mods-Mods (short for modifications) are anything that changes Minecraft's game content from what it originally was. Mods are becoming increasingly popular and in-depth, adding whole new experiences and goals to the game.
skins-
A skin refers to the texture that is placed onto a player model or mob.
The skin is divided into areas that act as the surface area of the character (For example, there's the front head area, left leg area, etc.). A skin will only allow solid color; transparency is not allowed on the skin file except on the second head area, which is transparent by default; playing offline, pixels can be left free resulting in "holes" in the skin. The second head layer can be used to give the character glasses, hats, or other accessories (even a bigger head).

However, any changes made to the world made by the player will not show in a newly created seed.
