    About

    Better Creatures expands Minecraft exploration and survival with more than 40 creatures, including animals, monsters, fantasy beings, aliens, and figures inspired by folklore and mythology from around the world. Its roster includes a Gray Alien, Cyclops, Goblin and Shaman Goblin, Hippo, Koala, Lion, Vampire, Werewolf, Kappa, and Draflygh, alongside the Egyptian mythological Ammit and Brazilian folklore figures Saci, Headless Mule, and Curupira. The mod also adds the Sugilite and Benitoite ores, Sugitoite, described as a blend of the two, and new food items to find during adventures.

    Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.17.1.

    Adds 5 blocks, 176 items, 54 entities, 53 recipes and 6 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.

    Security

    No harmful code found in the parts we could check

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.17.1.

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

    One of its files cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download it from CurseForge.

    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 · 5 of 6 latest files checked, last on 16 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.
      6 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
    • 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, in the 5 of its 6 files we read

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.17.1.

    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 · 5 of 6 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 5 of 6 files, for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.17.1. 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 and sounds 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.
