Mods in Minecraft

Hello Maria Fernandez2,

You're welcome and thanks for sharing these details.

If system detects incompatibility between the launcher and the mods there is a possibility that you may not be able to launch the game or the launcher itself. Mods or modding is short terminology for modification. This is created to enhance the content of the game. Not all games allow mods or modification however, Minecraft can be use with mods but considering the use and creation should be with precaution and warning. A user can always choose how they would like to play the game and how it should appear. This choice is created and made by Minecraft enthusiast and those mods were updated based on the version of the launcher or the game itself. There are mods that will only work on specific version of the game and those mods will not work on an updated version of Minecraft Launcher or Minecraft Java/Bedrock edition.

There is, however, a last month hotfix for the Minecraft launcher modding and this version may help your son and you to launch the game - Minecraft Legends - Modding Hotfix | Minecraft Help. You may uninstall or disable mods for this game and try to launch Minecraft if it will be able to do so. Since, modding is not officially supported by Minecraft Support Team it is possible that you may reach out to the mod creator for a revision or to ask if the hotfix could be a resolution to their issue.

Hope that helps.

Hi Gage Beall,

We understand your desire in playing Minecraft. However, changes to Minecraft, or "mods," are available via several third-party web sites. These mods can add or remove content from the game or modify the way it is played. Since Modding is not officially supported, Minecraft Support cannot help with problems arising from the use of mods. See Mods for Minecraft: Java Edition for more details.



Kindly reach out to the mods support regarding this issue.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Thanks for the update.

Sorry for the late response. We appreciate you have performed our suggested troubleshooting. We noticed that you are trying to play Minecraft with mods. Do you mind checking if you can play Minecraft without mods? Will the game launches?

There is a possibility that playing a game with mods will only work on a certain version and edition of the game. Those the environment will not change and might not need to be updated. Thus, this information is provided by the mods creator and if the mods they created would work on newer versions of the game's edition. With that being said, they may release an update to their mods regularly and you should be reporting to them (mods creator) about any discrepancy on their mods.

To simplify the explanation, the regular set up of Minecraft should work without mods. There are mods that will only work on specific game version and mostly they provide this version. In that matter, if the game will not work with mods then you need to report this to the creator of the mod for fix.

Modding can be complex and may cause your game to malfunction or not be playable. As modding is not officially supported, Minecraft Support cannot assist with issues arising from mod usage. - Based on this support article: Mods for Minecraft: Java Edition – Home

Hope you have a great day!

There is no way of adding external mods to the Minecraft on Xbox as its against their ToS. The best version for modding would be the Minecraft Java Edition, which is PC only.
