About
Automatic Chat Translator translates incoming messages and your outgoing chat into a selected language, helping you communicate across language barriers on Minecraft servers. It can detect a message’s language, show the original text and detected language when you hover over a translation, and switch your selected language to the detected one when you click the translated text. You can set a preferred language for all messages, and optionally use OpenAI GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 translation to preserve chat formatting; DeepL translation requires a DeepL API key, while OpenAI translation requires a paid OpenAI API key.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- 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
- Sends the text you write to OpenAI
- The code calls an AI service over the internet, for example to write text or make images. You provide your own key.
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. 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
- Sends the text you write to OpenAI
api.openai.com - 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.
Privacy
Sends text to an AI service and what you type in its screens
Sent to api-free.deepl.com and api.openai.com.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
Its files for older Minecraft versions (1.18.1 to 1.19.2) also send unknown data.
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
- api-free.deepl.comPurpose not known.Text you type in its screens
- api.openai.comSends text to OpenAI to translate chat.Text to an AI service
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.
Can use AI in the game
Can send the text you write to OpenAI (you provide your own key).
We found this in its code, read without running it.
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.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Not read yet
- 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
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found
- Code of the modThe code and files of the mod, read without running it: addresses of AI services, AI libraries, AI model files and a place for your own AI key.Can use AI in the game:26 code files read
- Can send the text you enter to OpenAI. The address is written in the code of the mod.
- Can talk to AI services that work like OpenAI's. You or the author choose which one.
- You provide your own API key.
