About
Project Atmosphere replaces chance-based cloud and weather behavior with a dynamic climate simulation, giving the world an evolving atmosphere shaped by temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, and seasonal conditions. It builds a seven-day forecast as a climate baseline, then lets regional atmospheric conditions develop over time, with seasons gradually influencing the live weather rather than resetting it. Clouds form, move, grow, and dissipate according to atmospheric conditions; the mod adds more than 40 cloud types, ranging from near-clear skies to severe formations, with cloud intensity influenced by humidity and pressure. Cyclones develop from low-pressure areas, while persistent weather states allow pressure, wind, humidity, cloud cover, and other conditions to continue evolving across sessions. Rain Cells can form, travel with the wind, decay naturally, increase local rainfall, and consume cloud water. Temperature changes with sunlight exposure, and snow accumulation and melting respond to temperature, sunlight, and biome conditions rather than weather flags alone. The mod works with Simple Clouds and season systems such as Serene Seasons and Ecliptic Seasons, and includes climate mappings for biome mods including Biomes O’ Plenty, Terralith, Regions Unexplored, and TerraFirmaCraft.

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. No web address is written in its code. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 3 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.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are 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
- 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
- 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 both files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
AI
AI was used for its images
The author writes that AI was used.
ChatGPT is named in the images in its files.
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
- 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.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Not read yet
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Found40 changelogs read
