About
Aura Cascade is a magic mod built around solving complex problems through an innovative power system that is difficult to fully optimize, with its features documented in an in-game book. Its examples include power splitters, on/off switches, alternating pumps, a pulsar setup, and a basic smelting machine, alongside bookshelf-based storage and fairies that float around the player to provide buffs.
Written from CurseForge . How we write it

It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.9.
Adds 45 blocks, 100 items and 6 enchantments.
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.

No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.9.
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. It can open a web link or a file.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. It contacts 1 web address. 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, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. 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.Folders outside the game, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

Sends unknown data
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.9.
Sent to api.gameanalytics.com.
Only some of its files send unknown data.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
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 all 3 files, for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.9. See each file in Releases
- raw.githubusercontent.comChecks for a new version of the mod.Nothing about you
- api.gameanalytics.comPurpose not known.Unencrypted (http)Plain http: what is sent to this address is not encrypted on the way.Unknown data
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images, sounds and code history 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.
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.Not on Modrinth.
