About
Repurpose is an ease-of-life mod that reworks vanilla materials into alternative ways to obtain resources and build, while adding practical tools and redstone utilities. Its items include a bed compass that points toward a slept-in bed, lower-durability stone shears, fast wood-through-diamond swift blades, and sickles that clear grass, flowers, and leaves in a wide sweep without damaging crops. Fluffy Fabric, a snorkel, and a whetstone provide alternative routes to Silk Touch, Respiration I, and Sharpness I books, while enchantable scrolls can also be applied to items with an anvil and used to craft bookshelves. The Bag of Holding offers its own inventory and can collect drops there while open; it can also place a selected item from the off hand when aimed at a suitable block. Food storage recipes compress eggs, carrots, potatoes, and beetroots into bunches or egg clutches, then into crates or cartons, with recipes to unpack them again. Building additions include dirt and grass slabs, stairs, and walls, plus glowstone slabs; dirt forms can turn grassy when placed near grass blocks. For redstone contraptions, a configurable clock pulses power from selected sides, a scanner detects chosen categories of nearby entities, and a mini redstone block supplies a constant weaker signal. Enriched farmland grows vanilla crops without nearby water and at their fastest rate, while right-clicking a fully grown vanilla crop harvests it and replants seeds when available. Other changes make dirt and stone capable of yielding extra resources, add chances for leaves and tall grass to drop useful items, and allow coal ore to yield diamond shards that combine into diamonds. Additional recipes recover ingredients from undamaged vanilla armor and convert materials such as rotten flesh into leather, while reversible slab and stair recipes reclaim wood and stone blocks. The Step Assist boot enchantment has three levels, letting players automatically climb steps up to one, one-and-a-half, or two blocks high.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.10.2 to 1.16.5.
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. Only in its files for 1.14.4 to 1.16.5.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for 1.10.2 to 1.11.2. See Privacy
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Only in its files for 1.10.2.
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. 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.Other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends about you
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.10.2 to 1.16.5.
We read its code without running it: it contacts 1 web address 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 all 8 files, for Minecraft 1.10.2 to 1.16.5. See each file in Releases

AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and code history and found none.
We have not read its changelogs 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.Nothing found
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
- 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 found42 images read
