About
Framework is a developer library that reduces repetitive code and provides shared utilities for building mods, including multiloader projects. Its Open Model Format extends vanilla JSON block models with rotations beyond 22.5-degree increments and support for models larger than the usual size limits. Synced Data Keys let developers attach data to entities, sync it to clients automatically, save it across world reloads and server restarts, and optionally preserve it through death. Framework also simplifies registering login packets so developers can send data to clients during login.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Can download and run new code
- The same part of the code can download data and run it as code. Auto-updaters do this, and so does malware. Found in javassist, a library it includes and in reflections, a library it includes.Not a Warning: we read its code and found no code downloaded over http or run without a check.
- Accepts connections from other computers
- It can accept connections from other computers. Found in javassist, 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 3 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.
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.3 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.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, code history and pull requests 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.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Nothing found584 commits read

- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet

- 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
