    About

    Base Metals expands Minecraft’s metalworking with naturally occurring metals, alloys, equipment, and building materials, alongside fantasy metals with distinctive properties. Its natural metals include copper, silver, tin, lead, zinc, mercury, nickel, and platinum, while its alloys include bronze, brass, steel, invar, electrum, cupronickel, and pewter. Ores can be processed into powders and smelted into ingots; combining metal powders and smelting the resulting blend produces alloys such as copper-and-tin bronze or iron-and-carbon steel. The crack hammer crushes ores and other eligible blocks into their powdered ingredients, with many metal ores yielding two powders, and can also crush dropped items when used on the ground beneath them. Fantasy materials include Nether-sourced Cold Iron and Adamantine, End-sourced Starsteel, and crafted Aquarium and Mithril. These materials add specialized effects: Cold Iron improves combat against fire-immune creatures and grants a full suit Fire Resistance; Adamantine armor grants Resistance; Aquarium armor provides underwater breathing and protection; Mithril weapons are effective against undead; and held Starsteel equipment repairs itself while Starsteel armor helps its wearer jump higher and fall more slowly. The mod also supports bows, arrows, crossbows, and bolts whose damage varies by material, and offers High Fantasy and Low Fantasy content modes.

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

    In-game changes

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files without running them.

    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. 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 · All 18 latest files checked, last on 24 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.
      18 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 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.
      Read in 1 of 2 files, without running it
    • 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, in the 1 of its 2 files we read

    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 · 1 of 2 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 1 of 2 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

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