About
Archipelago Mod connects Minecraft to Archipelago, a cross-game randomizer that combines multiple games into a shared multiplayer experience where players can find and send items for one another. Minecraft advancements act as checks: completing one sends an item into the Archipelago network, while items found in other games can unlock Minecraft recipes and abilities that would otherwise be restricted. The randomizer’s item pool can include progression recipes for tools and weapons, abilities such as jumping, sprinting, sleeping, smelting, and trading, experience, random supplies such as planks or ore, and optional traps that can reverse controls, add ice physics, or spawn lit TNT. Players can adjust difficulty by enabling or disabling Archipelago items, and the optional Itemsanity setting turns most obtainable Survival blocks and items into additional checks. Settings can exclude optional locations grouped as Hard, Exploration, or Unreasonable, letting players omit time-consuming challenges or ones that demand extensive exploration. The mod supports both single-player worlds and multiplayer servers, connecting them to an Archipelago game so that Minecraft checks and items can participate in the shared randomizer.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Accepts connections from other computers
- It can accept connections from other computers. Found in Java-WebSocket, a library it includes and in httpcore5, a library it includes.
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: application data and your user folder.
- 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 5 libraries 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
- 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
- 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.
- Uses folders outside the gameUses the system folder for application data.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.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
- 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
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds 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.No AI content or AI features declared.
