    About

    Nether Archives adds distinctive Nether-focused mechanics and resources, with many of its additions centered on the basalt deltas. Blaze fire can be made by lighting blaze dust, spreads to neighboring dust, and damages entities without igniting blocks or destroying items; it lasts only temporarily unless placed on netherrack. The blaze lantern is a projectile that burns entities and can spread blaze fire nearby, while a blaze torch emits particles pointing toward the nearest Nether fortress and can be crafted or obtained through piglin bartering. In basalt deltas, magnetite falls like sand unless connected to a lodestone, and blocks next to lava become smoldering magnetite that can be mined for iron slag and smelted into iron nuggets. Rotten flesh blocks, crafted from nine rotten flesh, slowly ferment above soul fire or a soul campfire and yield one to three leather when ready. Polished-basalt skis let players travel across basalt deltas and stand on fluids without taking damage; while on a fluid, movement requires pushing with an oar, which causes some damage when used on lava. Basalt geysers launch entities into the air and occur naturally in basalt deltas, especially in lava pools; entities wearing skis descend slowly without fall damage, and crafted geysers can be adjusted with a redstone signal. Spectreglass, made by smelting soul sand, reveals invisible entities behind it but shatters on impact, and a handheld knife offers another way to reveal them.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21 to 1.21.1, 1.21.10 to 26.3. See Privacy

    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 11 latest files checked, last on 18 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.
      11 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 9 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.
      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.
      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 9 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.
      The code of all 9 files, for recent Minecraft versions. 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 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 · 5 places read
