Last releaseHow long ago the newest file came out, or an existing file was marked as working on a new Minecraft version.6 months ago (20 Apr 2026). 257 modpacks released in the last 6 months still include it, so it keeps 71% of these points.Supports popular versionsWhether the project has a file for a Minecraft version that 15% or more of the popular mods updated in the last 6 months also support. A version many modpacks use, like 1.20.1 or 1.21.1, also counts after a release in the last 12 months.26.1.2 on Fabric, 1.21.11 on NeoForge, 1.21.10 on Forge. 15% or more of the popular mods updated in the last 6 months also have files for 26.1.2.

Removed from modpacksHow many modpacks removed it in a later version of the pack. We can only see this in modpacks with two or more versions. A pack that swaps it for another edition of the same project, or that is rebuilt from scratch, does not count.93 of the 328 modpacks with two or more versions removed it in a later one (28%)Quick fixesHow often a release needed a quick fix: a new release within 3 days to fix a problem in it.No quick fix in 2 yearsKnown conflictsHow many projects say they do not work with it, compared with how widely it is used. Packs, small projects, forks, ports, add-ons, alternatives and old versions do not count.3 of 5 known conflicts count in the grade See the 5 known conflictsTransparency

About
Exordium reduces the rendering workload of Minecraft’s interface by drawing the vanilla HUD and screens at a configurable, lower fixed framerate, freeing CPU and GPU time for rendering the world. It applies this approach to interface elements including the hotbar, crosshair, boss bars, status overlays, titles, scoreboard, chat, and debug screen.
Written from Modrinth and the GitHub README . How we write it
In-game changes
Changes the game's code in 3 areas: User interfaceChanges 5 game code files in this area: menus, screens, tooltips, the chat window and the in-game overlay., Rendering and graphicsChanges 2 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen. and Game coreChanges 1 game code file in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses..
Libraries packed inside it change 5 more game code files: TRansition and TRender.
Adds no new blocks, items or other content.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21.8 to 26.1.2; NeoForge 1.21.8 to 1.21.11; Forge 1.21.8 to 1.21.10.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21.8 to 26.1.2; NeoForge 1.21.8 to 1.21.11; Forge 1.21.8 to 1.21.10. 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
- 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.25 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 15 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.
- Uses folders outside the gameUses the temporary files folder.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
Sends crash reports
Sent to an address built while the game runs.
Only some of its files send crash reports.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
The author declares on Modrinth that it sends crash reports or usage data only if you agree.
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 15 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.Uploads crash reports or logs.From a bundled library.Crash reports
- Named in its filesA crash report or usage data service named in the files of the mod. The code does not show when or what is sent.The code names Sentry, a service that receives crash reports.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images 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 found40 changelogs read
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found1 image read
- Code of the modThe code and files of the mod, read without running it: addresses of AI services, AI libraries, AI model files and a place for your own AI key.No AI service, AI library or AI model file915 code files read

Known conflicts
These projects do not work together with Exordium: their authors or Exordium's author say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Exordium, so you only need one.
