About
Sculk Depths adds a separate dimension with its own ecosystem, intended to feel like a world beyond the Deep Dark rather than a place made only of sculk. To reach it, players find an ancient city, obtain Energy Essence by having a Warden kill a passive mob or by killing the Warden, and use an Energized Flint and Steel to light the portal after clearing sculk veins from the reinforced deepslate at the city’s center. The dimension includes four biomes: Cephlera Caves, Sculk Caves, Dried Forest, and Petrified Forest, as well as a Laboratory and an underground lab. Its three named mobs include the Glomper, which attacks players flying with an elytra, and Lester, which can startle players mining Quazarith; the project also adds new blocks, block sets, and items. The project is currently on hold because its team lacks the artists and experienced modders needed to realize its vision.

Security
No harmful code found
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. Found in fStats API, 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. 3 files 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.7 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 3 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.
- 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
Sends usage statistics
Sent to api.fstats.dev.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
The author declares on Modrinth that it sends crash reports or usage data unless you turn this off.
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 all 3 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- api.fstats.devSends data to the metrics service.From a bundled library.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.Usage statistics
- checkip.amazonaws.comPurpose not known.From a bundled library.Nothing about you

AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images, sounds and code history and found none.
One weak clue: a branch is named like those Claude Code creates. It does not show that the tool was used.
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.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Weak signA branch name only. It does not show that the tool was used.: A branch named like those Claude Code creates

- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found274 images read
