    About

    Auroral turns cold biomes into a setting for aurora-driven crafting and survival progression: during aurora events, Glacial Basins collect Liquid Aura, Shimmersteel gear repairs itself, and Aurora Blooms sprout on snow before wilting at daybreak. Use a Glacial Basin to refine materials into Shimmersteel Ingots, Shimmerweave Fabric, Aurora Shards, and Shimmering Ice, then upgrade iron equipment into specialized tools and armor. Shimmersteel gear offers abilities such as gem-focused Fortune on the pickaxe, forced copper oxidation with the axe, Silk Touch on the shovel, and a sword that slows and can execute weakened enemies; Shimmerweave pieces reveal nearby hostiles, extinguish fire, improve movement on snow or soul sand, or enable skating across ice. A Cold Brewing Stand lets players brew without Nether ingredients, using snowballs in place of Blaze Powder and Frozen Petals in place of Nether Wart. The winter flora and blocks include Aurora Blooms that yield Frozen Petals, Glow Leeks grown on Shimmering Ice for Night Vision, long-burning Hearthwood Logs that protect against frostbite and can catalyze auroras, and Aurora Lanterns that guard against the Darkness effect. Players can also raise a Snowlette companion that follows and sits like a tamed wolf, heals when struck by snowballs, and emits aurora sparkles. The wider content includes tamed, rideable Auroral Nautili that appear during aurora events, plus Shimmer Soil for growing crops in the snow.

    Written from Modrinth and the GitHub README . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes the game's code in 1 area: Networking and multiplayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: connections, the server list and what is sent between your game and a server..

    Adds 12 blocks, 29 items, 2 mobs, 1 projectile, 33 recipes, 15 advancements and 14 sounds.

    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

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

    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. Only in its files for NeoForge 1.21.11. 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 · All 4 latest files checked, last on 23 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.
      4 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 4 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. 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.
    • 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.
    • Modrinth and CurseForgeA release with a different file on Modrinth and on CurseForge, whose code is not the same. Each file is checked on its own. Nothing is blocked.

      code differs in 2 releases

    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 · All 4 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.
      The code of all 4 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

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images, sounds 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.
