    About

    Infernal Expansion is a community-built, vanilla-styled mod that broadens the Nether with additions to familiar biomes and new places to explore. It adds nine mobs across the Nether, including Volines in the Nether Wastes, Shroomloins in Crimson Forests, Warpbeetles in Warped Forests, Embodies in Soul Sand Valleys, Basalt Giants in the Basalt Deltas, and Glowsquitos, Blindsights, Glowsilk Moths, and Blackstone Dwarves around the Glowstone Canyon. These creatures have distinct interactions: Volines can be fed Magma Cream and, once full, Gold items to produce gold nuggets and Molten Gold; Shroomloins can change fungus variants when fed; and Warpbeetles hunt spiders and can shed into a new Chorus Fruit pattern. The Glowstone Canyon is a hazardous new biome of towering Glowstone formations, Shimmer Sand, pits, overhangs, and Dullthorns, where light-seeking Glowsquitos drain Glowstone into Dimstone and Dullstone and produce Glowcoke that can be used to make Glowlight items. Other discoveries include Soul Shrines, Strider Altars with possible hidden chests, Desolate Bastion Outposts to raid, buried bones, and Heaven Portals, alongside new building materials such as Soul Slate, Basalt Bricks, and Glowlight Glass. The mod also adds weapons, food, effects, and other practical features: the Blindsight Tongue Whip attacks at range and knocks enemies back, Glowsilk Bows fire dust-coated arrows that illuminate their path, and Luminance potions light the way or burn undead when thrown. Additional changes include throwable Fire Charges, renewable Shroomlight Tears, Nether travel and respawn commands, and in-game configuration for options such as biome selection, mob spawning, and hostility. Its Nether biome provider can also incorporate biomes from other mods that use the “nether” tag, and it adds specific integrations such as Glow Sconces from Supplementaries and Large Glow Lanterns from Dustrial Decor.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16.3 to 1.19.2.

    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.

    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 · All 7 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • 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.
      7 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 1.16.3 to 1.19.2.

    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 · All 7 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.
      The code of all 7 files, for Minecraft 1.16.3 to 1.19.2. 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 description, files, images, sounds and code history 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 · 7 places read
