    Malware: it downloads and runs hidden code

    Found in these files: fabzoom-2.0.0+26.2.jar (18 Jul 2026), fabzoom-2.0.0+26.2.jar (2.0.0-OLD, 16 Jul 2026) and fabzoom-2.0.0+1.21.11.jar (15 Jul 2026). Their downloads are blocked.

    We found this in its code, read without running it.

    Because of this malware, it has no grade.

    If you installed it

    1. Remove fabzoom-2.0.0+26.2.jar and its other files with malware from your mods folder.
    2. Run a full scan with your antivirus.
    3. Check your other mods.

    What it can do on your computer

    Downloads and runs hidden codeMalware
    The code downloads code from a fixed address and runs it in the game. The address is hidden in the code, or this happens as soon as the code is loaded, as in the fractureiser malware. Only in its files for Fabric 26.1 to 26.2.
    Hides a web addressWarning
    A web address (file.garden) is encoded in its code, so it cannot be read in the file. Only in its files for Fabric 26.1 to 26.2.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online. It contacts 1 web address. See Privacy
    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21.11.
    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 1.21.11.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    Runs code it downloads

    Code downloaded from file.garden runs in the game. What that code sends is not known.

    We found this in its code, read without running it.

    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 · Both files read
    • 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

    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.
