Hannah, Lewis and Simon take another look at Mo' Creatures, with Hannah spending her time making babies.

Lewis and Simon look briefly at a very silly Bukkit plugin.

Hannah has made the Girliest version of Minecraft ever. Lewis and Simon are blown away by how adorable it is.

Today, it's an insane mod called "MoreCreeps and Weirdos" by Freakstritches. This guy needs to be locked away in a square room where the walls, ceiling and floor are soft squashy cushions.

Simon and Lewis backdate their Minecraft and build planes to explore an amazing randomly generated desert landscape.

More Shadow of Israphel tomorrow - for now, a quick look at an interesting mod.

Simon takes a break from failing at Portal 2 to bring you a Minecraft video. Wanting to experience some of the new weather conditions in the game, he plugs in a special seed suggested by an anonymous fan. Things do not go as expected.

Simon looks at Risugami's Mods - Biosphere, which has finally been released.

Undoubtedly one of the most polished and continually-updated mods out there. It's super awesome.

The official link to the forums is here - although it might be down because the forums are migrating. Typical.

Simon Plays the "NOW That's what I call Minecraft!" mod pack, compiled by Pudding Huxtable. He chases a bouncy peach, meets Pinku Slimes and fairies, 'makes' an airship and gun, and climbs a giant tower.

Lewis teases a new mod-pack complied, tested and with extra art/textures by Pudding Huxtable.

A trailer by Vareide for the Yogscast's new mod-pack.

Simon plays a new mod for Minecraft inspired by Katamari Damacy. Basically he turns into a giant ball and rolls around the place like a big Eejut.

Definitely some great stuff in this mod, it'd be fantastic if only a few of these things were added to the vanilla game. We've got windmills and cauldrons and ropes and engines and some generally totally awesome stuff.

Simon proudly shows off his Minecraft single player world with the Mo' Creatures mod - but he seems to have forgotten to update to the latest version.

Simon plays the Beekeeping Mod by Nandonalt.

Simon plays with the Yogbox mod-pack, a regularly updated, easy to install compilation pack of the best Minecraft mods out there that improve the single player experience - blah blah he rides a dolphin.

Hannah plays a preview of the latest addition to the Mo' Creatures Mod by Dr Zhark. It's not out yet, but will be soon.

Long-awaited, detailed, epic and in-depth. Less of a mod, more of an expansion.

A quick look at CordonFreeman's terrifying work-in-progress mod. I'm not going to link to it because there's no proper thread out there and you have to go through about 4 ad.fly links to install it.

Simon and Lewis take a look at the new airship (zeppelin) mod by Blakmajik. Zeppelin is a mod you can use to fly ships around in the Minecraft world. It is not limited to the world grid, but can move freely in space.

The Yogbox is a regularly updated, easy to install compilation pack of the best Minecraft mods out there that improve the single player experience.

Uranium ore and nuclear bombs are the focus of this little (fairly buggy) mod.

Lewis puts on his mad witch doctor's hat and screws around with potions. Needless to say, things eventually get out of hand.

A mod that involves digging? Yes please. Not to be confused with Hogofwars' superb fossils mod that is part of the Peaceful Pack available in the YogBox, this is another archaeology mod that adds some interesting things to the game.

Lewis finally returns to his spiritual home: outer space. Well, the lunar surface anyway.

The mostly terrible but at the same time potentially totally awesome if it is ever finished/polished. Pokemon in Minecraft.

The boys look at a mod specially made with Simon in mind, but Lewis thinks it still needs quite a bit of work.

Under the sea, a magical mod which involves swimming in crystal clear waters and relaxing while swimming around looking at all the awesome coral and stuff.

Make Minecraft astonishingly beautiful with magnificent water and high definition textures. It's like the real world, only made out of cubes.

Lewis and Simon continue to be distracted by mods, which will all completely break shortly when 1.8 is here. Here, we look at an amazing Alchemy-type mod that gives you some very cool end-game items.

Today, we take a peek at Eloraam's excellent Redpower. It's not all boring and confusing Redstone stuff (although there is a fair bit if that's what floats your boat). Don't forget to support your favorite mod-makers.

A new version of the Technic pack is out including two great mods - Xie's Farming and Clintonxa's Nature Overhaul. Check it out.

Oh God, now they're in Minecraft too. If you don't know what the weeping angels are, they're from Doctor Who, go check it out.

The boys look at some amazing stuff that's been made in the Technic pack by people more talented than Lewis.

Remember to buy a goat for Simon this Christmas.
