About
Rediscovered reimagines scrapped Minecraft features and concepts, mainly from the game’s pre-release history, adapting them to fit the modern game. Its central addition is the Skylands, a dimension with beta-style terrain, wooded, cold and rainforest biomes, large cherry trees, and the chance to find the Far Lands. To reach the Skylands, craft a Ruby Eye to locate a Trail Ruin containing a damaged brick portal, then rebuild and activate it with the eye. Rubies found in the Overworld and Skylands serve as currency for Skyland Pigmen, whose five professions offer distinct trades, including armor, colored wool and a research-developed potion. You can also rescue zombified Pigmen to recruit them as armed guards, while Nether-dwelling Zombie Pigmen can be cured with Golden Carrots and become either merchants or guards depending on the weapon they are given. A brick pyramid on a floating island houses the power that shields and calms a Red Dragon; shutting it down exposes the pylon and provokes the dragon. After defeating the dragon, you can fertilize its egg with Dragon Breath, wait several days for it to hatch, then raise, saddle and ride the grown dragon, including between the Overworld and Skylands. The dragon can wear customizable armor, and a Ruby Flute can call it back when it is nearby, though extended flight can exhaust it. The mod also restores the Nether Reactor: its aura makes nearby mobs react as if they were in the Nether, lets Piglins and Hoglins roam safely, can zombify Pigmen unless they receive Golden Aura, and increases damage; a Netherite-built reactor strengthens these effects. Other additions include Giants with a ground-slam shockwave attack and Giant’s Eye drops used to brew potions that enlarge or shrink the player. Rediscovered also adds display tables for arranging items as decoration, with item presentation configurable through resource packs, and chairs for sitting. Classic fish appear in the waters of both the Overworld and Skylands, while Obsidian Walls can occasionally be found across the Skylands.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
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.8 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 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.The internet, 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
- 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.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found13 of 23 changelogs read
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found353 images read
- Sounds in its filesThe tags of the sound files in the files you download, where some AI music tools write their name.Nothing found40 of 51 sounds read
- Code of the modThe code and files of the mod, read without running it: addresses of AI services, AI libraries, AI model files and a place for your own AI key.No AI service, AI library or AI model file564 code files read
