    About

    Symbiote: A Bonding Experience adds an alien organism that lies dormant in meteorites and bonds with a nearby player, becoming a protective but demanding companion that cannot simply be removed. It comes in five strains: Predator, which thrives on hunting; Guardian, focused on defense; Shadow, stronger and more perceptive at night; Sculk, which senses and reveals nearby movement; and Royal, the most powerful and prone to contesting control. The relationship is shaped by bond, trust, stress, hunger, and mood: feeding it, meeting its requests, and fighting alongside it build trust, while neglect and pain can make it stressed and increasingly act on its own. Bond stages unlock greater abilities but also give the organism more influence, while low trust or high stress can make it ignore commands or seize control regardless of stage. A radial menu provides commands such as Protect Me, Hunt, and Hide, alongside a status panel for the symbiote’s strain, stage, mood, and meters. Its abilities include living armor, a tendril mantle for striking, grappling, hauling and mining, wall-clinging, pulling enemies or launching yourself, consuming nearby creatures, and building walls, bridges, or staircases from blocks assigned to its arm slots. As the bond develops, tendrils can swat threats or mine without being directed, and ignored requests may lead the symbiote to take over the player to hunt or pursue its own desires. The organism remembers shared experiences, expresses four moods through changes such as screen-edge effects and shifts in its voice, and can develop into a permanent late-stage identity shaped by the relationship. If the player dies, the symbiote can remain at the death site as a breathing mass holding the inventory, then rebond when the player returns. The bond begins at an impact crater, where the dormant symbiote sample has a modeled and animated appearance.

    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. 2 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 · The latest file 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.
      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 · 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

    AI was used for its code

    The author declares AI code on Modrinth.

    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.
