About
Mediaworks is a Hex Casting addon that expands the spellcasting experience with utility patterns, enchanted equipment, and new ways to interact with a caster’s surroundings. Its media patterns report the caster’s available media and inspect media held by dropped items or containers, while changes to media withdrawal prioritize exhausting inventory stacks and can draw from Shulker Boxes after other sources run out. A Scrying Lens worn on the head or in a suitable accessory slot condenses the casting grid, and the Media Reflection pattern reports media available without overcasting. The Featherweave Cloak, found in the Deep Dark, stores iotas that can be read from or written to the garment, including while it is worn, and can be dyed like leather armor. Cloaks can also take enchantments such as Reciprocation, which evaluates a stored iota when the wearer takes damage, Media Shield, which spends media to absorb incoming damage, and Locale Magnification, which extends the caster’s range. Astral Projection lets the caster’s mind leave their body to fly and pass through blocks; the projection sees in grayscale with limited vision, cannot interact with the world, and can evaluate a captured Astral Iota when the player uses an item or places a block. The projection ends when its duration expires or the caster opens their inventory, and ends abruptly if the body is moved too far or the projection leaves the caster’s range. Macula Etching lets players place lasting or timed visages in their field of view, including text visages drawn from iota display text, with patterns for positioning and clearing them. The Macula can hold up to 32 visages, and attempting to exceed that limit or make a timed visage last longer than a day causes a mishap that clears the display and briefly blinds the player. The project is not currently maintained.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.19.2.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
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. 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 1.19.2.
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
- 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 Minecraft 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 texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its code history 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
- 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.
