About
Danny’s Expansion is a fantasy-themed Minecraft mod intended to broaden the game’s progression; its documented 1.16.5 content is a substantial addition, while the separately described 1.18.2 version was being rebuilt and lacked many older features. The documented content adds hostile creatures with distinct attacks and effects, including poison-spitting Black Scorpions, cursed-flame-shooting Cursed Skulls, slimes, Ice Elementals that slow targets, and Possessed Armor that can heal itself with a honey bottle. New locations include jungle Klifour Clusters, where groups of poisonous-projectile-firing plant mobs gather, and ocean Angler’s Treasure structures containing resource piles and a chest that can rarely hold an Ebbewel accessory. Accessories provide specialized abilities: the Ayerstone can send sand blasts with attacks, the Sand Necklace summons a mummy soul to knock back enemies, and the Ebbewel grants short, steerable bursts of speed while swimming. Players can craft an Antique armor set from Strange Alloy dropped by Possessed Armor, and make a Scorpion Sword using Scorpion Glands; the Frost Bow also supports rapid-fire arrows while held. The mod also includes craftable decorative kites and trophy kites earned by defeating mobs, plus a throwable Spore Bomb that creates a damaging spore cloud and a Blue Slime item that summons a mount for high jumps and brief fast travel.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16.3 to 1.18.2.
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 Forge 1.18.2.
- 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
- 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.3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. 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
- Uses folders outside the gameFinds the Minecraft folder.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, 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 1.16.3 to 1.18.2.
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 all 3 files, for Minecraft 1.16.3 to 1.18.2. 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, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its changelogs and code history 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.
