About
Pyrotech expands early-game survival with primitive devices and progression centered on combustion, smelting, and hands-on processing, without conventional machine GUIs; its illustrated guidebook explains the mod. Players can work with a campfire, chopping block, drying racks, pit kiln, soaking pot, and worktables, then use carbonization pits, a bloomery, and a wither forge for further processing. The mod includes crude, flint, bone, and obsidian tools, wood and stone torches, wood, clay, and stone buckets, rock bags, and incremental block drops tied to harvest level. Storage ranges from crates, stashes, shelves, and wood racks for items to stone and refractory tanks for fluids; additional equipment includes granite and ironclad anvils, compacting bins, and stone and refractory machines. Ignition and mechanical processing use flint and tinder, bow drills, bellows, and mechanical hoppers, compactors, mulchers, and bellows, with faucets for handling machine outputs. Its ore compatibility system can generate slag and bloomery recipes from ore data, while configuration files let users adjust compatibility and custom content creators can define recipes with CraftTweaker. Refractory brick machines can use an alternate texture that changes their default partly iron appearance.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2.
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 address written in the code is contacted by the code that runs. 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
- 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. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. 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
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 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 its one file, for Minecraft 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.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Nothing found
