About
Cosmetica lets players customize their characters with free, user-created cosmetics that are visible to others using the mod. Players can equip custom static or animated capes and elytras, plus accessories such as hats, shoulder buddies, back blings, shoes, and other pieces attached to different parts of the character. A second nametag, called lore, can display details such as pronouns, a title, or a Discord or Twitch identity. In-game and online catalogues let players browse cosmetics and preview them on their skin before equipping them, while users can design and upload their own creations. Players can also assemble outfits for quick changes, and armour stands can wear outfits. Cosmetica can display capes from services such as OptiFine, LabyMod, Cloaks+, Mantle, MinecraftCapes.net, and SkinMC, with individual settings for supported sources.

Security
No harmful code found
A Warning in its files for older Minecraft versions (1.18): it sends your Minecraft login token to an address built at run time, not to Mojang. With it, someone can use your account.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Accepts connections from other computers
- It can accept connections from other computers. Found in Cosmetica Core, a library it includes.
- Uses your Minecraft account login
- It can use the login of your Minecraft account, for example to join a server. Only in its files for Fabric 26.1 to 26.2; NeoForge 1.21 to 26.2; Forge 1.21 to 1.21.11.Not a Warning: we read its code and found no login token sent anywhere but Mojang.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer, for example to open a link in your browser. Found in common-io, a library it includes.
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: the temporary files folder, application data and your user folder.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in 5 libraries it includes. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.
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.33 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 18 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 programsPurpose not known.
- Uses folders outside the gameUses the temporary files folder.Uses the system folder for application data.Finds the Minecraft folder.
- 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
Sends your player ID and unknown data
Sent to sessionserver.mojang.com and an address built while the game runs.
Only some of its files send your player ID and unknown data.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
Its files for older Minecraft versions (1.18) also send your Minecraft login token and text to an AI service.
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 18 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- sessionserver.mojang.comTalks to the Minecraft login service. Talks to an online service the mod works with.Your player ID
- Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.Purpose not known.Unknown data
- 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, 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.
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.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Nothing found
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found40 changelogs read
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found38 images read

Known conflicts
These projects do not work together with Cosmetica: their authors or Cosmetica'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 Cosmetica, so you only need one.
