Full points5 / 5Removed from modpacksHow many modpacks removed it in a later version of the pack. We can only see this in modpacks with two or more versions. A pack that swaps it for another edition of the same project, or that is rebuilt from scratch, does not count.Not measured yet.Quick fixesHow often a release needed a quick fix: a new release within 3 days to fix a problem in it.Not measured yet.Known conflictsHow many projects say they do not work with it, compared with how widely it is used.

Warning: 2 things that can be risky
It reads the login data of other programs (saved logins of other apps).
It names a place that starts programs when you log in to your computer.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
A Warning is not proof of malware. The download stays available.
This lowers its grade: −6 points, C at most.

What it can do on your computer
- Reads the login data of other programsWarning
- Reads the login data of other programs (saved logins of other apps).
- Names places that start programs at loginWarning
- Names a place that starts programs when you log in to your computer.
- Reads your browser history
- The code names the files where browsers keep your history or bookmarks. It names the files where browsers keep your history, as some horror and cursed mods do for a scare effect.Not a Warning: we only found these words in the code, not code that uses them (\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\... and \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profil...).
- Records from your microphone
- It can record sound from a microphone.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer. It can open a web link or a file, run a command line, show a system notification, start a Java program, run a network diagnostic, shut down or restart the computer, read system or hardware information, read graphics card information and open a folder in the file manager.
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: your user folder, application data, launcher files, your Desktop and Downloads and the temporary files folder.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online. It contacts 2 web addresses. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 2 files in your config folder.
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
- 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.
- Reads the login data of other programs
com/patmod/pat/util/PaTRealDataother_apps: string "\Steam\config\loginusers.vdf" - Names places that start programs at login
com/patmod/pat/util/PaTRealDataWindows Run registry key: string "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" - Records from your microphoneRecords with the sound tools built into Java.
- Uses folders outside the gameFinds the Minecraft folder.Reads launcher files.Uses the system folder for application data.Uses Desktop and Downloads.Uses the temporary files folder.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Updating itself, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends about you
We read its code without running it: it contacts 2 web addresses while you play.
Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.
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
- ip-api.comLooks up location details from ip-api.com.Unencrypted (http)Plain http: what is sent to this address is not encrypted on the way.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.
- api.ipify.orgPurpose not known.
- 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 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.No AI content or AI features declared.
