a mob, here are the best Minecraft mods to try that are compatible with Bedrock.

Best Minecraft Bedrock mods
15) More Simple Structures
If Minecraft fans feel like their game world is a bit too sparsely populated with structures, then More Simple Structures may be the remedy. This mod introduces dozens of new generated structures throughout the game world, but that’s only the beginning. More Simple Structures also adds new mobs, foods, items, blocks, and crafting recipes as well.
From blackstone ships navigated by piglins in the Nether to flying castles in the Overworld, the immense amount of new content added in this single mod is astonishing and goes well beyond the structures listed in its titles.
14) Furnicraft
While Minecraft players do a great job creating custom furniture with the blocks provided to them in vanilla, mods like Furnicraft create furniture that simply blow away anything that can be expected to be made in the base game. Regardless of whether players are decorating their homes’ or bases’ interiors or exteriors, Furnicraft has the perfect piece to make the build complete.
Furnicraft adds over 500 distinct furniture pieces to the game that can be crafted from the Furnicraft Bench. The pieces can even be rotated for perfect block placement needs, and some additions come with their own animations to bring a backyard or bedroom to life.
13) True Survival - Zombie Apocalypse
If Minecraft fans are a bit tired of traditional zombies, then this mod can make things much more interesting. True Survival - Zombie Apocalypse converts the sandbox game into a bleak and dying world that can be comparable to many zombie survival multiplayer servers. Players will have to mow down hordes of the undead with modern weaponry or risk becoming lunch.
Fortunately, not all hope is lost, as players can raise a child with immunity to the zombie virus. It’s a difficult task that can attract the infected, but if players are successful, they can save what’s left of the world from the shambling and ravenous zombies that threaten to ruin it.
12) Mutant Creatures
There’s no denying that Minecraft fans are pretty used to battling the game’s hostile mobs at this point. They develop strategies that can take care of these baddies time and time again without much stress. Mutant Creatures ups the ante by creating mutated forms of existing hostile mobs that are much more deadly and resilient than their original counterparts.
From Spider Pigs to hulking Mutant Pigmen and Endolotls, Mutant Creatures makes survival a much more difficult process while keeping to the base aesthetic roots of Minecraft and not breaking immersion.
11) Realight
Although Minecraft’s light source blocks work fine in vanilla, they only produce light when placed. Fortunately, by using a mod like Realight, players can convert their light-producing blocks into dynamic light sources. This way, as long as the block is at least being held, fans can benefit from the light production.
In addition to traditional light source blocks, Realight adds light production for the like of sea pickle, crying obsidian, blaze rods, blue ice, lava buckets, and many more options.
10) Better Mob Animations
Although Minecraft has plenty of different mobs roaming the Overworld, Nether, and End, their animations could certainly stand to be improved a bit. By and large, mob animations can look a bit stiff. This isn’t the case when fans install Better Mob Animations, which creates believable and immersive animations for effectively every in-game mob.
Players can even customize the animations to simulate the presence of articulated joints for mobs that possess them, adding another layer of improvement to an already impressive mod.
9) Expansive Biomes
Minecraft has certainly added a ton of biomes over the years, but there’s always more work to be done on that front. Expansive Biomes helps further that progress by adding a ton of new biomes including volcanic tops to mountains, redwood forests, and lavender plains to name a very select few. But that’s only the beginning for this mod.
Thanks to the new materials provided by this mod, fans can expect to create new gear including grizzly pelt armor, vibranium weapons and tools, and more. Players can even find new mobs hanging out in the new biomes including the likes of scorpions, deer, raccoons, crocodiles, and the mysterious dwellers.
8) Strat’s Food Expansion
Although there are plenty of food sources available in Minecraft already, some are better than others, and the cooking feature remains a bit bare bones overall. No longer with Strat’s Food Expansion, which not only adds plenty of raw food items like tropical fruit, new vegetables, and more, but also adds great ways to prepare them into tasty dishes.
By using blocks like cooking bots, stoves, and more, players can pop open their recipe book and see what culinary delights they can whip up on a moment’s notice.
7) OriginsPE
Although Minecraft certainly has a few RPG elements of its own in vanilla, they can leave a lot to be desired. However, with the OriginsPE mod, players can create an origin for their character that augments their capabilities. Play as a standard human for a traditional gameplay experience, or choose to be a different lore-based race to gain interesting traits and skills to utilize in-game.
Furthermore, OriginsPE adds classes to the game like Farmer, Cook, Cleric, Archer, Beastmaster, Blacksmith, and more. These classes, as players may surmise, add additional traits and capabilities based on the class itself, giving players more customization and progression while keeping the core Minecraft experience intact.
6) Red's More Structures
A big complaint about Minecraft concerns its lack of structures, even if the ones in the game are worthy of admiration. Fortunately, that's where this mod comes into play. This spectacular Bedrock extension adds plenty of structures, so players will always have something to stare at and appreciate. Even Java players might be jealous of this add-on, as towers, pyramids, and more are all things this mod can introduce.
5) Origins
The Origins mod, whether it's for Bedrock or Java Edition, is one of the best and most interesting extensions out there. Some players have always wondered what it might be like to play as certain mobs. Fortunately, this is something Origins allows gamers to experience.
Whether it's a Phantom, an Allay, a fox, or an Elder Guardian, there are plenty of entities one can play as with this mod. This has long been one of the top extensions for Minecraft Java, and now there's a Bedrock Edition version available.
4) Held Light Sources
Ever thought it would be great if held torches emitted light? Clearly, they have light, so why can't they produce any when in hand? This is a bit of an oversight from Mojang, but it doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. That's where the Held Light Sources mod for Minecraft Bedrock Edition comes into play. Torches and many other light-emitting items can now glow when held in hand, which can make them a lot more useful.
3) Pixelmon Bedrock
Minecraft is an extremely popular game, but so is the Pokemon franchise. Pixelmon mod and many others like it brings the two together. It is one of the best and most popular mods for Bedrock out there because of that. It allows gamers to battle each other using Pokemon, engage in trades, and more. This mod completely changes the gameplay by combining two incredible, unique gaming experiences into one. With this mod, Bedrock users can finally "catch 'em all."
2) Total Carnage
Many mods completely change the game. They add things that would never even be considered by Mojang to include in a future update. Total Carnage is one such offering. It's very different but makes for really fun gameplay. On CurseForge, this is how this mod is described:
"Total Carnage is a mod that adds 200 monsters, more than 800 items, and more than 500 blocks. The monsters range from weak to downright destructive as some mobs have modular behaviors. Keep in mind that some items that the monsters drop are currently useless and might have a purpose in the future. This is an addon that was developed over the course of 3 years and I hope that this addon can live up to the long wait."
Bedrock gamers can do a lot worse than this unique mod.
1) Raiyon's More Enchantments
Enchantments are pretty scarce in Bedrock. There aren't that many, and a lot of them cross over with other items. Enchanting is one of the most helpful and fun aspects of the game, but many consider it to be lacking. This mod fixes that problem.
This tool, as its name suggests, adds a lot more enchantments to the game. TreeCapitator for axes, Slime Feets for a pair of boots, Health Boost for chest plates, Sculk Eyes on helmets, and so much more are now available.
