Not only has this great game received official updates and DLC, but Don’t Starve Togetherhas also been given mod support and players can introduce new elements themselves for untold quantities of helpful devices and other kinds of novel additions to the already awesome gameplay. What are the best mods for Don’t Starve Together?
Updated on August 29, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman:A great thing about giving a game mod support is that as long as there are people playing it, new content will naturally keep appearing at random intervals. It is for this reason, and a few others, why modern game developers of survival titles should consider giving their creations such capabilities, as constantly renewed replay value is an excellent boon to any product’s longevity. Don’t Starve Together is a prime example of this trend, as more and more innovative and fun player-made mods get added on a regular basis.
12 Burning Timer

As can be noted in the immensely satisfying demonstration video on this mod’s Steam page, players can use the Burning Timer mod to keep track of how much longer their Campfire can keep burning. However, it also displays how long other burning objects stay alight, such as the Fire Pit, Endothermic Fire, Endothermic Fire Pit, and Night Light. This mod is the best way to keep track of many fires at once.
This clever mod also calculates the time left in the life of a fire when it is raining or exposed to other dampening elements. As can also be gleaned from the neat demo video, the timers of respecting burning objects do not overlap or create any lag, even with a lot going on at once.
11 Ocean Currents

Environmental mods are a great way to make exploring the vast and randomized worlds of Don’t Starve Together even more interesting. This one that adds significant currents to the oceans of the world, aptly named the Ocean Currents mod, will have a huge impact on players planning to spend a lot of time on the water.

This is more than a cosmetic change, as the currents push and pull the player as well as creatures and objects like boats. In fact, the author of this best mod even made it so that ocean mobs like squid and fish actively seek out these currents to ride them in a very immersive touch that makes this addition feel like part of the game’s vanilla experience.
10 CraftBlock - 3D Base Building

With so much building potential to be had in Don’t Starve Together, players have always found it disappointing that they could not stack objects on top of each other like in some other survival games that feature base building. The CraftBlock mod grants players the ability to not only stack and form bases like never before, but a ton of other features as well.
As this mod essentially unlocks an entire third dimension, the author has experimented to great results to give players the ability to jump as well, meaning that they can now hop over small objects while moving. Furthermore, there are even 8 new crafting recipes featuring brand new objects in the Structures tab.
9 999 Stack Size

One of the most tedious parts about surviving in Don’t Starve is the restrictive stack sizes. They’re sometimes far too small for efficient hoarding and this results in players needing to leave things scattered on the ground when inventory space gets tight.
The 999 Stack Size mod is the best for alleviating this issue by doing exactly what it sounds like: making all stacks go up to 999. Inventory management will be a breeze after installing this one.
8 Beefalo Milk

Dairy connoisseurs should definitely check out this delicious mod, as it adds close to a dozen new food items to the game and ranges from tremendously delectable (pizza) to outright disturbing (fish yogurt).
Each milk or cheese-based food is made from milk harvested from everyone’s favorite bovine in the Beefalo Milk mod. Most of the consumables restore huge quantities of health, hunger, and sanity and are worth risking a sneaky milking on a Beefalo, though, be warned, for they can kick quite hard!
7 Better Moon

It can be hard to tell when a full moon is approaching, which is something that becomes important to prepare for. The Better Moon mod adds in visuals that show which phase the moon is currently in for prudent survivalists to take advantage of.

Each phase, both waxing and waning, is composed of 3 different subphases that show the trend in which the moon is moving. This subtle yet important detail adds great immersive qualities as well as performing its function well.
6 Chocolate +

Here’s another delicious mod, but chocolate-themed this time. The Chocolate + mod adds Cacao trees into the game which the player can harvest Cacao seeds from. These large seeds can be used to create chocolate and a few more dark and tasty recipes.
Chocolate milk, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate chip cookies are also on the menu of this mod, which are 3 very strong reasons to check it out. Each of these new food items restores great quantities of hunger and sanity, though do little for health.
5 Fish Day

Most of the time, the best weapons and armor are usually risky or costly to acquire. The Fish Day mod changes this by including some new equipment that can be made from relatively easy-to-find resources, although this one needs the Shipwrecked DLC in order to function.
This mod includes 2 new pieces of armor as well as 3 weapons; all made from fish parts or similar components. Most of them can take and dish out a fair bit of damage, making them preferable to more common armor and weapons.
4 Geometric Placement

Due to the isometric and organic nature of Don’t Starve, players can sometimes have a tough time placing things in neat arrangements. This placement mod is one of the best for organizing things in one’s digital home!

The Geometric Placement mod can help out those who are particular about the setup of their base and even lets one place things in variously shaped patterns like squares, diamonds, and hexagons. This helpful grid is perfect for planning and the size, color, and other aspects can be adjusted for even greater usability.
3 Storm Cellar
Link to mod .
Storage is a constant battle in this game, especially when handling resources that can go rotten. Fridges and chests take quite a lot of components each, therefore having a bigger option that deals with both storage and preservation concerns would be ideal.
That’s where the Storm Cellar mod comes in, as it introduces a structure that possesses 80 slots that is fireproof, can keep things cool, and is immune to giant-based damage.
2 Wilson’s Cabin
Link to mod .
For those who have grown tired of living in a mud hut, there is the Wilson’s Cabin mod. Despite seeming a bit strange to play a survival game and live in what looks like an excellent emulation of a modest house, this structure is a very comfortable residence.
When sleeping inside Wilson’s Cabin, the player will gain 50 sanity and 60 health per rest for an excellent way to replenish these vital statuses.
1 Waiter 101
Link to mod .
As arguably the best food item mods to be created for Don’t Starve Together, the Waiter 101 mod offers an insane 101 new food items into the game while being compatible with the Reign of Giants, Hamlet, and Shipwrecked DLCs.
There are so many new recipes that aspiring chefs would happily be able to spend hours cooking up a storm with their treasured Crock Pot.
