PwrDown – Top 30 New Mods Released for Minecraft 1.16.5 on Forge & Fabric This Week!

Hey guys, today we’re going to take a look at some mods which were released over the past week for Forge and Fabric on Minecraft 1.16.5. There were a few good mods this week, and you can find the links to all of the mods I’m about to showcase in the description below.

Modern Life adds a lot of new random content, like the Bicycle which you can actually ride. With the Easel and Canvas, you can actually draw with your mouse, and display the Canvas in your world, or you can take pictures with a Digital Cameras and print them off using

A Printer. You can walk around with a flashlight to light the path in front of you, or even use a Chainsaw to cut down multiple logs at once. Some other useful items include Refrigerators which can convert Water into Ice, Microwaves and Stoves for cooking foods and the Metal

Grate which allows fluids to flow through, but not players. It’s a really cool mod overall, and offers so much more. Betterlands aims to improve on the Badlands, which starts by adding the Juniper Tree, which can be turned into some new planks and blocks. They’ll occasionally grow Berries, which

Can be collected and even turned into gin. The new Fossil Rocks that you find can be mined with a Pickaxe to give Bones. The mod also adds quite a lot of new decorative blocks, as you’ll be able to craft new Terracotta Pavements, Roof Tiles and Bricks. A new mob

Is the Bighorn Sheep, which drops meat, as well as Bighorn Hide and Large Horns. The Hides can be turned into a set of Bighorn Hide Armor, which offers the same defense and durability as Leather. Worlds with Ores allows you to create new portals from resource blocks. They need to

Be ignited with a new tool, and when you go inside, you’ll find that the Stone Blocks have been replaced with the same types of ores the portal frame was made from. So you might find this mod a little overpowered, but it could be fun to play with anyway. You

Can enter dimensions that are filled with Coal, Iron, Gold, Redstone, Lapis, Emerald and Diamond Ores. No More Nether removes the requirement to go to the Nether. With this mod installed, you’ll find new structures spawning throughout your Deserts, which are large towers and spikes.

Inside them, you’ll find a lot of Nether themed blocks, as well as mobs like Blazes and Magma Cubes. The Netherite Firework is a new item which can be crafted from a Nether Star, a Firework, two Blaze Powder, two Fire Charges and a Netherite Ingot. It’s useful for when you have an

Elytra, as when you right click while holding the Firework, you’ll be launched into the air, allowing you to start gliding. You can use the Firework over a thousand times before it will break, so you don’t have to worry about your materials being wasted on it.

Villager Employment will add lots of new costumes to Minecraft, which can mostly be obtained by searching Chests inside of Villages. You’ll find outfits for the likes of Armorers, Leather Workers, Librarians and Farmers. When you wear a costume, you’ll gain bonus experience

If they’re related, such as catching fish while wearing the Fisherman costume. You can only obtain the Wandering Trader costume by killing the trader instead. The Ghast Cow is a new mob which is quite hard to summon. To do so, you’ll need to

Bring a Cow into the Nether, and give it the name Ghast. For it to transform into the Ghast Cow, you’ll need to have a Ghast kill it. This mob acts like the Wither, being able to fly and launch explosions, and it’s also tough to defeat.

Bone Tools adds new items which can be crafted from Bones and Sticks. The Bone Sword gives the Weakness effect, and the Bone Axe gives a five percent chance to collect Apples from Logs. The Bone Shovel will give a one percent chance to receive Coarse Dirt instead of regular

Dirt, and the Bone Pickaxe gives just a zero point five percent chance to gain minerals like Iron and Diamonds when mining through Stone. There’s also the Giant Bone weapon, which gives the knockback effect to hit targets. Spruce Mineshafts adds some new Mineshafts to your world, which there are currently two

Types of. They look a bit different to regular Mineshafts, and should make exploring underground a bit more interesting. Burger Mod adds six new Burgers to Minecraft, which are made from Beef, Pork and Mutton, with each one also having an additional Cheese option. Burgers also restore quite a bit of

Your hunger bar, and can be crafted from Bread, Eggs and Meat. You can also create Fried Eggs and Cheese, which can both be eaten to restore Hunger. TNT Ultra adds some new types of TNT. There’s one that is twice as strong as regular TNT,

And one which is four times as strong. There’s also Sponge variants, which will absorb Water and Lava before blowing up. Colds Steel currently adds over sixty new weapons to the game, which includes different Staffs, Swords, Sickles and Cleavers. You can obtain them by opening a Cold Steel Chest,

Which has a chance of giving you a Weapon, Ability Stones, Cold Steep XP Bottles or a Cold Steel Ingot. You can increase the level of your weapons by either killing mobs, or using the new XP bottles on them, and as you level them up, they’ll unlock new abilities

Which increase their effectiveness. Weapons will also have Sockets, allowing you to manually apply abilities of your choosing to them, so overall, you can expect this mod to give more of an RPG feeling to the game. Glass Crafter adds lots of new glass themed objects which are great for decorating with.

