About
Mo’s Grounded Origins expands the Origins mod with four playable origins built around distinct animal traits and environments: the Beach Crab, Deer, Moth, and Penguin. The Beach Crab is strongest on beaches, where it gains strength and resistance, while its pincers, shell, and water adaptations shape combat and movement; it can also summon a protective effect with a Crab Rave note-block cover. The Deer is a vegetarian forest native that gains speed and regeneration in suitable forests, gets extra nourishment from berries, and can jump higher, resist fall damage, and sprint away when badly hurt, balanced by a smaller health pool. The tiny Moth can fly when not wearing a chestplate, climb walls, and launch itself upward, with nearby flowers granting resilience and growth-related abilities; it eats fibrous foods such as string, leather, paper, books, and flower stamens, which can also boost its health. Moths are vulnerable to water and heat, but gain timed buffs around lanterns, glowstone, soul lights, sea lanterns, and pumpkin lights when out of sunlight. The Penguin is adapted to cold and water, with faster swimming, underwater breathing and attacks, a short underwater lunge, and a belly-slide across land in cold biomes; its diet is restricted to seafood, and warmer climates make it weaker and slower. Origins data and item or block tags can be edited or extended with datapacks, allowing players and modpack authors to adjust powers and food or lighting compatibility for their own setups.

No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16.5 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 1.18.2.
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.3 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 1.16.5 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 3 files, for Minecraft 1.16.5 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 description, files, images, sounds and code history and found none.
We have not read its changelogs 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.

- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
