What is the Most Downloaded Minecraft Mod of ALL TIME?

Minecraft is the most modded game in the world with a rich history dating back over a decade a handful of mods have managed to become so well known that they are household names racking up more downloads than most games ever get but have you ever wondered what the most

Downloaded Minecraft mods of all time are and exactly how many downloads do they have well to figure that out we have to go all the way back to 2011. in mid-2011 a post would be made to the Minecraft forums by a player named Rey fnsk Rey’s minimap was one of the first

If not the very first minimap mod for Minecraft adding a feature common to many other games the mini map displayed players mobs coordinates you could enable death points markers and waypoints you could Mark important areas while also allowing for different render types such as cave biome and more you

Could zoom in and see a larger version of the map and customize how the map looked it was very neat the mod would become immensely popular but unfortunately to its old age we don’t have reliable download statistics beyond the dodgy mod reupload site which mentions it has 45 million downloads

Even though it likely has many more voxel map would then release in 2012 and actually is the most downloaded mod of that time period on Planet Minecraft now with a total of over 2.2 million downloads however due to some age or drama with the mod being blacklisted

From servers due to the information it provided being advantageous the mod would receive a negative reputation being taken down by the original Mod Creator at one point before being re-uploaded later on and now has 13 million downloads on curse Forge before it was no longer updated in the meantime

Rey’s minimap had been officially discontinued and a new Contender 096 had just released his minimap Zero’s minimap what made Zero’s minimap unique from its predecessors was its ability to rotate it also had a bunch of additional useful features no other radar mod had implemented yet Zero’s mini-map mod

Would be the first minimap mod to truly stick around long term and now currently has over 54 million downloads on curse Forge and this still updated to this very day that all being said though there are still one major minimap mod that exceeded every other in fact this

Mod was also first released way back in 2011 and had been gradually gaining steam over time the journey map mod Journey map would eventually become extremely popular with this detailed radar world map and easy to use Waypoint features it could do a lot of other stuff as well and even early on allows

You to load your Minecraft world map in your browser which was very unique for the time but I’m not here to do a 2012 Minecraft mod review let’s talk about its downloads as of this video Journey map is the second most downloaded Minecraft modern curse Forge of all time with over

168 million downloads and is one of the oldest mods on curse for which still regularly updated to the newest version of the game but is it the most downloaded Minecraft mod of all time well actually a few months prior to Rey’s minimap entering the world of

Minecraft on January the 24th 20 11 a post was made to the Minecraft forums by a user named margliff announcing a mod named too many items too many items or TMI for short was an inventory editor mod that had a functional in-game’s UI unlike the previous inventory editors

Which would edit Minecraft save data externally it was instantly a hit with players loving its easy and quick to use nature plus its additional features like changing game mode time and subscribing to the Mr Epic with a press of a button to help him get to 600k Subs no pressure

Of course without the need to type a command too many items allowed you to save inventory loadouts a feature which would actually be implemented into vanilla Minecraft years later and allowed you to get non-vanilla items very easily while also being compatible with many other mods too many items

Became famous throughout 2011 to 2014 with the original thread having over 700 pages of responses and was visible in almost every YouTuber’s videos from the time but unfortunately due to its age and with many different sources to download it from it’s impossible to know just how many times it was downloaded

However throughout 2014 too many items would eventually stop receiving updates never making it past 1.8 and margliff would seemingly fade from the internet fortunately though at the time another similar mod was growing in popularity not enough items not enough items was very similar to too many items if you

Couldn’t tell by the name and due to its almost identical functionality would be adopted by the community very quickly especially useful in mod packs for its crafting recipe feature the pre 1.9 version of not enough items has 31.6 million downloads on curse Forge with the 1.7.10 version specifically being

Downloaded over 21 million times the 1.92 1.12 version has 15.4 million downloads therefore when combined not enough items has at least 47 million downloads for reference that’s about the same number of downloads as there is Minecraft Java accounts but such a number would be blown out of the water

Still 1.13 would see a massive change to Minecraft’s code meaning many popular mods needed fire rewrites in order to function not enough items would never see the light of day past 1.12.2 however just enough items would take its place with 90 of the mod’s original functions being almost identical to its ancestor

Released over 12 years ago now just enough items would seemingly be the final successor to the world famous Minecraft mod supporting all versions from 1.8 to 1.19 just enough items is the most downloaded mod on curse Forge to date with over 222 million downloads as of this video and this number is only

Rapidly growing combining the downloads of all the enough items mods would likely be a number well over 350 million potentially making it the most downloaded Minecraft mod of all time or is it well to find out let’s go through curse forge’s official list of most downloaded Minecraft mods the mouse

Tweaks mod was originally released by Yota in 2013 a simple but useful mod with over 162 million downloads designed to allow for some additional convenience features when moving items around your inventory and other guis the mod creator also likes to have a bit of fun with

Some not so nice users on curse Forge which I thought was quite amusing now this is a common trend on curse Forge many of the top mods that aren’t just libraries or dependencies other mods require are what’s known as utility mods offering smaller more quality of life-based changes rather than full

Content so let’s speed through some of these top mods then apple skin is the fifth most downloaded mod on curse Forge and allows you to see how much saturation and hunger bars Minecraft food would heal while also giving you a visualization of so the mod currently has over 138 million downloads storage

