Passed
Nothing harmful found in its 2 official files, version 1.1.7.
Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless.
What we checked
A launcher runs on your phone or tablet like any app, and it downloads the game and its mods, so harmful code in it can steal your accounts or files.
- Files checkedEach official file is downloaded on a separate machine, opened with every file inside it and never run. ClamAV, a free antivirus, and our YARA rules look for known signs of harm in all of it.
- 2 of its 2 official files, with every file inside them.
- Deep checkOur own tools read the Java code in the files and look for what harmful code does, like stealing logins or running hidden programs. They read Java code only.
- 2 of its 2 official files.
- Same as listedA fingerprint of the file. The same fingerprint means the same file, byte for byte.
- Every file we checked has the SHA-256 that GitHub gives.
- Older releases
- 4 official files of 2 older releases, every one checked.
What we found
What its Java code can do. None of this is harmful by itself: many launchers and mods do the same.
- Can connect to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, sign you in or download the game. What it sends is in Privacy.
- Contains code made for your system
- Native libraries (.dll, .so, .dylib) run outside the Java sandbox. Used for speed, compression, audio, graphics or database engines.
- Creates code while it runs
- The code can create or load pieces of code while it runs. Launchers load the game, its mod loaders and their own modules this way.
- Starts other programs
- The code can start another program on your computer. Common reasons: opening a web link or a folder, reading hardware information, launching a helper tool.

Not read
We have not read its Java code yet.
What we checked
A launcher can send information about you over the internet, such as your player name or your login.
- Deep checkWe read the code and list each web address it can contact, and what it sends. We leave out code that is never used.
- The Java code of all 2 files that hold some. See each file in Releases
- Also named in its codeAddresses written in its code that no code we read contacts: a link shown to you, a default setting, or code we could not follow.

Releases
Current files: the official files of version 1.1.7.
A fake site uses the name of Amethyst to offer its download from an address that is not the official one.
How to know the official site
- Official site
- angelauramc.dev
- Files come from
- github.com/AngelAuraMC
- SHA-256A fingerprint of the file. The same fingerprint means the same file, byte for byte.

Their download
Their buttons lead to Amethyst's own file on GitHub.
If you downloaded a file from one of these sites
- Drop the file in the Scanner. It tells you if it is an official file of Amethyst or a file of these sites.
- If it is not an official file and you have not opened it, delete it.
- If you opened it: run a full scan with your antivirus. On Windows, the built-in one is Microsoft Defender, in the Windows Security app.
- If you signed in to the launcher it installed: use "sign out everywhere" in your Microsoft security settings and change your Microsoft account password.
- Get Amethyst from its official site, angelauramc.dev .

About
Amethyst is a launcher for playing Minecraft: Java Edition on Android and iOS, built on experience from Boardwalk and PojavLauncher. It can launch nearly all available game versions, from early development builds through current snapshots, and supports Forge and Fabric modding. Its tools include graphical and headless mod installers, while its mobile controls support a rewritten input system and game-surface zooming.
Written from its official pages: its GitHub page and angelauramc.dev . How we write it
