We present constraints on extensions of the minimal cosmological models dominated by dark matter and dark energy, ΛCDM and $w$CDM, by using a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing from the first-year data of the Dark Energy Survey (DES Y1) in combination with external data. We consider four extensions of the minimal dark energy-dominated scenarios: 1) nonzero curvature Ωₖ, 2) number of relativistic species N_(eff) different from the standard value of 3.046, 3) time-varying equation-of-state of dark energy described by the parameters w₀ and wₐ (alternatively quoted by the values at the pivot redshift, wₚ, and wₐ), and 4) modified gravity described by the parameters μ₀ and Σ₀ that modify the metric potentials. We also consider external information from Planck CMB measurements; BAO measurements from SDSS, 6dF, and BOSS; RSD measurements from BOSS; and SNIa information from the Pantheon compilation. Constraints on curvature and the number of relativistic species are dominated by the external data; when these are combined with DES Y1, we find Ωₖ=0.0020^(+0.0037)_(-0.0032) at the 68% confidence level, and N_(eff)<3.28 (3.55) at 68% (95%) confidence. For the time-varying equation-of-state, we find the pivot value (wₚ, wₐ)=(-0.91^(+0.19)_(-0.23), -0.57^(+0.93)_(-1.11)) at pivot redshift zₚ=0.27 from DES alone, and (wₚ, wₐ)=(-1.01^(+0.04)_(-0.04), -0.28^(+0.37)_(-0.48)) at zₚ=0.20 from DES Y1 combined with external data; in either case we find no evidence for the temporal variation of the equation of state. For modified gravity, we find the present-day value of the relevant parameters to be Σ₀= 0.43^(+0.28)_(-0.29) from DES Y1 alone, and (Σ₀, μ₀)=(0.06^(+0.08)_(-0.07), -0.11^(+0.42)_(-0.46)) from DES Y1 combined with external data, consistent with predictions from GR.
