Spectrum is a color-themed magic and exploration mod about discovering hidden properties in the world and combining the sixteen colors and magical resources to make tools and machines, with an ultimate journey beneath the bedrock floor. Progress is built around discoveries and puzzles rather than a fixed, fully explained sequence: recipes and guidebook entries unlock step by step, with advancements and a notebook-style guidebook offering clues as you experiment. The mod adds magical equipment, blocks and decorations, enchantments and potion effects, distinctive fluids, ores, plants and geodes, as well as customizable structures with puzzles and handcrafted sounds and particles. The Potion Workshop makes potions and tipped arrows in a single brewing step and lets players use reagents to modify potion effects, while the Crystallarieum can grow a range of resources on its upper surface using Ink. Spectrum also provides custom integrations for other mods, including recipes and Crystal Apothecary support for AE2, new forges and fuels for Alloy Forgery, added items and recipes for Botania, and recipe-type support for EMI and RoughlyEnoughItems.

Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
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.
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.
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.
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.
