    About

    Scanner lets players scan otherwise empty void chunks to find generated terrain, biomes, and ores. Modpack authors can add modded ores through MineTweaker or CraftTweaker, setting the ore’s rarity and minimum and maximum Y levels, and in newer recipe syntax specifying which block to replace.

    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 1.9.4 to 1.12.2.

    Adds 6 blocks: Biome Scanner (Advanced), Biome Scanner (Basic), Biome Scanner (Elite), Biome Scanner (Ultimate), Scanner Queue and Terrain Scanner.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.9.4 to 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. Only in its files for Forge 1.12; 1.10.2 to 1.11.2. 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 · All 6 latest files checked, last on 15 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.
      6 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.
      Folders outside the game, 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 1.9.4 to 1.12.2.

    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 · All 6 files 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 all 6 files, for Minecraft 1.9.4 to 1.12.2. See each file in Releases

      Purpose not known.Unencrypted (http)Plain http: what is sent to this address is not encrypted on the way.

    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.
