Progressive Bosses is one of those mods that should already be implemented into Minecraft.

This mod works to make boss mobs increasingly harder for players to defeat while making the prizes players receive for beating them increasingly better. There are so many reasons why this should be a mod that players should get in their game, but the main one is to help the player improve at the most basic aspect of Minecraft's game structure: fighting.

Battling mobs is a day-to-day occurrence in Minecraft, so why shouldn't they improve and get harder to defeat while players progress in the game and get better equipment?

Druidcraft is an amazing mod for Minecraft 1.16 that allows players to dabble in the druidic lifestyle. It adds a ton of new blocks that vary from decorative to usable equipment. Quite a few blocks are naturally generating, too, like the different types of trees this mod brings to the game.

Four new ores are incorporated into the landscape for players to collect and turn into all sorts of tools and armor. In addition to ores, there are new rope blocks that players can climb and use for decorative purposes.

For a newly made mod for Minecraft, the developers did a great job creating a varied group of items and materials to keep players busy for days.
