About
Deeper Dark adds a sculk-filled dimension of caves and caverns where exploration combines treasure hunting with dangerous encounters. Its main biome features abundant sculk, blue fog, fossil deposits containing diamonds, sculk traps, and ancient villages; other regions include cavernous expanses with ancient fortresses, volcanic caverns with basalt and a central lava river, and amethyst mines covered in amethyst, calcite, and smooth basalt. The Deep Oasis offers a contrasting sculk-free refuge high in the caves, with plants, hanging vines, and sniffer nests, while the Ancient Dark is a red-fogged cavern of deep sculk, bone-block formations, and lava lakes, enclosed by an obsidian barrier. Structures include smaller ancient villages, castle-like ancient fortresses with combat loot, sculk traps containing enchanted books and experience bottles, amethyst mineshafts with farms and supply rooms, and damaged laboratories hidden in the Ancient Dark. Amethyst mineshafts are patrolled by fast, powerful Shockwaves, which players can evade by sheltering against a wall and enclosing themselves in blocks; the mineshafts also hold altar fragments used to build and upgrade sculk converters. In the Ancient Dark, touching sculk alerts the biome and begins spawning wardens, making its unique sculk blocks and laboratories especially hazardous to explore. Sculk converters turn items into new resources and equipment using experience and soul fire, and can also add compatible enchantments to items; recipes include reinforced deepslate, activated sculk shriekers, and blindness potions. The dimension introduces sculk enchantments such as Clearsight, which protects against blindness and dark fog, Sonic Boom, which lets players use a warden-like ranged attack, Darkspeed, which boosts movement in complete darkness, and Shrieker Sense, which reveals shriekers through walls. Entry is through a portal in an ancient city, using an echo shard, and leaving requires an enchanted shard at another reinforced deepslate; a nearby warden prevents departure until it moves away or despawns.

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
- 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.11 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 6 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
- 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 6 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 so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its 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.No AI content or AI features declared.
