About
Metal Bushes adds harvestable ore bushes inspired by Tinkers’ Construct and styled after sweet berry bushes. Its Overworld bushes produce coal, copper, iron, gold, redstone, diamonds, experience, blaze powder, and slime; it also adds a Nether Quartz Bush, plus Tin and Osmium Bushes with Mekanism support and a Zinc Bush with Create support. The bushes appear in specified biomes: Coal in taiga, extreme hills, icy biomes, and forests; Copper in plains and savannas; Iron in plains, taiga, savannas, and forests; Gold in savannas and forests; Redstone and Diamond in plains and forests; Experience in plains, savannas, and forests; Blaze in deserts; Slime in swamps; Tin in plains and forests; Osmium in taiga and icy biomes; and Zinc in plains, savannas, and forests. At growth stage two, a bush drops one item; at stage three, it has a 25% chance to drop two items.

No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.15.2 to 1.18.2.
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. Only in its files for Forge 1.16.5 to 1.18.2; 1.16.3 to 1.17.1.
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.8 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
- 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 1.15.2 to 1.18.2.
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 all 8 files, for Minecraft 1.15.2 to 1.18.2. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images 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.Not on Modrinth.
