    About

    Sculk Horde is an endgame survival challenge in which an awakened infection spreads through the world, and players must contain it and ultimately defeat it. The infestation begins at the Ancient Sculk Node in the Sculk Tomb; activating it starts the spread across the surface, while infected creatures and Sculk Mass blocks also extend the corruption and summon Horde mobs. As the Horde absorbs entities and accumulates Sculk Mass, it evolves, gaining strength and new creatures; its Gravemind directs attacks and adapts its tactics based on encounters. Its forces include infectors such as Sculk Mites, Leeches, Stingers, Spore Spewers and Bees, alongside combat units including Sculk Zombies, Spitters, Ravagers, Vindicators and Guardians. Later threats include the Sculk Ghast, which fires fireballs and deploys troops, and the Angel of Reaping, who leads a hit squad against high-priority players. The Gravemind can also trigger raids and other responses to player activity, making the Horde's actions part of an evolving struggle rather than a static invasion. Players can fight back with purification tools: the Infestation Purifier restores corrupted blocks, the Blade of Purity cleanses land when striking Horde units, and Infestation Ward Blocks halt block-to-block spread. To end the infestation permanently, players must craft a Heart of Purity and use it on the Ancient Node.

    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. 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 · All 8 latest files 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.
      8 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one 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.
      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.
      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.
      The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • 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

    An AI tool may have been used

    Aider is named in the ignore list of its repository.

    This does not show that it was used to make the files you download.

    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 · 7 places read
