How I Find Ideas for Mods

In the past, I have struggled a lot with finding inspiration for my Minecraft mods. However, more recently, I've found a few strategies that are helpful for me to find cool ideas to base my latest projects on, so I thought I'd ought to share them with the rest of you!

  • Use the random article button on Wikipedia. This is where I get some of my best project ideas! In order to find the random article button, you need to press the hamburger icon and you should see it in the main menu.
  • Consume some content. Sometimes, taking a break and spending time watching non-Minecraft-related things (when I mod for long periods of time, I usually get stuck with watching mostly Minecraft content) can be a good source of inspiration. Some of my favorite mods are based off certain movies and books!
  • Make mods based off your pre-existing interests. For example, for a while now, I've had an interest in birds. If your interest is vast, like mine, then you could make a mod encompassing the entirety of the subject, or a smaller mod highlighting your favorite parts!

If none of these work for you, then feel free to discuss in the comments!
