If you desire to expand your gaming experience with some of the awesome mods made by other players - there are new blocks and objects, new creatures, beautiful shaders, recipe tweaks, quality of life improvements, one which transforms Locusts into minions to do your every bidding, and many others - the best place to look for them is on the [https://mods.vintagestory.at/home official Mod DB].  You can also find a few additional mods on the [https://www.vintagestory.at/forums/forum/17-mod-releases/ official forums]. We generally advise that you check which game version or versions a mod requires, to make sure it matches the game version you are currently playing.
 
'''TL;DR:''' Download mods and drag them to the game's Mods folder.  Using the in-game Mod Manager, you can enable or disable mods as you want, for each time you play.  (A planned future update, most likely Vintage Story 1.15, will allow servers to automate this process - so when you connect to a multiplayer server which offers a modded game, it will automatically set up the mods correctly for that server on the player's side.)


Most mods download as a .zip file.  Locate the file you just downloaded - in modern browsers such as Chrome, you can right-click on the file downloaded notification and choose "Show in Folder".  Or your browser's downloads list (Ctrl+J) may have a button to show each downloaded file in its folder.  Or on Windows you can perhaps look in the Downloads folder through File Explorer.
