TerraFirmaCraft is one of the most interesting mods out there. It changes vanilla survival in almost every way. Resource gathering and progression are different, as players will need to work their way through a brand new tech tree, all while battling hostile weather conditions, balancing food nutrition, and preparing for winter.

There are few mods able to make the game feel as brand new and fresh as TerraFirmaCraft, which will make that first playthrough an unforgettable experience.

7) Cave Dweller

The Cave Deweller is the original Minecraft horror mod and has spawned countless spinoffs, for good reason. This mod is simple: it adds a hostile mob to the game, called the cave dweller, which can be found underground. This mob will chase players down and is able to crouch. It will even crawl through tight spaces incredibly quickly to attack players.

Constantly being on edge while caving, even while wearing diamond gear, is incredibly reminiscent of what it's like to play Minecraft for the first time. This fresh experience is unlike anything else that mods can offer players.
