About
Biome Makeover refreshes four vanilla biomes with additions designed to fit naturally into modpacks: the Dark Forest, Swamp, Badlands, and Mushroom Fields. Each makeover adds its own mix of structures, plants, mobs, and mechanics, including a reworked Woodland Mansion, Sunken Ruins, Ghost Town, and Mushroom House. The biomes gain distinctive vegetation and world features, from ancient oaks and Illunite Fissures in the Dark Forest to glowshrooms, tall mushrooms, and enlarged, fungus-filled caves in the Mushroom Fields. New inhabitants include owls, rootlings, moths, stone golems, ghosts, mushroom traders, glowfish, and blightbats, with traders offering mushroom-themed goods. Curse Enchanting lets players use an altar and Illunite Shard to raise an existing enchantment by one level in exchange for a random curse, opening possibilities such as Fortune IV or Efficiency VI. The mod also adds themed blocks, equipment, food, and utilities, including glowshroom bricks, witch and cowboy hats, and items such as Bottle o’ Lightning. Much of its content can be customized through data packs, including witch quests and rewards, loot tables, and other settings.

Security
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. 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
- 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.7 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
- 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
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images, sounds and code history and found none.
We have not read its changelogs 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.Not on Modrinth.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Nothing found
- 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

- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found392 images read
- Sounds in its filesThe tags of the sound files in the files you download, where some AI music tools write their name.Nothing found40 of 136 sounds read
