About
Adaptive Skin Weathering is a client-server visual mod for roleplay, hardcore survival, and Vanilla+ play that makes a player’s skin reflect their recent movement, surroundings, and injuries. Walking gradually adds terrain-matched grime: soil and grass leave dark dirt, mud and clay build wet mud faster, sand leaves pale dust, stone and ores add grey dust, and snow and ice leave a frosty tint; the terrain type persists through jumps and falls. The mod also works with unfamiliar modded blocks by using their tags, translation keys, or the surrounding biome to choose a suitable effect. Physical damage from mobs, falls, arrows, or other players causes distinctive blood splashes and stains on random body parts, while the overlay colors adapt to the character’s skin tone or can use a chosen custom blood color. Water and rain gradually wash away dirt and blood, with rain removing blood more slowly; wool carpets clean dirt from the feet, while clean indoor floors such as wood, stone, and glass prevent further accumulation. Swimming, rain, and splashes make the skin glossy and wet, with droplets that dry over time, while cold biomes, snowstorms, and freeze damage add frost and shed snowflakes as the character moves. Fire or extreme heat leaves soot and charcoal that can be washed away or fade naturally, and cold environments can produce visible steam breath that remains suspended where it was exhaled. Supplementaries soap triggers a gradual cleaning animation with foam and scrubbing effects, while an active Create splashing fan washes away dirt, blood, and soot. Players can configure dirt and blood effects, accumulation and cleaning rates, adaptive or custom colors, and settings for wetness, frost, soot, breath, and supported mod integrations. Its open API also lets developers build addons that apply other dynamic skin layers, from poison veins to transformations into mobs.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.5 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 5 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 5 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
