Mods are widely used on Civ servers to optimize gameplay. Many are bundled into modpacks created by other players to utilize mods.
This page serves as a guide and showing you how to download mods for modern versions of Civ, specifically 1.20.4[note 1]. For installing older versions of mods for Civ, please follow Mods/1.8 or Mods/Old.
Modloader Installation
If not already downloaded, install Java version 17. Make sure to select the install method for your system (usually an .msi
or .dmg
, unless you're on Linux, then you know what you're doing).
Launcher Install (recommended)
Use Prism Launcher to install different versions of Minecraft and modpacks concurrently.[note 2] When creating an instance, make sure to select 1.8.9
and also select Fabric (or NeoForge, Quilt) as the installer. For more information, click here.
When downloading mods, you can install them directly from Curseforge within Prism Launcher's client. See here for how to do so.
Manual install
Fabric is the highly recommended modloader available for 1.20; most mods built for Civ these days are all built for Fabric these days.[note 3] Download the installer here.
NeoForge can also be used for this version, however fewer mods for Civ are available through Forge-like loaders. Note that all Forge mods are compatible with Neoforge.[note 4] Click here to go to the installer page, then switch the version to 1.20.4.
Mod List
Please note:
- Mods are separated by category, sorted alphabetically. Please make sure you are downloading the correct mod for your loader.
- This is not an exhaustive, nor approved list of mods; this is merely a list of mods that are widely used within Civ. Please make sure you comply with the server's rules before installing these mods, you are downloading and using these mods at your own risk.
- If you're using a launcher system, you may be able to directly download these mods from the launcher itself. You can find most of these mods on either Curseforge or Modrinth.

Notes
- ↑ This guide will get updated to future versions as necessary. 1.20.4 is currently recommended as most mods are using this as a target for upgrading, and 1.20.6 is currently too new for most releases.
- ↑ If you've been using MultiMC or PolyMC in the past, see this guide to update and migrate your launcher. Prism is the successor to both that provides more active updates and downloads to CurseForge/Modrinth.
- ↑ Quilt has been dropped from this guide due to fewer mods having support for Quilt.
- ↑ Forge has been dropped from this guide due to more development occurring on 1.20 on NeoForge.
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 The noted version is 1.20.1, although it should work for all 1.20 versions.
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 This is a third party port of AdvancedChat to 1.20, as an official version has not been released.
- ↑ This is an experimental version of Distant Horizons for 1.20.4, please use at your own risk.
- ↑ This is a fork of the original VoxelMap, the previous Voxelmap maintainer (MamiyaOtaru) has disappeared without handing off the project, and this is a continuation of the project so far.
- ↑ This mod says it's updated to 1.20.1, but use at your own risk.
- ↑ Please note that ReplayMod is only legal on CivMC for the purposes of creating videos or related content.
