    About

    Black Archive brings Doctor Who technology, creatures, and threats into Minecraft, with equipment and mechanics that support exploration of time, space, and the TARDIS. Its tools include the Vortex Manipulator for travel between locations, an upgradeable sonic screwdriver with modes for tasks such as opening iron doors, lighting redstone lamps, scanning mobs, and setting a bound TARDIS's destination, plus AR contact lenses, a TARDIS-summoning Stattenheim Remote, a Superphone that alerts the TARDIS to your coordinates, and the Tissue Compression Eliminator. The Vortex Manipulator can cause a time fissure when used near other temporal engines, while its cooldown and permitted dimensions can be configured through the relevant settings. Exploration can lead to Cyber Tombs, Silurian Hives, and graveyards on Earth, or Dalek ships and Cyber Ships in space, where players may encounter Cybermen, Silurians, Daleks, Cybermats, and Dalek Death Squads. Dalek Nanocloud can infect players and gradually transform them into Dalek Puppets, while Cybermats can convert victims into Cybermen; Dalek Bracelets can prevent or reverse Nanocloud infection. Space poses hazards including suffocation and drifting away, so landed TARDISes provide a limited gravity-and-oxygen shell, and powered gravity and oxygen field generators offer another way to create survivable areas. The mod also extends TARDIS consoles with telepathic controls that can locate structures through telepathic emissions, allow the TARDIS to park in temporal orbit, or freeze nearby creatures at a substantial power cost.

    Written from Modrinth . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes the game's code in 4 areas: Rendering and graphicsChanges 2 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen., World renderingChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing the terrain, sky, clouds and weather., PlayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls. and Mobs and their behaviorChanges 1 game code file in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act..

    A library packed inside it changes 2 more game code files: Forge Config API Port.

    Adds 8 blocks, 25 items, 4 mobs, 1 projectile, 3 other entities, 3 biomes, 3 dimensions, 6 structures, 26 recipes and 10 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

    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. Found in the mod's own code and in Forge Config API Port, a library it includes. See Privacy
    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 4 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.
      4 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 4 are 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 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.
      Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends about you

    We read its code without running it: it contacts 2 web addresses while you play.

    Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.

    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 · All 4 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 all 4 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • sessionserver.mojang.com
      Talks to an online service the mod works with.
    • Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.
      Purpose not known.
    • 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 texts, files, images and sounds and found none.

    We have not read its 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.
