    About

    BuildCraft is a technology mod centered on moving items, fluids and mechanical power through configurable pipes, while adding machinery for mining, construction, processing and automation. Its pipe types include wooden, cobblestone, stone, sandstone, iron, gold, diamond, emerald and obsidian; pipe sealant enables fluid transport, while redstone makes kinesis pipes for mechanical energy. The Builders and Factory content includes the quarry, builder, filler, mining well, pump, tanks and an automatic workbench, while the Energy module adds oil, fuel, Stirling engines and combustion engines. Silicon adds logic gates and laser equipment, including laser tables and assembly and integration tables, and Robotics adds robots with zone planning and trigger-and-action logic. Pipe gates can respond to triggers and actions, and diamond pipes offer round-robin item sorting; configurable power options can also connect BuildCraft’s Minecraft Joules system with Redstone Flux.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.3.2 to 1.12.2.

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

    What it can do on your computer

    Uses folders outside the game
    It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Only in its files for Forge 1.7.2 to 1.8.9; 1.8.9.
    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer, for example to open a link in your browser. Only in its files for Forge 1.7.2 to 1.8.9; 1.8.9.
    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 1.3.2 to 1.8.9; 1.5.1 to 1.8.9. See Privacy
    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. Only in its files for Forge 1.7.10 to 1.8.9; 1.8.9.

    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 17 latest files checked, last on 15 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.
      17 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.

    Privacy

    Sends your player name

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.3.2 to 1.12.2.

    Sent to sessionserver.mojang.com.

    Only some of its files send your player name.

    We found this in its code, read without running it.

    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 17 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.

      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 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.
