Mods

Mods are widely used on Civ servers to optimize gameplay. Many use modpacks created by other players to create mods.

This page serves as a guide and showing you how to download mods for certain versions. Note that installation may be different depending on Fabric/Forge or depending on version, so please keep in mind what version you are looking for.

Modloader Installation
All mods require one of these mod loaders to run. As of May 2022, Fabric and Forge can't be installed together, so you have to decide which loader you want. This will impact which mods you will be able to install.

Mods on 1.12.2 exist for Forge or Liteloader, which both can be installed together. Many Fabric mods also require Fabric API to be installed, so if you use Fabric, just install the corresponding Fabric API version as well.

If you run into issues installing mod loaders, you may consider installing the MultiMC Launcher, which provides one-click installs for mod loaders, managing multiple accounts and modpacks, and lots of other Minecraft configuration.

Bots
Remember to follow the botting rules of your server.