Drawers is another mod which adds a variety of new storage blocks to the game that are not only aesthetic but also entirely functional the mod currently has over 135 million downloads controlling is a mod with over 133 million downloads that lets you search for key bindings using their name in the

Keybinds menu then there’s tinker’s construct a mod which originally released back in 2014 which is actually relatively complex compared to the utility mods we just mentioned tinker’s construct is centered around putting tools together and modifying them in many ways and in doing so has added a variety of new blocks mobs and materials

To Minecraft I won’t go into a lot of detail but tinker’s construct proved to be a very successful mod especially considering that it added a lot of non-vanilla content rather than being a mostly vanilla utility mod and as of this video has racked up over 132 million downloads there’s a variety of

Other small utility mods that make up the rest of the top 10 on curse Forge as well including the iron chess mod with 130 million downloads the Chisel mod which adds a variety of decorative blocks to the game with over 124 million downloads and baubles an add-on mod

Adding a few new inventory slots which are utilized by other mods with over 113 million downloads but then we start to run into some extremely popular content mods of which you certainly may have heard of before applied energistics 2 is an extremely detailed mod of which the

First tutorial I found of it was over 50 minutes long from what I could gather applied energistics is a technical mod adding electrical tools Advanced storage crafting and automation to the game the mod became popular as it was useful for Mass item storage in large mod packs considering the mod’s relative

Complexity compared to the other top mods as well as its unique content it’s extremely impressive that has managed to accumulate over 109 million downloads total on curse Forge if we skip a bit further down the list past a few libraries and utility mods on curse Forge will arrive at a mod named Quark

Proclaimed as a unique fully modular Minecraft mod aimed at improving the game spark is a mod which adds a lot of vanilla plus features of which can all be toggled on and off at will some of the more notable features of this mod are a special version of Hoppers which

Precisely drop items straight down a feeding trough which allows mobs to automatically eat and thus breed a variety of industrial blocks such as additional brick types and their accompanying sub-blocks as well as my favorite the Japanese style paper blocks and lanterns the mod also has a variety of GUI based improvements providing

Quality of life changes and additional information screenshot improvements some additional mobs like crabs with their own useful mob drops some additional weapons like the pikarang which is actually really fun to use tweaks to the world like campfires boosting elytres and finally some new structures like nether obsidian spikes now that was just

A very brief overview of the mods features as it has a lot more to offer Quark has been referred to as the ultimate vanilla plus mod and its popularity certainly reflects that being downloaded over 106 million times as of this video immersive engineering is a realism-inspired technology mod that has

Unique industrial-like features the mod has a focus on electricity adding new ores to the game as well as a variety of new craftable structures the mod visually looks very nice with the animations for structures like the windmill being very smooth it currently has over 106 million downloads there is

Another similar mod which had an even greater influence as well the thermal foundations mod is the foundation of a series of mods in the thermal series the thermal foundations mod adds the foundation oars materials metals and fluids that are used by the series other themed mods each of these mods expands

On one specific feature for example the thermal cultivation mod expands on Farming and Agriculture and each has tens of millions of downloads by themselves with the foundation mod having over 104 million downloads alone combining the series of Mods together would result in a figure well at over 300 million downloads total we’re going

To slightly skip down the list again to another very famous mod biomes or plenty before we had Minecraft caves and cliffs and the unique terrain and biomes that came with it we had bioms the plenty but becoming a staple of many mod packs and modded servers by himself plenty adds a

Large selection of additional biomes to the game containing new blocks that are related to the biome bioms are plenty for the longest time was the go-to terrain modification and by mod currently sitting at over 95 million downloads as of this video and not too far below it is another large and

Incredibly influential content mod the twilight forest mod the Twilight Forest adds an entire new dimension to The Game featuring dungeons bosses Treasures new items and loot and so much more entering the unnerving Twilight Dimension is sure to be a unique and enjoyable experience that truly is well designed and really

Makes the dimension feel alive and scary the twilight forest mod currently has over 87 million downloads extremely impressive for such a significant content mod there are many other unique content mods you can find as we continue down this list from Pam’s Harvest craft with over 84 million downloads to

Bibliocraft with over 83 million downloads but I’m sure you’ve had enough of that now and want to know what the most downloaded Minecraft mod in history is you see there is still one Minecraft mod which exceeds everything we’ve talked about in this video today one Minecraft mod which became so essential

For millions of players around the world that they could not even play the game without it one mod with a rich history dating back as early as 2011 and the massive following online the OptiFine mod is the most downloaded Minecraft mod in history now unfortunately since the

Mod is not hosted on curse Forge but rather than what Creator sp614x’s website we don’t have public download information and although I tried reaching out to sp614x to ask if you could give me an idea of just how many times OptiFine has been downloaded I didn’t get any response however

Considering that the mod had people waiting every day for it to be updated back when Minecraft 1.13 released so they could actually play Minecraft has its own Twitter account with 150 000 followers that actually got verified by Twitter themselves a subreddit with 55 000 members and at one stage was even

Going to be implemented into Minecraft itself and two disagreements between sp614x and Mojang is extremely likely that OptiFine is the most downloaded most famous and most influential Minecraft mod of all time likely having a download count in the 500 million plus range I know I’ve probably downloaded at

Least 50 different versions of OptiFine throughout the time I’ve played Minecraft and I’m sure many others have downloaded it just as much I even made a full video about the mods history here if you’d like that about wraps it up for the most popular Minecraft mods of all
