Best Minecraft Inventory Mod?

Inventorio is an essential inventory update mod for Minecraft. As you can see in the screenshot above, Inventorio will store your main tools on a toolbelt, and automatically equip the correct tool for what you're doing in real-time. Swinging at a zombie? Inventorio will automatically switch to your sword, and so on. Inventorio also doubles the capacity of your Ender Chest, and adds a new enchantment for your leggings called 'Deep Pockets' for even more basic inventory space.

Best Minecraft Third Person Mod?

LEAWIND'S Third Person Perspective is the smoothest and most well-designed third-person Minecraft mod you can imagine. Your camera will automatically adjust depending on what you're doing, whether walking, aiming your bow, flying, or swimming—a truly all-encompassing third-person camera Minecraft mod.

Best Minecraft Enemy Mods:

From the Shadows introduces a fresh horde of terrifying mobs, and is not for the faint of heart. From the underground terror known as the Nehemoth to the hideous Bulldrogioth, From the Shadows is the perfect mob mod to add a spike of excitement to your Minecraft world. Be warned, however, that these mobs are a serious threat in combat, so be prepared before unleashing these powerful enemies into the wild!

The Undead Revamped adds a batch of new zombie mob types to Minecraft. These new zombie types are far from basic, and boast some of the wildest attack animations you'll find in Minecraft (check out the Beekeeper Zombie!) A fun mod for those looking for more challenging hostile mobs in their Minecraft worlds.

Best Minecraft Biome Mods:

Autumnity is an expansive biome mod, but not in the way you might think. Autumnity only adds 2 new biomes, however, these biomes also introduce a ton of new mobs, food items, and building blocks (including Jack-o'-lanterns) all centered around an autumnal theme. If you're on the lookout for cozier biomes and build options, this may be the mod for you.

Regions Unexplored adds a range of fresh biomes to the game, and is perfect for the budding Minecraft explorer! From crystal caves to bamboo forests to mountain prairies and the mushroom-laden blackwood forest, Regions Unexplored is the perfect biome mod for expanding the overworld, cave biomes, and even the nether.

Minecraft Furniture Mods:

Handcrafted is one of the ultimate furniture mods for Minecraft. From sofas and beds to luxurious dining tables and ornate chimneys, Handcrafted is the perfect mod for all of you Minecraft house builders. Many blocks, for example those of the sofa and the bed, have connecting textures meaning they can be placed side-by-side seamlessly. You can also adjust the texture of some blocks using the Hammer item.

Let's Do: Bakery is a top-tier food production mod. Whether you plan to build your very own bakery or simply buff up your kitchen, Let's Do: Bakery allows you to bake mouth-watering bread and sweet treats that you can then display in fancy new cabinets. You can even design your own restaurant with an array of new tables and chairs.

Just Outdoor Stuffs provides a ton of furnishings themed around the great outdoors. From shovel racks to outdoor seating to lawnmowers and watering cans, this mod is essential for any Minecraft gardening fanatics out there. The only drawback to Just Outdoor Stuffs is that the theming of most of its furnishings is rather modern, meaning this mod is ill-suited for use in medieval builds. Most furniture besides the seating is also decorative only.

Minecraft Vehicle Mod:

The Laendli Transport mod adds a horde of new and quirky vehicles to Minecraft! Hit the ocean floor in the 2-seater Submersible. Cruise in style in Minecraft's fanciest car, the Freight Motor Coach. And if you're looking to do some damage? Get yourself a Gun Turret, or a Cannon, or maybe even a War-Airship. Laendli Transport even includes some handsome clothing cosmetics.
