    About

    Anchor Optimizer is a client-side Minecraft mod for anchor PvP that makes an anchor appear to explode immediately, reducing the perceived wait for server confirmation and helping players time their actions. It does this by briefly replacing the exploded anchor with a barrier-like block on the client; the server still processes the real explosion, so the mod does not make damage happen sooner or change what other players see. It also supports the anchor-optimization visuals of Hero’s Optimizer and Walksys Anchor Opti, and includes an updater to keep the mod current.

    Security

    No harmful code found in the parts we could check

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

    3 of its files for recent versions cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download them from CurseForge.

    What it can do on your computer

    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer. Only in its files for Fabric 26.1 to 26.3.
    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 Anchor Optimizer, a library it includes and in Anchor Optimizer, a library it includes. 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 · 3 of 6 latest files 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.
      6 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 6 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. 3 of them are not checked yet. 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.

      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends about you, in the 3 of its 6 files we read

    We read its code without running it: it contacts 1 web address while you play.

    Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.

    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 · 3 of 6 files 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.

    • 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

    AI was used for its code

    The author declares AI code on Modrinth.

    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.
