    About

    Scarcity is a configurable mod for making resource use and survival more demanding, originally created for the Desolate Planet modpack. It lets pack makers tune hunger and saturation, exhaustion from activities such as moving, attacking, and taking damage, and fast or slow regeneration rates and their hunger thresholds; passive exhaustion drain can also be enabled. Water gathering can be restricted so filling bottles consumes the source block and yields four bottles, and an option can prevent kelp, seagrass, rice, or waterloggable blocks from turning flowing water into sources. Falling blocks can be made more hazardous: they have a chance, based on the landed-on block's hardness, to break partial blocks beneath them. For skyblock-style maps, the mod supplies seeds that do not spawn or drop naturally, including seeds for vanilla saplings such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, and cherry; carrots, potatoes, and sweet berries; cactus, sugar cane, and bamboo; and Farmer's Delight onions and Thermal rubberwood saplings. Other options include sunlight sensitivity, which can make mobs lose fire resistance and burn in daylight, and disabling zombie-villager curing. With Ex Deorum and Thermal installed, its Particulate Sieve processes Ex Deorum sieve recipes and can use a Heavy Agitator augment to sift compressed blocks; with Tinkers' Construct, it adds modular crushing hammers and crooks, including a Heavy Hammering modifier for compressed blocks.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.

    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, for a recent version. 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.

    • 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

    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.

    • 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

    AI was used for its code

    The author declares AI code on Modrinth.

    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.
