So if you install a mod and break your game, you’re on your own. Mods are not made by the the company that owns Minecraft and consequently are unsupported by them. For instance, there’s a mod called TrainCraft which adds engines and tracks so that you can build trains. I had no idea what he was talking about so I looked it up and have since added some to his game.Ī Minecraft mod is an add-on for the game which you can download and that adds extra features and functionality. A few weeks ago he started asking for Minecraft mods. He knows everything there is to know about the game, he has Minecraft toys, Minecraft books, he plays the game at school, and if we let him, he’d be at the computer all day and night 7 days a week.
