About
Builder's Helper is an in-game building tool for copying and reusing structures, aimed at creative builders who want to work more simply than with complex external editors. With its Wand, you can select and save a structure as a blueprint, then place it again with a click, including at different rotations; saved structures can be shared as individual files rather than whole worlds. Blueprints can vary through random choices, use soft blocks that only replace air or water, and adapt materials to the biome, so the same plan can produce different results in different settings. The included examples range from a glass dome that works on land or underwater, a cottage, well, bridge and tree to a randomly varied tower, pirate or trader ship, balloon, dungeon, and practical plans for tunnels, water, topsoil, doors and traps. Plans can also define randomized chest loot and spawner contents, place or copy entities such as mobs and minecarts, and branch according to blocks or biomes; some can be set to generate in selected biomes as new chunks appear. The mod supports MCEdit Schematics and Ruins Templates, preserves block-entity data, and is intended for single-player building; once structures are placed, the finished world no longer needs the mod.

No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.8.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
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.1 latest file. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. 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
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.8.
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 Minecraft 1.8. 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 and images 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.
- 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
