About
Mannequin is a posing and customization mod for creating staged Minecraft scenes, thumbnails, and renders with reusable NPC figures. You can pose figures by rotating, moving, and scaling individual body parts, then save poses as presets for reuse and undo or redo changes. Customize figures with saved, online, or local skins, labels, armor, and held items, and choose from vanilla model types or import custom Blockbench models. In-game commands let you create, delete, and lock mannequins; the mod is focused on posing and scene setup rather than animation timelines. It also provides normal-map, depth-map, and entities-only export options for scene presentation.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
The author declares on Modrinth that this mod interacts with your system outside the game.
What it can do on your computer
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. It contacts 1 web address. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 14 files in your config folder.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21.8.
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.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are 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
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

Sends your player ID and unknown data
Sent to sessionserver.mojang.com and an address built while the game runs.
Only some of its files send your player ID and unknown data.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
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 both 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.

AI
AI was used for its code
The author declares AI code on Modrinth.
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images 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

These projects do not work together with Mannequin: their authors or Mannequin's author say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Mannequin, so you only need one.
