Top 15 Best Minecraft 1.12 Mods

Best Minecraft 1.12 Mods

Minecraft 1.12 for the PC has a thriving modding community, and many consider some mods absolutely essential. Whether you want a recipe book for all of your favorite Minecraft 1.12 meals, or something to help you with crafting, there are tons of Minecraft 1.12 mods out there for you. Check out the best Minecraft 1.12 Mods.

Journeymap is one of the oldest mods out there, but it’s still considered by many as essential. What it does is simple – it generates a map as you travel, viewable by you via either an in-game map interface or a browser window. It has two modes, Fairplay and Unlimited. Fairplay mode disables cave mapping and radar in multiplayer, but with unlimited, everything is allowed.

Next up is another of possibly one of the most necessary mods any Minecraft 1.12 pro will use. JEI is an inventory manager and recipe viewer that lets you see the recipe of any item at all just by opening your inventory. If you’re in creative mode, it also lets you spawn in the item really easily too, in a more efficient way than the base creative mode allows. This mod is truly essential for anyone who’s played Minecraft for a significant amount of time.

Draconic Evolution adds a ton of endgame-level items to your Minecraft in order to spice up your gameplay once you’re reaching the end of the base game. It begins simply – you need to find Draconic Ore, but it ends up enabling you to make huge structures for teleportation, mob farming, time and weather manipulation, and so much more. This mod is a really cool addition to Minecraft 1.12, so check it out.

Have you ever wanted to make your Minecraft experience more realistic? Immersive Engineering does just that, by adding a number of new features and technologies into the game. Essentially, the mod adds loads of new methods of power generation and ways to get higher and better yields for your items. You can set up massive waterwheels, windmills, bio-diesel and more – and set up massive multi-block structures that allow you to up your mining and crafting ante. It’s also compatible with mods like Buildcraft, and is a staple in many of the larger modpacks – but unfortunately many of these aren’t available for 1.12 yet.

If you’re not into machinery so much, and farming’s more your thing, Pam’s Harvestcraft is a must-download for Minecraft 1.12. It introduces tons of new ways to make use of the land around you agriculturally – 60 new crops, beekeeping, markets, and so much more. It also adds a few quality-of-life changes to base-game farming which, once you get used to, you’ll never want to go back.

RFTools is essentially a way for you to ease day-to-day life in Minecraft, especially for those of you who know your way around redstone usage. It’s meant to be included with other mods like Thermal Expansion, but that isn’t quite available in Minecraft 1.12 yet – worry not, though! This mod still has some great stuff you can use without anything else. The coolest part about this mod, aside from all of the other stuff you can make like automatic crafters, is probably teleporters – enabling you to quickly teleport around your home, making you feel like a Star Trek character.
In order to use this mod, you’ll also need another primer mod, which is linked below. This mod also enables you to do something even cooler in another mod, which we’ll get to very soon…

Ender Storage is a really simple mod that makes a huge difference to how you play Minecraft 1.12. Essentially, what it does is allows you to make special storage items that are linked to each other, even across dimensions, based on their color. It’s not just chests, either – you can make pouches that are directly linked to your chests at home, allowing you to bring much more, and feel much safer, when you go spelunking. There are EnderTanks, too, which stores liquids created from other mods, letting you have access to almost unlimited quantities of whatever liquid you want. This Minecraft 1.12 mod has been around for quite a while now, and is still one of the most popular in the modding community – and for good reason.

Steve’s Carts Reborn is a remake of an old favorite mod – Steve’s Carts. This Minecraft 1.12 mod allows players to automate their lives in the most Minecraft-esque fashion possible – with Minecarts. It lets you assemble carts from scratch that have loads of different types of functions – from power, to harvesting, to mining. If you’re looking for ways of automation that don’t involve all the complex machinery that mods like IndustrialCraft brings, then Steve’s Carts Reborn was practically made for you. It needs another mod to enable it to get up and running, though – Reborn Core, which essentially allows this and a few other mods to work with your version of Minecraft. It’s easy to install, and will only take a few extra moments to sort out.

Another extremely simple mod here, but one that does wonders for automation, if you don’t want to have all the complicated machinery mods out there. Even then, this mod works fantastically with those – Hopper Ducts adds two simple items into the game: hopper ducts and grated ducts. They are both modifications of normal hoppers, allowing you to transport items in any direction, instead of being restricted only to left, right, and down. Grated ducts allow you to filter the process, so only certain items can move through one direction of the duct, allowing you to easily move things to the place you intend without it being too complicated. It’s an incredibly simple Minecraft 1.12 mod, but the effect it has is tremendous.

Actually Additions adds loads of new items to Minecraft 1.12 which, once you begin playing, will make you wonder how you ever played without them. At the core of everything here is a new ore, black quartz, which lets you craft a number of the new things in the mod. Aside from this, there’s loads of new automation options and smaller quality-of-life changes, like lamps, tiny coal, and storage crates. Power is a big function of this mod, like with IndustrialCraft 2, so you’ll want to make the decision on which to pick based on the stuff you like in each mod. There’s so much stuff in Actually Additions that it’s impossible to talk about them all, but you can check all the stuff out by heading below.
