How to Find Modpacks with Certain Mods in Minecraft
Reviewed by Huzaifa Haroon- Modding enhances Minecraft by altering visuals, gameplay mechanics, and adding new content. Nexus Mods and Modpack Index are popular sites for finding mods and modpacks.
- Modpacks are bundles of mods curated to work well together, available on sites like Nexus Mods and Modpack Index, which offers specific search filters for finding modpacks with desired mods.
- Always back up your saves before modding to avoid data loss, and consider sharing your curated modpacks on Modpack Index to help the community.
Modding is the act of modifying the original game’s content intentionally to enhance the gameplay experience. This can involve visuals, gameplay mechanics, additional content, bug fixes, redesigns of cosmetic items, etc. Modding comes in all shapes and sizes and can be applied to nearly any aspect of the game.
Where Can I Find Mods?
There are many places where you can get mods. However, the most widely used and most reputable mod site has to be Nexus Mods. It has been around for more than 20 years and boasts active moderation and numerous sorting and filtering options to help you find the best mods to meet your game’s needs. Aside from Nexus Mods, you may find some mods on the game’s official forums or GameBanana.
Most mods are free, and modders create them at their own leisure. They usually have a donation page where they accept compensation for their hard work. Some mods, however, are completely paid and are usually found on Patreon.
Finding Modpacks with Certain Mods
If you’re looking to find a modpack with a specific mod diversity, Modpack Index will serve you better than Nexus Mods. Modpack Index is a site dedicated to modpacks for Minecraft. They have a catalog for modpacks and mods alike and for different app versions of Minecraft. In case you have one mod that you refuse to let go of, you can look up modpacks containing that mod.
Here’s how to search for your choice of modpacks on Modpack Index:
- Open up Modpack Index. Choose the Pack Finder option from the top menu.
Choose “Pack Finder” - Once the Pack Finder menu appears, start by choosing your Minecraft version by clicking on the drop-down.
Choose your Minecraft app version - Next, select the desired categories for the modpack by typing in the desired option. This refers to the kind of modpack you’re looking for, e.g., exploration, combat, etc.
Choose your desired categories - Then, enter the name(s) of the mod(s) you would like to see in the modpack.
Enter the name(s) of the mod(s) that you would like to be included in the modpacks - Similarly, you can also enter the name(s) of any mod(s) you don’t want to see in the pack.
Enter the name(s) of any mod(s) you don’t want to see in the modpacks - Lastly, enter the minimum and maximum number of mods you’d like to see in the modpack. If you want, you can also set an amount for the minimum and maximum number of times the modpack has been downloaded.
Enter the required amounts - Finally, click on Search to see if Modpack Index has any modpacks suiting your needs.
Click on “Search” - You can scroll down and see the results of your search.
You will be able to see your search results in a matter of seconds
Unfortunately, if you are not able to find a modpack to suit your needs, you’ll just have to download all your desired mods individually. If you do, consider uploading them on the Modpack Index. Maybe someone will appreciate your taste in mods. But don’t forget to give credit to all those amazing modders who do all that hard work for us.
Make sure to keep backups of your saves and world, as modding can be risky in any game. That’s all from our side, and we hope this helps you find the best possible mods.
