The .mod filetype was the tracker module file for Protracker, originally developed for the Commodore Amiga. The original (and BotB supported) filetype had 4 channels of playback with 15 sample based instruments. Protracker was one of the first and most popular examples of tracker software, and the .mod format saw extensive use in the demoscene and video game development.

While the .mod format originated with Protracker, these days there is a wide variety of software that can import and/or export the module.
