DOOM and Quake's mods are what breathe life into these games so many years after their release, even after the dozens of re-releases, people continue to fork these games' original engines to forge some of the most well-made boomer shooters there are.

Build Engine Games
This was the engine that powered Duke Nukem 3D.
Recommended Mods:
Blood by Monolith Productions
Shadow Warrior Classic Redux by Devolver Digital
Ion Fury by Voidpoint
Witchhaven by Capstone Software
The AMC Squad by AMC Squad Developers
——————
GZDOOM /
Zandronum
DOOM ports that make the game more stable and playable on modern hardware.
(v3.1) Enhanced Vanilla Project (GZDoom)
Legacy of Rust Pack (GZDoom)
Lithium (GZDoom)
Survivalism (DayZ / Rust Inspired) (Zandronum)
Ashes 2063 (GZDoom)
——————
Quake 1
There are no ports to link here, none that I've tried that is.
Arcane Dimensions (You can't talk about Quake mods without mentioning AD)
Dwell
Infernal Stroggos (Quake 4 in Quake 1)
HLQuake
There are more than likely a lot of great mods I either haven't played or forgot to put in this list, but these mods have been a lot of joy even if played at a casual level.
I wanted to mention ZDaemon and Skulltag but they're more multiplayer-focused DOOM ports so there weren't many mods to link (Zandronum is too, which is why there's only one mod I can recollect playing and thus, listing here).
Any mods you guys can recommend or remember playing?
