No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Records from your microphone
- It can record sound from a microphone. Voice chat mods do this. Only in its files for NeoForge 1.20.1.
- Accepts connections from other computers
- It can accept connections from other computers. Only in its files for NeoForge 1.20.1.
- 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 NeoForge 1.20.1.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer. Only in its files for NeoForge 1.20.1.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in the mod's own code and in rhino, a library it includes. 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.
- Sends the text you write to Google Gemini and xAI Grok
- The code calls an AI service over the internet, for example to write text or make images. You provide your own key.
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.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are 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.
- Records from your microphoneRecords with the sound tools built into Java.
- Uses folders outside the gameUses Downloads.
- Sends the text you write to Google Gemini and xAI Grok

Privacy
Sends text to an AI service and your player name
Sent to generativelanguage.googleapis.com and an address built while the game runs.
Only some of its files send your player name.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
The author declares on Modrinth that it shows advertisements.
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

AI
AI was used for its code and text
The author declares AI code and text on Modrinth.
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
Can use AI in the game
Can send the text you write to Google Gemini and xAI Grok (you provide your own key).
We found this in its code, read without running it.
The author also declares AI features on Modrinth.
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.Declares AI code, text and AI features in the game.
