    About

    Blocks You Need is a survival-ready block collection for expanding building options with designs integrated into the Minecraft world, spanning sci-fi, industrial, steampunk, Vanilla+ and magical themes. It adds more than 1,000 blocks, each with its own crafting recipes, including factory materials such as pipes, wrought windows, beams and ventilation blocks; sci-fi facility doors and panels; and decorative options such as carved logs, wallpapers, paths, shingles and gravestones. Its block and material range includes distinctive additions such as Regalith, Sodalite, Sunstone, Moonstone, Jade, Illumina, Rose Gold, Labrat panels and console screens, with some console variants that blink. The mod also adds small world-generation features, including tar lakes and ocean features, while avoiding fundamental changes to world generation so it can be used in existing worlds. Fluid interactions provide renewable ways to obtain stones and other materials: for example, Blood over Magma creates Glance, Tar over Water creates Sodalite, and Liquid Illumina over Raw Iron creates Regalith. Some blocks have functional behaviors alongside their decorative uses: aqueducts can carry nearby water, Wheat Sand has a quicksand-like sinking effect, and flowing fluids can repair or convert Labrat panels. The Create integration adds alternate ways to make materials through processing, including mixing, pressing, cutting, crushing and haunting recipes. Per-world settings can be changed without reloading through the mod's configuration command, including controls for features such as Photovolt output, selected world-generation features and renewable fluid recipes.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files without running them.

    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. Only in its files for Forge 1.20.1. See Privacy

    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 8 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.
      8 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 4 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 4 files, 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, in the 1 of its 4 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 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 1 of 4 files, for recent Minecraft versions. 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.

    How we checked · 6 places read
