In Minecraft, mods are a way to modify (literally) the game using customized items and functions. Mods can be used to change the way Minecraft looks and feels. New items, blocks, and even mobs can be added via mods, which make for a refreshing change of pace and increase the game’s playability. Additionally, skins can be applied to players’ character models to add a personal touch to one’s player.

Mods
Downloading addons
Addons are the parent term for mods. While mods themselves are exclusive to the Java Edition of Minecraft, addons can be installed and used for other versions like Minecraft Education Edition.
This edition has many different types of addons/mods available for it, including vehicle mods, furniture mods, animal mods, and even mods that add security cameras. Players can find these mods on various websites like Minecraft’s official website.
To install an addon, players have to open the game and navigate to “Play”. From there, go to “Import”. Clicking on this option will open the player’s windows explorer, from where they can navigate to where they have downloaded the addon they want to install.
Selecting the addon and pressing “OK” will add the addon to Minecraft Education Edition, thus allowing players to use mods and addons in the game.
