About
Exchangers is a tech-themed gadget mod for swapping blocks in an area, avoiding the need to break and replace them manually. It offers durability-based vanilla exchangers, including wood, stone, gold, iron, diamond, emerald, obsidian, end, copper, amethyst and netherite variants, alongside special Tuberous, Bee and Creative models. Energy-powered tiers are also available for Ender IO and Ender IO Endergy, Thermal Expansion, Mekanism and Immersive Engineering, with named ranges such as Leadstone through Resonant for Thermal Expansion, Basic through Ultimate for Mekanism, and LV, MV and HV for Immersive Engineering. Exchangers progress through tiers, with upgrades improving their harvest level; ordinary models can exchange areas up to 15 by 15 depending on tier, while the Creative Exchanger can reach 25 by 25. Users can choose Plane, Horizontal Column or Vertical Column exchange patterns, adjust range, and configure options such as directional placement, forced item drops, voiding exchanged items and percentage-based fuzzy placement. Energy capacity, energy use per block and recipe difficulty can be configured, and vanilla exchangers can be repaired with the appropriate materials in an anvil. Exchangers can draw replacement blocks from compatible item containers when the player's main inventory has none, and support Silk Touch and Fortune behavior as well as capacity and energy-use enchantments for energy-based models.

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.
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.9 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one 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
- 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
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and code history and found none.
We have not read its changelogs 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.Not on Modrinth.
