About
Resource Engineering adds a resource-processing progression in which players extract materials from ordinary blocks, refine raw gems and turn the resulting resources into tools, armor and machines. Its seven gems range from turquoise, with wood-like tools, through onyx, amethyst, citrine and emerald to ruby and rare sapphire; each has tools and armor, and refined-gem gear comes pre-enchanted. Emerald, ruby and sapphire can make hammers that mine 3×3×3, 5×5×5 and 7×7×7 areas respectively, while the Thor’s Hammer mines ores throughout a chunk and the upgraded Chunk Hammer mines the whole chunk. The Sifter processes dirt, gravel, sand, soul sand and their dense or loaded variants into drops such as gold and iron flakes and diamond chips; the Pressure Vessel uses blaze fuel to turn flakes into nuggets and chips into diamonds, and can recover materials from undamaged vanilla or Resource Engineering gear. The Gem Tumbler refines uncut gems using sand or gravel as grit, the Fracking Machine breaks cobblestone, netherrack, endstone and sandstone for hidden materials, and the Compressor converts stacks of several common blocks into dense variants. Chunk hammers can compact mined redstone, lapis, diamonds and coal into blocks; the Chunk Hammer also compacts common blocks, and dense blocks can be converted back at a rate of 64 ordinary blocks per dense block.

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.4 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
- 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
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 4 files, for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.12.2. 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 so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images 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.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 found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
