About
BuildPaste Instant Structures connects Minecraft worlds to a community library of more than 15,000 player-made builds, making it easy to add ready-made structures without managing schematic files. The library spans houses, castles, towers, mansions, statues, custom trees, redstone constructions and OP-loot builds, with examples including a Medieval Village, Fantasy Nether Portal, Cyberskyscraper and 8x8 Piston Door. Choose a build on the BuildPaste site and paste it with the /paste command, or use the Build Placer to preview its position and rotate it before placement; the last paste can be undone. A terrain-friendly paste option leaves air blocks untouched, while survival players can use /construct to see the required materials and build using blocks in their inventory. Players can upload their own creations to the shared database, publish them for community feedback, or share a build privately using its link or unique ID. BuildPaste is also available as a server plugin, allowing players to use its build-pasting features on supported servers without installing the client mod.
Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it
In-game changes
Changes the game's code in 3 areas: World renderingChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing the terrain, sky, clouds and weather., Game coreChanges 1 game code file in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses. and Server and world logicChanges 1 game code file in this area: the world, commands, scoreboards, saved data and game rules..
Adds 2 items: Build Placer and Position Selector.
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.

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. It contacts 1 web address. 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 Fabric 26.1.2 to 26.3; NeoForge 1.21 to 26.3; Forge 1.21.1.
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.41 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 24 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.

Sends your player name, crash reports and unknown data
Sent to us-central1-buildpastemod.cloudfunctions.net and an address built while the game runs.
Only some of its files send your player name and unknown data.
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
- 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 24 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- us-central1-buildpastemod.cloudfunctions.netDownloads build data from the mod's online service.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.Unknown data
- Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.Uploads a build to the mod's online service. Downloads build data used by the mod.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.Your player name
- 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 and images 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
- 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.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found30 of 40 changelogs read

- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found
