Hey!
I'm planning to get back into Minecraft modding, this time for Minecraft 26.3 on Fabric, but I'm still trying to figure out what I should actually make.
I don't really want to start working on a random idea just because it sounds cool. I'd rather make something that people would actually want to use, whether it's a small mod that fixes an annoying issue or something much bigger that adds new mechanics and gives players more things to do.
So I figured I'd ask here.
Is there anything you've wanted a Minecraft mod to do, but haven't found a good mod for yet? Maybe there's a vanilla mechanic that bothers you, a feature you think Minecraft is missing, or something that other mods have tried to implement but never quite got right.
And it doesn't necessarily have to be an improvement to something that already exists. I'm also interested in bigger ideas: new gameplay mechanics, complex systems, or mods that could offer a whole new experience. If there's a good reason to make something ambitious, I'm not against taking on a larger project.
Some examples of the kinds of things I'm talking about:
- Quality of life: Little things that make the game less frustrating or more convenient to play.
- Vanilla improvements: Reworking existing mechanics that feel underdeveloped, repetitive, or just not very fun.
- New features: Things you wish were part of the base game, or mechanics you think would fit Minecraft really well.
- Expansions to existing gameplay: More depth for exploration, combat, survival, building, automation, or whatever else interests you.
- Larger projects: New systems, interconnected mechanics, or something that could significantly change how you play the game.
These are just examples, though. I'm not trying to limit the suggestions to any particular category.
One thing I'd ask is that, if you have an idea, please explain it a bit instead of just dropping a name or a one-line suggestion. What would the mod actually do? Why would you want to use it? And if similar mods already exist, what do you think they get wrong or what would you like to see done differently?
You don't need to write an entire design document, obviously. I'm just interested in understanding the idea and the reason behind it.
I haven't decided on anything yet, so I can't promise I'll make a particular suggestion. I'll need to look into existing mods and see what's already out there before choosing a direction.
Anyway, I'd love to hear what you think. What kind of mod do you feel Minecraft is missing, or what would you personally like to see someone make?
