One of the most significant updates in the history of Minecraft has been released by Mojang and has changed how Caves used to look for the past few years.

With many more changes made to the game than just the Caves, players are looking forward to creating new worlds in the latest version of the game. But there is a particular player base that is obsessed with messing around and tinkering with the looks of vanilla Minecraft.

Modders have now created tons of Minecraft mods, and they don't want to stop, nor do the players who play different mods every day want to quit playing them.

Unfortunately, the Bedrock edition does not support external mods because the bedrock edition is much harder to code for. Most bedrock players play on consoles like Xbox and PlayStation, which have no modding capabilities, but to compensate for not having support for mods, the Bedrock edition has its own type of mods known as add-ons.

There are countless mods available on the internet for the Java edition, and installing them is very straightforward. First, make sure that Java is installed properly on the computer to install mods on.