You’ll find new Windows, Doors and Trapdoors. There’s also Retro Glass, which looks like pre Minecraft 1.14 Glass Blocks. Ancient Structures adds some new structures to Desert Biomes, making them more interesting. When you head to a Desert, you can now find a new Temple, which contains the Desert Ring

Which gives increased movement speed for a short duration. The other structures are smaller, and include Towers and Ruins. The Kobolds are a new species who you can find living underground in their dens. If you bring Emeralds along, you can give them to the Kobolds to trade for items like Enchantments

Or new Kobold tools. Standard Kobolds can even be bred using Apples, and given an Axe to turn them into Warriors who’ll defend their base. Other variants include the Drowned and Zombie Kobolds. Felix Creatures adds some new mobs to your world which you’ll find naturally spawning

In different biomes. The new creatures include Snails, Rhinos, Lions, Piranhas and Penguins. Some animals will drop Hides, which can be turned into regular Leather or the Backpack. The Rhino and Snails both drop items which can be turned into new weapons, and some also drop food.

Chatta Chisel is a port of the Chisel mod, which allows you to create all new decoration blocks. You can craft either the Iron, Diamond or Netherite Chisel and right click it to open the interface. By inputting blocks like Cobblestone, Granite, Glowstone and Bricks, you can chisel them into all different designs.

Nether’s Exoticism starts by adding five new fruits which spawns in each biome of the Nether. They’ll give different effects when consumed, but fruits like the Kiwano can be used to create some new tools and a Sword. Fruits can also be placed into crates and turned into Jam.

Mallum is a magic mod, where you harvest spirits by shattering their souls. To get started with the mod, you’ll need to create the Crude Scythe, a tool which allows you to collect Spirits. The Spirits can then be infused at the Spirit Altar, where you can create new

Blocks, Rings, Ingots and Armor. There’s a lot more to the mod, and I’d recommend reading the in-game encyclopedia to get started. More Villagers adds some new types of Villagers which have different professions and trades depending on their level. There’s the Oceanographer, who trades items like Sponges, Sea Lanterns,

Heart of the Sea and Tridents. The Netherian trades Nether Blocks like Basalt, Quartz, Obsidian and Nether Fortress Maps. The Woodworker will mostly trade Logs, and will sell you Enchanted Axes and Hoes at the highest level. The Enderian will trade End

City Maps and even an elytra for sixty four Emeralds. The Engineer works with Redstone, offering items like Repeaters, Droppers, Dispensers and Sticky Pistons. Farmers Delight is now available for both Forge and Fabric, with the Fabric port being released this week. It’s an expansion to the farming and cooking system, adding lots

Of new foods like Pies, Stews, Cakes, Vegetables and Meats. You can use Knives to collect more resources, you’ll find crops growing wildly in your world and you can cook new foods in the Cooking Pot. It’s an expansive mod overall, with it also adding new Pantry Blocks and Crates.

Simply Improved Terrain aims to visually improve Minecrafts terrain while sticking to the Vanilla style. You won’t experience new biomes or huge mountains, but you should find that terrain is a lot smoother in general, and looks cleaner, as it tries to remove artificial looking features.

If a monster is nearby when you try to sleep, you normally won’t be allowed. This mod changes that, as it allows you to sleep if mobs are close, as long as they can’t target you. Isometric Renders allows you to render areas of your world easily using a new command.

You can render blocks, areas and even entities, and have full control over properties like the scale, rotation, angle and more. Whether you’re working on thumbnails or other graphics, this mod could be very useful. Moobloom’s and Mud adds the Moobloom to Fabric. There are three different colors,

With them spawning in Pink, Blue and Yellow, and they’ll leave a trail of flowers where they walk. Alongside the Moobloom is the Mud Block, which you’ll find spawning near rivers and lakes. You can hold shift to sink into it, giving you the camouflage effect, hiding you from hostile mobs.

Status Effect Timer is a quality of life mod, which displays a timer over the HUD elements in the corner of your screen where status effects are shown. That way, you can see how long an effect has left without having to check your inventory.

The Experience Point Bottler is a new block which can be crafted from five planks, a block of Emerald, two Gold Ingots and some Lapis. When you place it down, you can right click it with empty bottles, and retrieve Bottles of Enchanting back which are created from

Your own experience points. It allows you to explore without having to worry about losing all your levels. No Creeper Holes adds four new game rules, which are all disabled by default. They can be used to stop Creepers, Ghasts and Withers from causing explosion damage. There’s also

One for the Enderman, where you can prevent them from picking up blocks. Reaping Mod adds the Reaper tool, which can be crafted from four Diamonds and two Sticks. When you right click on an animal while holding it, you will harvest its meat, but instead

Of killing the animal, it will be turned into a baby instead. That’s it for this week’s list. It was definitely a lot better for Forge than Fabric, but hopefully next week we’ll see more variety. If you enjoyed the video, leave a like, and subscribe for more.
