The Mods feature was introduced in Tiki 1.9 as a tool to distribute, install, upgrade and remove Tiki components with LGPL incompatible licenses which didn't allow them to be included as part of the Tiki release package. A Mod can be a feature, plugin, module, theme, language file, replacement for an existing feature, or a combination of these.

Towards the end of life of the Mods feature, it has been used only for aftermarket visual themes and PluginR.
