This is a mod for those who love wildlife! With over 100 new animals, Zoo & Wild Animals Rebuilt: ZAWA aims to add tons of real life animals into Minecraft! A downside though is that not all of them are super unique or useful, but mostly for aesthetic purposes to help make the game feel alive. If that’s what you’re into, then this is the mod for you!

A review/showcase of the mod.

Mystical World is a fairly simple mod, adding a handful of new mobs alongside a dozen other features. The main attraction here though are the new mobs, which are all interesting in their own right, and different from lots of the other mobs on this list!

Along with new mobs, this mod also has other fun features that complete it and make it enjoyable!

This is a mod for those who crave combat and adventure! Lycanites Mobs adds over 100 new mobs into the game, that’s right, over 100! However, this means that some get overshadowed by others, and it’s hard to keep track of so many. Especially since all of them are hostile, but it’s still an expansive mod with tons of content regardless!
With tons of crazy and frightening mobs, this mod made my Minecraft experience a lot more fun and challenging!

Inferno mobs are found in fire and lava, and boast some strong firepower!
Wargs are deadly predators, but can be tamed and ridden around just like horses!

4. Primitive Mobs

The rare treasure slime

See this mod on YouTube:

A review/showcase of the mod.

While lots of mods focus on adding real life animals or crazy fantastical monsters, Primitive Mobs has a different goal. Primitive Mobs adds 25 new mobs into the game that all aim to capture the classic Minecraft feel, not too overbearing, but also not too underwhelming. All of the mobs are unique in their own way, so I highly suggest that you check this one out!
While going for that original Minecraft feel, Primitive Mobs succeeds for sure, bringing lots of new fun along with it!

Spider families bring a more scary feeling along with them, getting attacked by groups of spiders is just gross!
Treasure Slimes carry around items inside them, making for a cool way to acquire rare gear for yourself!
