About
Ducky Updater: ReWork is a utility for checking and updating Fabric mods and datapacks through the Modrinth API, without relying on third-party launchers. It lets users check for updates, update all items or select particular mods and datapacks by identifiers, and exclude chosen items from updates. Update behavior can be configured to check on startup, download files in parallel or sequentially, and archive old files, delete them, or mark them with a .disable suffix. Commands are available for both clients and servers, with server-side commands restricted to operators.
Written from Modrinth . How we write it

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
The author declares on Modrinth that this mod interacts with your system outside the game.
What it can do on your computer
- Accepts connections from other computers
- It can accept connections from other computers. Found in ktor-network-jvm, a library it includes.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer, for example to open a link in your browser. Found in sqlite-jdbc, a library it includes.
- 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 8 libraries it includes. See Privacy
- 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.
- Uses your Minecraft account login
- It can use the login of your Minecraft account, for example to join a server. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21.5 to 1.21.11.Not a Warning: we read its code and found no login token sent anywhere but Mojang.
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.10 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 8 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
- Starts other programsCan run system commands.
- Uses your Minecraft account loginUses your account login to join a server.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
Sends usage statistics, and uses your Minecraft login
Sent to api.fstats.dev.
Only some of its files send usage statistics.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
Its files for older Minecraft versions (1.19.2 to 1.19.4) also send data we could not identify.
The author declares on Modrinth that it sends crash reports or usage data unless you turn this off.
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 8 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases

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
