Highly configurable, modular tweaks/additions mod!
57.2 of the 71 points that apply = 81 out of 100. The points above are rounded to whole numbers.
Andromeda is a highly configurable collection of more than 40 optional modules that adds gameplay tweaks, useful items and mechanics, and visual changes to Minecraft. World and farming modules add loot-filled barrels to caves, let players adjust farmland hydration, allow some crops to replant themselves, and make crop growth depend on temperature; bee nests can also fall from trees, while bees may spread flowers as they pollinate. Other practical additions include plant pouches for seeds, flowers, and saplings, plus a magnet that attracts selected items and can be upgraded with Hearts of the Sea. For exploration and combat, guarded chests reveal nearby monsters that must be killed before the chest can be opened, while configurable snowball effects can freeze or extinguish targets, freeze water, and build snow layers. The mod also expands transport with anvil, note-block, and jukebox minecarts, as well as furnace, hopper, jukebox, and TNT boats; chains can link minecarts so one follows another. Additional entity and progression tweaks include villagers responding to gifts, configurable changes to the Ender Dragon fight, and a horn that can summon a wandering trader. Interface options add particles to screens such as the anvil, enchantment table, furnace, and creative inventory, as well as more informative clock and compass tooltips and smoothly moving tooltips. Most modules can be configured independently, and world-related settings can be adjusted with data packs, including per-dimension overrides for options such as farmland moisture and crop temperatures.

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.
Sends crash reports
Sent to an address built while the game runs.
Only some of its files send crash reports.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
Its files for older Minecraft versions (1.18.2 to 1.20) also send usage statistics.
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.
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history 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.

Modpacks that include Andromeda in at least one of their versions, most downloaded first.
Mods that modpacks often add together with Andromeda. Share: how many of the modpacks with Andromeda also have that mod.
The newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The files for recent versions come first. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks.
In the last 2 years, 2 releases needed a quick fix: a new release within 3 days to fix a problem. This lowers the grade by 2 points.
