When Minecraft updates, all the mods for the old version become outdated (duh). Besides being unable to use these mods, it's incredibly hard to find mods that have updated due to all the morons spamming "uPdAtE kThXbAi." So, to make it easier on everyone, I've created a list of mods that have updated. If I missed one, or if I miss one that updates while I'm playing with the mods I've found, please post it here.
Note: I did not make any of these mods, nor am I giving direct links to downloads. I am only providing links to threads of mods that have updated to 1.3.1.

There’s nothing here! I did add a lot of things, but they’re not here because I added too many of them while reorganizing the thread.
_-_-Other Notes-_-_
Replaced the unofficial ModLoader with an official version. Hooray!
“Must Have” Mods
These are mods that have been around long enough to be recognized by mostly everyone, they’re used by other mods to be able to do what they do, or are just overall useful for everyone, even if they do help you cheat. You’re welcome to argue if one should or should not be in here
ModLoader
All of you should know what this is! If you don’t, welcome to Minecraft modding! You’ll be installing this with pretty much any other mods you find later on. It doesn’t do anything by itself; it’s just used by mods so they can be compatible with other mods! By Risugami
Render Player API
An API used by mods to add things to the player's model. You should only install this if another mod requires it. By Divisor
Player API
Not the same as Render Player API. You should only install this if another mod requires it. By Divisor
AudioMod
Used by many mods to be able to make sounds. By Risugami
TooManyItems
This adds in a nice GUI next to your inventory allowing you to get any item you want (in survival too!), change the time, toggle the weather, and switch between creative/survival at will! By Marglyph
Zombe's Modpack
All of you know what this is, and it's updated to 1.3.1! If you don’t know what it is, it’s a collection of mods that allow for flying, seeing through the ground in search of ores, and a bunch of other goodies. You should at least try it once, but don’t go onto a server with it unless you plan on being banned. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Enjoy! ๏_๏ By tanzanite
Rei's Minimap
Possibly the most popular and powerful minimap in the history of Minecraft. Any description I could give of it wouldn't do it justice. Optional ModLoader. Just don't install the aov.class if you're using ModLoader. By ReiFNSK
Optifine
This will replace how Minecraft renders the game, so you can actually run Minecraft on your old 2004 computer! If you don’t know what this is, and you get 100+ FPS, then just ignore it, but if you get lower than 60FPS or the game just feels like it stutters, then you should take a look! It also has support for HD textures, animated textures, better grass, and pretty much trumps using MCPatcher.
Item Related Mods
All of these have to do with items in some way or another, like adding in new recipes, changing old recipes, adding in new tools/armor, and telling you when your last pickaxe is about to break.
Damage Counter
Replaces the cryptic durability bar under tools with actual numbers showing how many uses are left in your tool. It even keeps the old color changing feature of the bars! By TLUL

Similar to Damage Counter, but places a number above the durability bar. By TheWhiteWolves
Show Durability Mod

Look closely at that item on the ground. Closer. Closerrrr. Too close! You can’t see it anymore because that item is 2D! This makes items render in 3D, like how they look in your hand. By Quintinity
Shelf
This will give you a shelf that you can display your items on! By Risugami

Enderman don't pick up blocks
The previous mod already can do this, but this is updated as well, and it exists, so it goes on. There's two version of this mod, one where Enderman don't pick up blocks, and another where they still don't pick up anything, but are also immune to water and sunlight. By Jeffrey6978

Changes the AI of a few mobs to be a bit more realistic and more fun. By NiteLitezFTW
Wolves and Ocelots Don’t Spawn

Vintage Creepers
In the olden days of Minecraft, creepers were the most feared foe in the Minecraftian universe. Sure, they might still be for some, but they were terrible before. When you killed a creeper, it would still explode! By chylex

Fixes/Slight Changes
These will fix various bugs and annoyances with Minecraft, or might just change something to be a bit more friendly or creative.
Click Mining Fix Fix
Will change how soon you can break another block. Depending on the version you get, you can sprint while breaking a 1x1 line of dirt in front of you with a diamond shovel, or it can be how it was in older versions, where if you clicked again just after breaking a block, you could start breaking the next block sooner. By IDontEvenKnow
Light Update Mod
As you've been exploring the new map you made with 1.3.1, you've been finding area's where it's nothing but black. If you stand near it and type in the command this adds (/updatelight), it should be fixed. By Wubbi
Middlerun’s Mod
Fixes some light glitches, makes water less annoying, and makes grass make more sense around stairs. By middlerun
1/2 Hit Snowballs
Makes snow balls deal a 1/2 heart of damage. Finally your army of snow golems can do something! By G3R4RD
Better Sprinting
The way sprinting is set up is a bit… clumsy, to say the least. This makes it a bit more like other games, where you press a single key to start sprinting. By chylex
Toggle Sneak/Sprint
This will allow you to toggle sneaking, or press a key to start running. By Davidee
Nova’s Dream Ladder
Changes how ladders work to be slightly less annoying. By Ramalayha

