About
Alchemist's Garden expands the Overworld with magical plants, creatures, blocks, and dungeons, while keeping its new mechanics close to vanilla Minecraft. Its plants are both hazards and resources: Creep Orchids can explode, Bubblis bubbles can extinguish players and briefly enable underwater breathing, Ember Weed burns like fire, and Cloudelions grant levitation. To gather the plants, players first craft a Leather Glove, then use gardening items such as Mixed Soil and Mixed Soil Pots to plant them in suitable places and grow more with bone meal. Plant properties feed into crafting and combat, including rings made from Ember Weed, Cloudelions, Glow Fungi, Toxic Caps, and Blood Roses, and weapons such as the Brambler, which summons thorny roots beneath its target. Advancements guide progression through dungeons and boss encounters: the Gnome King is summoned at the Royal Burrow in a buried, multi-floor den, while the Spider Queen is released from a Webby Keyhole in the Spider Pit. These bosses have distinct threats: the Gnome King calls Gnomes to help, regenerates health, and creates explosions, while the Spider Queen summons Spiderlings and spits acid that forms poisonous puddles. The Spider Pit can be explored for loot before its boss is summoned, and the Gnome King Den hides traps, secrets, and a treasure room behind narrow tunnels. Rare Alpha Shrooms roam forests as mini-bosses, charging players and fleeing when hit, and provide Glittering Spores used to upgrade or repair certain items. Seasonal Christmas content adds a fireplace, the Frost Army encounter, and the Festive Gnome trader, who exchanges Snowflakes for items including a sack that can yield minions and other rewards. In the Bumblezone, the mod's flowers can spawn, Pollen Puffs can encourage mushrooms to grow, and the Bezoar Stone can remove poison.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
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.4 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 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 both 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, images and code history 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.
