    About

    Mech Trowel is a building tool for placing varied blocks, with Quick mode drawing random blocks from the hotbar, Palette mode using user-defined block probabilities, and Wand mode placing connected blocks from the active palette. Players can create up to 25 palettes, each containing up to 28 blocks, and use gradients to transition between palettes across chosen points in the world, with adjustable sections and blend modes. Wand mode can place up to 64 blocks at once, or 128 with its upgrade, and supports undoing the last three actions; it requires an upgrade or configuration setting to enable. Rotation settings control block orientation and stair or slab placement, while replace mode can target permitted existing blocks and wireframe previews show placement positions and gradient progress. The mod supports Create and Copycats+ blocks with configurable materials and properties, as well as FramedBlocks material selection, and can draw blocks from shulker boxes and Sophisticated Backpacks. Optional integrations include an AE2 upgrade for using blocks from an ME system and a Chipped auto-conversion upgrade that can use a base block when its Chipped variant is unavailable in inventory or backpacks.

    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 · All 10 latest files checked, last on 20 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.
      10 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 10 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.

    • 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.

    • 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 · All 10 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.

    • 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 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.
