Texture Packs

Mods or Modifications are alterations to the game that provide different effects that weren't provided by the developers. Mods are generally made by fans to add things they think the game lacks, this can be anything from a program that spawns monsters to a Hot Air Balloon. Using certain mods may be considered illegal and you may be charged or get your steam account banned. If you want to be sure before use, you can read the steam EULA to make sure the mod wont get you banned.
