About
Tails lets players personalize their Minecraft characters with tails, ears, and wings, including variant subtypes. Its in-game editor lets players customize each part with up to three full-RGB tints, while distinctive tail animations give the additions movement and character. Tails is primarily client-side; an optional server component syncs tails between clients, and players can also export a skin using otherwise unused pixels so other mod users can see the tail even when the server does not have Tails installed.

Warning: it downloads code over an unencrypted connection (http) from addons-origin.cursecdn.com. Someone on the same network could replace it
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.12.2.
Only in its files for 1.7.10 to 1.9.4.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
A Warning is not proof of malware. The download stays available.
This lowers its grade: −6 points, B at most.

What it can do on your computer
- Downloads code without encryptionWarning
- Downloads code over an unencrypted connection (http) from addons-origin.cursecdn.com. Someone on the same network could replace it. Only in its files for 1.7.10 to 1.9.4.
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: your user folder.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer. It can open a web link or a file.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online. No address written in the code is contacted by the code that runs. See Privacy
- Can update itself
- It can add or replace files in your mods folder. Only in its files for 1.7.10 to 1.10.2.
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.9 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
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends about you
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.12.2.
We read its code without running it: it contacts 2 web addresses while you play.
Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.
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 all 9 files, for Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.12.2. See each file in Releases
- addons-origin.cursecdn.comPurpose not known.Unencrypted (http)Plain http: what is sent to this address is not encrypted on the way.

AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and code history and found none.
We have not read its changelogs 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.Not on Modrinth.