iAmDat’s Safewalking
When you’re crouching, you don’t fall off of the edge of a block. But maybe you want to move at full speed, but not fall off of a block. This will allow you to do just that, and you can toggle it too, so it’s very useful when you’re AFK on a server. By iAmDat
You Are Herobrine
This mod lets you play as Herobrine. It completely changes the way the game works, and you can find and kill Steve. By C3s4r_6om
Not Just About Boobs
I'm not entirely sure why I posted this, but it is updated, so have a description: This adds in what the title says, but also changes how the player looks. Depending on how you configure it, it can change the shape of the player entirely. It's actually a little impressive how strangely deformed you can make the player look. By newcoleco
Tool, Cheating, and Utility Mods
These mods are very helpful for doing various things, or maybe you just want to see where your friend hid his stash.
Capture the Monument UI Mod
I’m not entirely sure what this does. If someone could give me a good description it would be appreciated. By xIGBClutchIx
What's My Light Level?
This nifty little mod can show you what your light level is, as the name says, but it can tell you that if hostile mobs can spawn, if plants can grow, and can show you your FPS, the direction you're facing (in words!), your coordinates, what biome you're in, and the world seed, all without having to hit F3! You can configure what shows up and what doesn't. By iPeer
Light Level Overlay
This will show the light level of a block, but will display the number on the block itself. By 4poc
FPS Display
Simple, it will show you what your FPS is without you having to open F3. By iAmDat
Write to Books from Text Files
This will let you create a text file in your .minecraft folder, add stuff to it, then that will appear in a book! Well, sort of. It’s a bit more involved than that, but meh.
BetterLAN
This will change the underlying server in 1.3.1 to be a Bukkit server! At least, I’m fairly certain that’s what it does. By ajwgeek
AutoJoin
This will continuously spam whatever server you set it on, trying to join until there’s an empty point. As useful as you might find this, I recommend you don’t do this, as it can severely lag the server you point it at. By Davidee
Finder Compass
This will allow you to have a compass that will point you in the direction of any block you choose! It will also help you find Strongholds and Dungeons. By Atomic Stryker
Zan's Minimap
While not as powerful as Rei's Minimap, some people might prefer it. By MamiyOtaru
Aliens Motion Tracker
Adds in a nice looking motion tracker in the corner of your screen. By MamiyOtaru
Material Detector
Essentially a local area minimap that can show where ores are in a top down form or switch to a vertical display and show you what’s around you behind walls. By Ellian
Simply Hax
This will let you fly and see through walls, helpful for finding cave systems! By Atomic Stryker
HighJump Mod
This allows you to jump much higher than normal, but be careful, you can still take fall damage! By mjacobinc
I appreciate the work you've put into this but you put it in the wrong section.
I wasn't sure what section to put it in actually. No body would check the mod packs section for this is the problem, and it's not exactly a mod pack either.
Hey dont wanna be a buzz kill but I already have a list of mods if you want you can help me with my list but good work on your list --==Chaos's 1.3 Super Mod Emporium==--
Hey dont wanna be a buzz kill but I already have a list of mods if you want you can help me with my list but good work on your list --==Chaos's 1.3 Super Mod Emporium==--
Hm... I'll be keeping mine updated even though you have yours, because if there's two threads then more people will find one or the other. I'm not trying to compete with your or anything, and yours has a much nicer layout than mine. Would you mind if I check my list against yours for mods I missed?
this would help me alot but it dosnt because i cant open the spoler button in every posts i cant open it for no reason so if u can help me it would be nice
Weird... I don't know why that's happening. If you can't fix it, maybe I'll just remove the spoilers and figure out how to have links to areas within my post. A table of contents kind of thing.
I had already added the progress bar earlier today when it popped up, but the bonus chest is new. I'll add that and check back every now and then for any new mods you add.
Thanks for doing this. My only critique is that it might be hard for readers (like me) to know when you have updated the list. So each time you update and edit the original post, could you also make a post explaining the new changes to your list. That way I can easier find what is new, without having to look through the list every time for changes.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind for next time I add in mods. I'm also going to be redoing how it's organized at some point.
Note: I did not make any of these mods, nor am I giving direct links to downloads. I am only providing links to threads of mods that have updated to 1.3.1.

There’s nothing here! I did add a lot of things, but they’re not here because I added too many of them while reorganizing the thread.
_-_-Other Notes-_-_
Replaced the unofficial ModLoader with an official version. Hooray!
“Must Have” Mods

ModLoader
All of you should know what this is! If you don’t, welcome to Minecraft modding! You’ll be installing this with pretty much any other mods you find later on. It doesn’t do anything by itself; it’s just used by mods so they can be compatible with other mods!

This will replace how Minecraft renders the game, so you can actually run Minecraft on your old 2004 computer! If you don’t know what this is, and you get 100+ FPS, then just ignore it, but if you get lower than 60FPS or the game just feels like it stutters, then you should take a look! It also has support for HD textures, animated textures, better grass, and pretty much trumps using MCPatcher.

By ajwgeek

I wasn't sure what section to put it in actually. No body would check the mod packs section for this is the problem, and it's not exactly a mod pack either.
Please. kthnxbai.
That phrase... jk
Anyway, ive moved this to a more suiting location.
Thanks for moving it!
Helped me with too many things to list ^^
--==Chaos's 1.3 Super Mod Emporium==--
Hm... I'll be keeping mine updated even though you have yours, because if there's two threads then more people will find one or the other. I'm not trying to compete with your or anything, and yours has a much nicer layout than mine. Would you mind if I check my list against yours for mods I missed?
Weird... I don't know why that's happening. If you can't fix it, maybe I'll just remove the spoilers and figure out how to have links to areas within my post. A table of contents kind of thing.
I had already added the progress bar earlier today when it popped up, but the bonus chest is new. I'll add that and check back every now and then for any new mods you add.
I'll do that. When a mod as big as one of those shows up I'll add it to a separate list from the others.
And it's already in there. I just need to get around to organizing it a bit better.
Thanks!
[My Suggestion] Safes/ Locked Chests http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/881982-a-safe-vault-a-balanced-approach/
Alright, I'll keep that in mind for next time I add in mods. I'm also going to be redoing how it's organized at some point.
