    About

    RetroBees is a Forestry add-on that brings back bee species from Forestry’s pre-1.7 legacy roster. With Tech Reborn, it adds bees producing resources including fluids and ore dusts, with species for methane, carbon, hydrogen, tritium, helium, helium-3, helium plasma, deuterium, chrome, platinum, iridium, and UU-Matter; some fluid-producing drops yield 10 to 100 mB when processed. With Project E, it adds the Darkened, Reddened, Omega, Philosopher’s, Alchemical Coal, Mobius, and Aeternalis bees, whose EMC requirements are configurable, as are or can be disabled the Philosopher’s Bee mutations for coal, iron, gold, diamond, emerald, and ender pearl bees. Tech Reborn and Project E are optional integrations; without either one, its related bees and items remain visible in JEI and Creative tabs but have no use or recipes.

    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. It contacts 1 web address. 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 · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • 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 · Its one file read
    • 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 so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    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.
