    About

    Dead Air turns radio towers into broadcast stations, letting players discover and listen to different music as they explore. Stations include Bedrock Radio, Creatopia Radio, Jukebox FM, and Remix Radio, with optional internet streams and music stations discovered from expansion mods. Players tune built-in T1 and T2 radios using a retro dial or station selection, and the radio's signal strength depends on distance, line of sight, and weather; weak signals or poor tuning add static. With a radio on, entering a tower's range unlocks its station permanently, while standard towers work immediately and fenced or overrun towers must first be activated with a Radio Panel. Only one tuned radio plays at a time, and its volume follows signal strength. Listening while killing mobs can yield Static Notes, which players can collect and combine in groups of nine into a Resonant Chord for crafting radios and upgrades. A Signal Upgrade on a Radio Panel enables a T2 radio to link to that station from range, including across dimensions, and the linked radio follows the station if the panel is retuned. Players can also craft panels for their own bases, configure custom stations and playlists from audio files, and add tracks to built-in stations.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes the game's code in 2 areas: SoundChanges 4 game code files in this area: playing sounds, music and the sound engine. and PlayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls..

    Adds 5 blocks, 20 items, 3 mobs, 11 recipes, 36 advancements, 6 loot tables and 24 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.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files without running them.

    What it can do on your computer

    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 the mod's own code and in code libraries built into it. 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 · Both latest files checked, last on 25 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.
      2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are 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.

    Privacy

    We have not read its code yet

    The file checks found code that connects to the internet (see Security). What it sends is not known yet.

    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 · Code not read yet
    • 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.

    AI

    AI was used for its sound

    Suno is named in the sound files in its files.

    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.
