If you're honest, you haven't played Minecraft in years Have you? After you've reached the bottom of the game's rather shallow tech tree, there's an endless amount of fun to be had building things out of blocks.

To download the modpacks, all you need is the Twitch Desktop app (opens in new tab) that will guide you through the installation process. Simply click the Minecraft tab, then click "Browse All Modpacks", and then use the search bar to find each one.
