A '''mod''', '''mods''', or the process of '''modding''' refers to player-made game modifications. Modding has always been popular amongst the Diablo community, despite Blizzard's never including any helpful map-making or other utilities. The [[D3 Team]] will not be officially supporting modding in Diablo 3 either, though fans will surely find workarounds, as they have with the other games in the series.
==Background==
Mods are unofficial changes that often make the game incompatible with the official version. Modding ranges from from minor changes like changing the stats on weapons or monsters, up to huge "full /total conversions" (or total conversions) where the entire game is changed aroundreworked in very substantial ways.
Blizzard has not done much to support modding in the Diablo community, since the company makes the games with proprietary tools that are not user friendly, or in the public domain. Despite these obstacles, players have created some amazing mods, greatly extending the play experience of Diablo and Diablo 2.
