About
Inspirations adds configurable, vanilla-style features across building, recipes, tools, tweaks, and utility, with individual features or entire modules able to be disabled. For building and decoration, it offers interactive bookshelves that hold books and contribute to enchanting, colored light-producing bushes, glass doors and trapdoors, colored mulch, several styles of paths, and ropes or chains that can extend downward from blocks. Its crafting and cauldron additions include anvil smashing, which can break glass or turn stone into cobblestone, and cauldrons that support custom recipes and can hold fluids, stews, dyes, and potions; dropped items can trigger recipes for automated processing. Cauldrons also support brewing potions over fire, tipping arrows, applying potion effects to mobs that enter them, and mixing or bottling dyed water for dyeing armor and wool. Survival tools and mechanics include a barometer for estimating altitude, compasses that point to beacons or true north, charged arrows that emit a brief redstone pulse when they hit a block, and crooks that improve sapling drops and can pull mobs back. Players can also lock supported containers with renamed locks and matching keys, harvest connected hanging vines by shearing them, and remove saddles from pigs. Small vanilla tweaks include carpets that fit stairs, flower pots that can hold modded flowers and emit comparator signals, colored portal columns, and heartbeets that can be eaten or brewed into regeneration potions. Utility and redstone additions include brick buttons, concealed carpeted pressure plates and trapdoors, collectors that pull nearby items or inventory contents when pulsed, pipes that push items into inventories, and levers designed to resemble torches. Compatibility modules connect features to other mods, including cauldron recipe displays in Just Enough Items, leather cleaning and tanning with Leather Works, cauldron milk for Rats, and fluid and cauldron information in The One Probe or WAILA.

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.12 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
- 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 its one file, 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
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.
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.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Nothing found
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found2 of 40 changelogs read
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found215 images read
- Code of the modThe code and files of the mod, read without running it: addresses of AI services, AI libraries, AI model files and a place for your own AI key.No AI service, AI library or AI model file202 code files read
