    About

    Colonies brings faction-style multiplayer play to Fabric, giving players a way to form groups, build bases, defend territory, and raid rival colonies for their claimed chunks. Colonies gain power based on their membership, while players gain power over time and lose it on death; if a colony claims more chunks than its power can support, rival colonies can override those claims. Claimed chunks prevent other players from interacting with them directly, but attackers can still use tactics such as TNT cannons or lava to breach defenses and reach resources. Players can manage colony membership and access by inviting, promoting, demoting, kicking, banning, or pardoning members, and can set a colony to public or invite-only. Colony commands also let players claim or unclaim the chunk they occupy, adjust animal and mob spawning in claimed chunks, and set or travel to a colony home.

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16.2 to 1.16.5.

    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 · The latest file 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.
      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.

    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16.2 to 1.16.5.

    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 · Its one file 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 its one file, for Minecraft 1.16.2 to 1.16.5. 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.
