    About

    Citadel is a library that provides other Minecraft mods with tools for advanced entity animation and entity properties, rather than adding substantial gameplay content of its own. It supports loading Tabula and Wavefront OBJ models, and offers rendering and gameplay hooks including runtime texture coloring with color maps, living-entity renderer events, and controls for player cloaks and tick rates. Its framework also includes events for adding or replacing biomes during world generation, animating items under the mouse, and supplying start-screen splash text. A configuration option lets users change the cap on mobs spawned during chunk generation, which can help preserve the availability of vanilla mobs when using mods that add many creatures.

    Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes the game's code in 9 areas, as a library other mods build on: Server and world logicChanges 5 game code files in this area: the world, commands, scoreboards, saved data and game rules., Rendering and graphicsChanges 3 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen., World generationChanges 2 game code files in this area: terrain, biomes and structures made when new land is created., World renderingChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing the terrain, sky, clouds and weather., User interfaceChanges 1 game code file in this area: menus, screens, tooltips, the chat window and the in-game overlay., SoundChanges 1 game code file in this area: playing sounds, music and the sound engine., PlayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls., Inventory and itemsChanges 1 game code file in this area: items, chests and other containers, crafting and enchanting. and Mobs and their behaviorChanges 1 game code file in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act..

    Adds 1 block: Lectern; 5 items: Citadel Book, Citadel Debugger, Potion Effect, Fancy Item and Icon Item.

    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

    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 NeoForge 1.21 to 1.21.11.
    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer, for example to open a link in your browser.
    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.

    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 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.
      17 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 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.
    • Starts other programs
      Purpose not known.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      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 1 web address 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 · Both 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.

    • raw.githubusercontent.com
      Downloads the list of Patreon contributors to unlock their rewards.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.
    • 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

    An AI tool may have been used

    GitHub Copilot (code review) and GitHub Copilot (coding agent) took part in its pull requests.

    This does not show that it was used to make the files you download.

    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.

    Known conflicts

    These projects do not work together with Citadel: their authors or Citadel's author say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Citadel, so you only need one.
