    About

    Dark Utilities expands vanilla Minecraft with practical utility blocks, items, and mechanics for automation, mob handling, redstone, and player convenience. Its vector plates push entities along a rotatable path, with faster tiers; Import and Export Plates also move items into or out of nearby inventories. Mob filters let selected groups pass through while blocking others, with options for players, hostile mobs, animals, villagers, undead, and more; sneaking inverts a filter, and redstone can disable it. Flat plates and traps can damage or apply effects such as poison, slowness, fire, blindness, or glowing to entities that cross them, and redstone can disable many of these effects. For item handling and farm setups, the mod includes an Ender Hopper that collects nearby items into a connected inventory, an Item Grate that lets items fall through, and an Anchor Plate that holds mobs facing a chosen direction. Redstone utilities include a randomizer that emits power intermittently and shielded redstone that sends a signal from only one side; Dark Glass transmits vision but blocks light, while Soul Glass emits a signal when it touches lava. The Slime Crucible turns compostable items into Slime Points for crafting, while Powder Pouches convert blocks between variants and can be used in dispensers; additional recipes can be supplied by modpacks or other mods. Charms provide passive benefits such as faster passage through portals, reduced insomnia and phantom risk, quicker experience pickup, and eating without delay. Other additions include tomes for rerolling enchantment options or applying decorative alphabets to signs, blocks, and mobs, plus slime eggs that spawn slimes without changing spawners. Tooltips on the mod’s blocks and items briefly explain their functions.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    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 · All 51 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.
      51 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 10 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.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    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 · All 10 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.
      The code of all 10 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • 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, code history and pull requests 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.
