About
Dawn of the Flood brings Halo’s parasitic Flood into Minecraft as an expanding infection and invasion, challenging players to survive and contain the threat as its forces spread. Flood enemies include Pod Infectors, Carrier, Maw, Tyrant and Juggernaut forms, aquatic Flood Tadpoles, and infected Marine and Sangheili forms; Tadpoles can mature into Pod Infectors, while the Maw can burrow and summon Bomber Sacks. The Flood spreads through waves and infected terrain, forming Blightlands and hives; Proto Graveminds can generate Coreminds, and hordes path toward players as stronger forms enter the conflict. Infected fluids and terrain bring environmental hazards, including toxic acid that causes burning damage and Sporing, which can infect animals and turn them into corpses that develop into deficient forms. The invasion also brings Halo weapons and combat gear, including the MA5B assault rifle, SRS sniper rifles, Disruptor, Mangler, Brute Shot, energy sword, plasma and fragmentation grenades, and a health pack; guns use craftable components and can feature headshots, scopes, and night vision. Flood forms can wield guns, while powerful enemies such as the Juggernaut use area attacks and can strengthen nearby Flood with a Death Aura. The invasion is accompanied by animated enemies, weapons and items, cinematic sequences, and atmospheric effects such as spreading fog and custom sound and screen effects. Two loot-filled UNSC laboratories serve as explorable structures, and configuration options let players disable mod structures or the ship crash and choose which supported guns Flood forms use.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 2 files 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.1 latest file, for a recent version. 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
- 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 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, sounds 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 found26 of 40 changelogs read
