    About

    The Deep Dark expands the sculk and Warden experience with an explorable Deep Dark dimension, where players face the Warden’s corruption. The dimension’s Warden Outposts contain loot such as enchanted golden apples, echo shards, disc fragments, diamonds, and spawner blocks, stored in breakable regular or corrupted vases; corrupted vases offer better rewards but are more dangerous to reach. The mod adds corrupted weapons and armor, made with corrupted ingots that can be crafted from a netherite ingot and two echo shards or rarely found in Warden Outposts; the gear is stronger than netherite and protects against darkness and blindness effects. A Sonic Boom Staff, found rarely in the outposts, releases a blast that kills nearby creatures when used. The Warden Destroyer enchantment strengthens a corrupted sword against Wardens, while Warden Detectors reveal nearby Wardens with glowing and the Corrupted Apple grants speed alongside darkness. To enter the dimension, players craft a Deep Activator from flint and steel and two echo shards, then use it on the reinforced deepslate structure in an ancient city after clearing away the surrounding sculk.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Does not change the game's code directly.

    Adds 2 blocks, 14 items, 1 dimension, 1 enchantment and 15 recipes.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

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

    Security

    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.

    How we checked · Both latest files 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.
      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. 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.

    • 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

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images 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.
