About
SHC PVZ ZenGarden is a Plants vs. Zombies-themed utility mod centered on bringing the franchise’s plants into Minecraft, with tools and systems for gardening as well as plant-based defense against hostile mobs. Its plant roster includes Peashooters, Sunflowers, Chompers, Wall-nuts, Potato Mines, Bonk Choy, Jalapenos, Cherry Bombs, Ghost Peppers, Snapdragon, Torchwood, and several kinds of mushrooms and peas. Plants have distinct attacks and uses: Bonk Choy punches through nearby enemies, Potato Mines charge before exploding when triggered, Jalapenos and Pickled Peppers leave horizontal and vertical lines of fire, and Torchwood ignites peas that pass through it. Gardening involves growing plants from sprouts with suns, with some plants evolving through use or changing under environmental conditions such as time spent in the Nether or powder snow. Planting spots vary by plant type: common plants grow on dirt, moss, mud, or in pots; shrooms can use nylium, while ignited plants can be placed on Nether blocks and frozen plants on snow or blue ice. Players can train plants on Zombie Dummies, which grant extra experience for shots while plants still prioritize nearby real monsters. The mod also adds gardening tables, sun-producing blocks, and small, tall, and big flower pots that can hold plants as well as ordinary potted vegetation. Seedpacket cooldowns, a starter kit with a guide and basic recipes, and whether utility plants can damage terrain are configurable through game rules.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
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.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.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
- 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
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
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.
