Best Minecraft Mods of September 2018
TerraFirmaCraft
“Survival Mode as it should have been”, this mod so boastfully claims as its tagline. I mean, personally I thought survival mode was all well and dandy, but apparently there’s more that could be done, as TerraFirmaCraft endeavors to prove.
For one thing, the landscape is completely overhauled, and the sea level is raised to introduce different layers of aquatic terrain. In addition, you’ll advance through the various ages (Stone, Casting and Iron) as you head out in hunt of rare ore and valuable resources. Bash stuff with rocks, then progress onto more impressive bashing tools.
About the only thing this mod doesn’t manage to construct is a compelling logo. Yeah, I went there.
Mega Map
Missing minuscule moments? Mega Map might make more… msense?
Truly one for the cartographers out there, should such an archaic career still exist, this mod will allow you to zoom your map out to incredible lengths, to the tune of a 1:32 scale. Whether or not you’ll find a practical use for it beyond directions to the bibliotheque is fairly debatable, but it sure is fun to look at all of the world right there in your grubby little hands. Makes you feel very small, and possibly suffer an existential crisis.
