About
Hexlink is a Hex Casting addon that lets spells interact with in-game elements such as entities, blocks, items, potion effects, and enchantments through reusable spirits. Players can extract spirits from entities with extraction crystals, store and transfer them using containers, bags, or tablets, and manifest them onto positions or entities; for example, a Shears Spirit can shear a sheep, while Iron Golem, Wolf, and Bone Spirits can be combined to summon and tame a wolf-riding golem. A summoned media vortex can temporarily hold spirits and, when supplied with the right sequence, mix them into new spirits, with recipes available to consult through EMI. The upgraded spellbook can use its own stack to pass iotas into and out of spells and can cast when right-clicked, while a programmable, colorable Special Staff runs its stored spell when the user draws a pattern and can be configured to process that pattern in different ways. Hexlink also provides spirit-holding bags and tablets, along with custom two-color pigments that can be found in chests or crafted. Datapacks can define custom spirits and vortex recipes, including recipes that simulate smelting, burning, crafting patterns, composting, or mixing pigments.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.19 to 1.19.4.
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. Only in its files for Fabric 1.19.2 to 1.19.4; Quilt 1.19.2.
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.4 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. 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.
- 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
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.19 to 1.19.4.
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 all 4 files, for Minecraft 1.19 to 1.19.4. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
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
- 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.
