About
Hollow Steve is a horror campaign built around a stalker boss that begins as a distant presence, then hunts players through ten increasingly difficult phases; defeating the final phase unlocks a three-stage enraged fight’s conclusion and New Game+. Before the hunt, players may encounter distant appearances, footsteps, whispers, strange sounds, particles, Darkness, and other unsettling anomalies, while sleeping can be interrupted with a random message, Darkness, or a Creeper near the bed. Hollow Steve tracks players by sight and sound, remembers where it last detected them, and can pursue them on land or underwater, leap toward them, or use warned teleportation when a chase stalls or the target is far away. The hunt persists across the Overworld, Nether, End, and compatible modded dimensions without resetting the encounter, and Hollow Steve becomes stronger after each defeat as players advance through the campaign. In later phases, it can open doors, trapdoors, and fence gates, break selected lights and shelter blocks, and damage boats or minecarts, with destructive behavior adjustable in the server configuration. Each victory provides eligible players with personal supplies for the next phase, including potions, golden apples, shields, an enchanted bow, Netherite armor, and an enchanted Netherite sword; the final victory grants a larger package of blocks, apples, totems, and other rewards. The mod supports singleplayer, LAN, dedicated servers, and modpacks, with one shared progression encounter by default and configurable horror effects, sleep traps, hunting behavior, multiplayer scaling, rewards, and world interactions.

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. 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.54 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 37 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.
- 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 all 37 files, for recent Minecraft versions. 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
AI was used for its code, images and text
The author declares AI code and text on Modrinth.
OpenAI gpt-image is named in the images in its files.
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
