You can just go get Unity or UE right now. With UE you can make a $1million before you need to pay a royalty and the tooling is substantially better than any of the tools id released back in the day. (And fwiw I think it's a crying shame id tech engines are no longer open sourced too!)

Making a brand new game with an existing engine is not "build on top of one another like mods do", though. Games engines do not include the game logic of the games.
