About
Moss Overgrowth! is an anti-infection mod that lets players start a spreading moss ecosystem to resist hostile infections such as the Sculk Horde, The Flesh That Hates, and Fungal Infection: Spore. Crafting and placing a Mossy Core begins the Overgrowth, which must be protected from other infections; as it grows, it creates mossy trees and ores, pillars, and expanding Moss Plants that block sunlight, convert the terrain, and produce glowberry vines and moss stalks. The Overgrowth also summons peaceful-to-the-player moss creatures to defend it and the player, and these mobs evolve as they defeat enemies. Players can direct the moss with orders that summon reinforcements, gather or rally nearby mobs, create Moss Plants, spread moss, or call powerful allies such as a Mossy Golem; further orders can strengthen as they are used. Its progression advances through phases that increase spreading speed and the mob cap, with later stages adding effects such as damaging moss and enabling Mossy Golems to spawn directly from the Overgrowth. The mod also adds lush-cave structures, including one resembling an ancient city, and two armor sets: the Mossy Crown can summon reinforcements without an order, while empowered moss armor offers a damaging aura, speed, and the ability to spread moss by walking. Players can optionally become infected themselves using a Yearning Heart, gaining a developing combat-focused path with defensive spores, survivability, burrowing, infection-grown armor, and attacks such as piercing spikes or Blight Berries. Other systems include Moss Sprouts that passively spread moss and can mature into towns or cities, and wearable Focuses that trade advantages for drawbacks, such as gaining strength and regeneration on moss or releasing a pathogen pulse while stationary.

Security
No harmful code found
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.1 latest file, for a recent version. 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
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 its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds 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
- 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.
