    About

    Always Listening is a spooky Minecraft mod that adds a persistent, invisible presence called the Mimic, which listens for player speech and manifests nearby every 10 to 20 minutes. Encounters can begin in silence, with the Mimic waiting in the shadows, or with unsettling sounds such as knocks at a door or window and faint whispers from dark corners. With Simple Voice Chat, speech-to-text recognizes phrases such as “Hello,” “Who are you?” and “Where are you?” and triggers scripted, eerie responses voiced by a whispering male TTS voice. The Mimic can detect nearby glass, doors and beds to deliver context-sensitive voice lines.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Adds 2 items and 35 sounds.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer, for example to open a link in your browser. Found in jna, a packed file the mod does not list.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in the mod's own code and in jna, a packed file the mod does not list. See Privacy
    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 · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • 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.

    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 · Its one file read
    • 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 so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and sounds and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs yet.

    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.
