Rift
ModA lightweight loader that lets you play with mods.
Why no grade
How grades workFinished or replaced projects get no grade: they will not get fixes or new versions.
- The project page: Rift also encourages mods to be more integrated into vanilla Minecraft by using vanilla APIs whenever possible and sharing creative tabs and option menus with vanilla, reducing the difference the player sees between vanilla and modded content.

About
Rift is a lightweight, modular Minecraft mod loader and API intended to let mods extend the game while keeping the core game close to vanilla and avoiding unnecessary dependencies. Its interfaces let developers add content such as blocks, items, fluids, entities, biomes, structures, world-generation features, dimensions, recipes, and network messages. For changes to existing vanilla behavior, mods can use the included Mixin system or other class transformers to inject callbacks or replace code, rather than relying only on a fixed set of hooks. Rift also provides tick events, an extensible event system, automatic dependency downloading and extraction, and optional features that activate when another mod is present. More specialized APIs, such as energy systems and configuration tools, are left to separate community libraries so mod developers and players can use only the features they need.
Written from CurseForge . How we write it
In-game changes
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.13.
Changes the game's code in 3 areas, as a library other mods build on: Networking and multiplayerChanges 4 game code files in this area: connections, the server list and what is sent between your game and a server., Server and world logicChanges 1 game code file in this area: the world, commands, scoreboards, saved data and game rules. and Other game codeChanges 1 game code file in this area: game code that is not in one of the areas above..
Adds no new blocks, items or other content.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.13.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Can update itself
- It can add or replace files in your mods folder, for example to update itself.
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: application data, your user folder and launcher files.
- 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
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.
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
- Uses folders outside the gameReads launcher files.Uses the system folder for application data.Finds the Minecraft folder.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Other programs, 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 1.13.
We read its code without running it: it contacts 2 web addresses 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 its one file, for Minecraft 1.13. See each file in Releases
- launcher.mojang.comDownloads the Minecraft server jar.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.
- Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.Downloads a resource from the resource pack. Downloads a Minecraft server jar and libraries.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.
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.
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.Not read yet
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found2 of 12 changelogs read
