About
Alex's Caves Addon changes several behaviors in Alex's Caves and adds configurable magnetic abilities and quarry improvements. Tremorzilla and Luxtructosaurus follow the mob-griefing rule; configurable changes can also remove Tremorzilla's forced knockback, stop Luxtructosaurus from jumping, and remove its extra defense against Wardens. The addon lets Hullbreaker fly and allows a crossbow to load and fire nukes, with the crossbow change controlled by a configuration option. Its magnetic techniques use neodymium to create three attacks: a red explosive orb, a blue orb that pulls in nearby mobs before exploding, and a purple orb that deals heavy damage and destroys blocks. The magnetic quarry improvements reduce the Quarry Smasher's cooldown, triple the quarry's size limit, allow one quarry to link to multiple smashers, and make a smasher drop as an item when broken with Silk Touch. Luxtructosaurus can sometimes spawn riding a flying mob; this jockey behavior is enabled by default, while the other features described as configurable are disabled by default.

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.
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.1 latest file, for a recent version. 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
- 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 its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
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.Not on Modrinth.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found2 of 14 changelogs read
