About
Primitive Mobs adds 25 hostile and docile creatures to make the Overworld, Nether, and End feel more lively while fitting Minecraft’s style. Its creatures include tameable, color-changing Chameleons; Treasure Slimes that can carry loot and be tamed; Haunted Tools that haunt underground; and Lost Miners who can reward players with emeralds before becoming villagers with a Miner profession. Other additions bring distinctive encounters: Rocket Creepers leap before exploding, TNT-throwing creepers retreat from nearby players, Filch Lizards steal ingots or gems, and Grove Sprites plant and nurture saplings, including those from modded trees. Dodos near mycelium provide meat and occasionally lay eggs, while Mother Spiders defend their babies; eggs from a Mother Spider can summon tameable Baby Spiders that fight for the player, grow through stages, and can eventually be ridden. Underground chests may be Mimics, mob traps, or ordinary loot, and the wider roster also includes Skeleton Warriors whose arrows inflict weakness, Nether Blazes that attack in zigzags, Trollagers that turn to stone in daylight, lava-dwelling FlameSpewers, armor-damaging Goblins, and mountain-dwelling birdlike attackers that can snatch players into the air. The mod also adds craftable Camouflage Armor that changes color like a Chameleon and, as a full set, reduces mob detection range; Grove Sprite Wonder Sap converts logs to the Sprite’s tree type, and the Mimic Orb can turn an ordinary chest into a Mimic chest. Players can configure individual mobs, selected behaviors and spawn chances, Mimic generation, and several terrain effects; loot tables can also be customized for supported drops and special features. Just Enough Resources displays villager trades and Mimic and mob loot, while JourneyMap can show most of the added mobs on its minimap.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.12.2.
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.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 1.7.10 to 1.12.2.
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 1.7.10 to 1.12.2. 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, sounds and code history 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.
