About
TFC Ore Excavation lets players extract Terrafirmacraft geological deposits with Create’s Drill Machine, using recipes and tools adapted to Terrafirmacraft items. To mine an ore deposit, players first locate it with a geological prospector, then build a drilling machine at the site and supply water and suitable drill cooling. The mod adds deposits including aikinite, auricupride, cassiterite, chalcopyrite, cinnabar, covellite, rare gems, hematite, laterite, magnetite, maldonit, malachite, pentlandite and stannite. Compatibility adds chromite from Firmalife; bauxite, galena and uraninite from the TFC IE addon; and osmium from Mekanism.

Not checked yet
Its author does not let other sites download its files from CurseForge, so we cannot check them.
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. The answer above is about the one 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. 1 of them is not checked yet. See each file in Releases
Privacy
We have not read its code yet
What it sends is not known yet.
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.None yet. See each file in Releases
AI
Made with AI: not checked yet
We have not looked for AI tools in it yet.
AI in the game: not checked yet
We have not read its code for AI yet.
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.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Not read yet
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Not read yet
- Sounds in its filesThe tags of the sound files in the files you download, where some AI music tools write their name.Not read yet
- Code of the modThe code and files of the mod, read without running it: addresses of AI services, AI libraries, AI model files and a place for your own AI key.Not checked for AI yet.
