About
Soviet Era 2 is a building and exploration mod inspired by late Soviet architecture and urban exploration, designed for creating post-Soviet cities, abandoned industrial sites, or entire ghost towns. It adds decorative and functional blocks for buildings and interiors, including panel-construction pieces, rusty steel pylons, furniture, laboratory equipment, doors, windows, and lamps. Many blocks have specialized behavior: redstone can power turnstiles and adjustable-brightness lamps, doors include lockable and airlock designs, and sensors, barbed wire, and live wires can form perimeter defenses. Modular constructions include panel walls and scientific equipment such as particle accelerators, fume hoods, and electron microscopes; a configurable rusty frame can also combine different block textures across its six sides. The exploration component includes abandoned sites, notably a vast procedurally generated underground science complex with long corridors and randomly generated rooms, as well as radio facilities and bomb shelters. Players can salvage resources from structures and their contents, breaking down materials and electronics for reusable scraps, metals, and components that can be processed with machines such as a shredder and refining plant. Exploration also involves environmental hazards: poisoned laboratory air and damaging swamp water make protective equipment such as a gas mask and protective suit useful.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.16.5.
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. Only in its files for Forge 1.16.5.
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Only in its files for Forge 1.12.2.
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.2 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
- 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.
- Uses folders outside the gameUses Desktop.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.16.5.
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 both files, for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.16.5. 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 so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds 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.
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.
