About
Araxer’s Bestiary is an in-game creature guide that helps players understand mobs and plan encounters or farms by showing their attributes, spawn information, descriptions, and loot. It discovers hostile and modded entities automatically, presents entries in a searchable interface with 3D mob previews, and can include loot drops and estimated or observed drop chances. By default, creature knowledge is earned through E-to-S ranks that advance deterministically with points for interactions such as defeating, feeding, trading with, taming, breeding, or observing entities with a spyglass; optional chance-based and kill-count progression are also available. Players can instead use sighting progression to discover creatures and unlock information by observing them with a spyglass, while configurable visibility can keep undiscovered entries or details hidden until earned. After reaching rank S, optional Rank-X challenges provide a further mastery goal, and notifications and a global progress bar can help track advancement. The Bestiary can read real loot tables and optionally refine drop chances through gameplay tracking; datapacks can add or override the loot information it displays, including for modded entities.

Security
No harmful code found in the parts we could check
We checked its files and read their code.
2 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
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. In a bundled library, Forge Config API Port. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21.1. See Privacy
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. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.9 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 7 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. 2 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. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read
- 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.
- Creates settings filesIn the classes MobFilterSpawnIntegrator, ForgeConfigAPIPortFabric and ForgeConfigApiPortConfig.
- Connects to the internetIn the classes FileNotFoundAction, ConfigWriter and ConfigParser.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends, in the 5 of its 7 files we read
We read its code: 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. 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 5 of 7 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
The author declares AI code and text on Modrinth
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.
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.Declares AI code, text. No AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its README.Not read yet
