About
Aurora's Decorations expands building and world design with decorative blocks and plants that also add practical uses, from new lighting and workstations to redstone features, block variants, and atmospheric biomes. Its furnishings include wood-type benches that players can sit on and customize with seat rests, dyeable pet beds, shelves, stumps, sign posts, sleeping bags, and log piles that can be stacked. Lighting options include wall- or ceiling-mounted candles, lanterns that can hang from walls and swing, and braziers in regular, soul, and copper-sulfate forms; copper-sulfate torches, lanterns, and campfires add green flames, and the campfires can decay leaves, mushroom blocks, and nether wart blocks placed above them. The amethyst lantern emits purple particles while preventing natural mob spawns within 32 blocks and speeding up nearby zombie-villager curing. For interactive decoration, blackboards, green chalkboards, and transparent glassboards can be drawn on with dyes and tools, copied, made to glow, and waxed to preserve a finished design. Other functional additions include a copper hopper for filtering items in redstone contraptions, large flower pots that hold tall plants and can support modded plants, and sleeping bags that let players and villagers sleep without setting a spawn point. World generation adds fallen trees in several tree types, sometimes surrounded by details such as rooted dirt, moss carpets, and glow lichen, as well as way signs that point toward nearby landmarks such as villages. The Lavender Plains biome is filled with lavender and includes oak, fancy oak, and birch trees, with an increased chance of trees bearing beehives. The mod aims to make its block variants work with additions from other mods through runtime registry analysis, and its fallen trees can also be added to biomes using datapacks and biome tags.

Security
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.
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.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one 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.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, 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 description, files and images and found none.
We have not read its changelogs and 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.

- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
