Introduces Dark Souls in Minecraft.
48.1 of the 71 points that apply = 68 out of 100. The points above are rounded to whole numbers.
Dark Souls Expansion brings a Dark Souls-inspired adventure to Minecraft while retaining the vanilla game’s core feel, centering play on exploration, combat and equipment progression in the new Lordran dimension. To reach Lordran, players gather eight ruin fragments in the Gravestone Yard, combine them with an Undead Soul to make Artorias Crest, then place the crest in a church found in the world. In Lordran, players can explore dungeons and structures including Undead Burg, Undead Parish, Sen’s Fortress, the Undead Asylum, a sanctuary and the Catacombs, confronting bosses such as the Asylum Demon, Pinwheel and gargoyles. The mod adds more than 45 animated weapons, over 15 armor sets and more than 20 creatures, alongside bosses and loot to find as players explore. Bonfires and churches feature in the world, while the blacksmith Andre offers a soul-based trading system for weapons and items, unlocked by giving him a Large Amber.
Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it
Does not change the game's code directly.
Adds 63 blocks, 193 items, 27 mobs, 6 other entities, 3 biomes, 1 dimension, 11 structures, 8 recipes, 5 advancements, 16 loot tables and 38 sounds.
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 in the parts we could check
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
One of its files for recent versions cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download it from CurseForge.
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.
We found nothing it sends, in the 1 of its 2 files we read
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.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds 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.
