About
The Skinwalker Hunt is a horror mod centered on a rare Overworld predator that disguises itself as a cat, wolf, villager, cow, sheep, or pig before revealing its true form and hunting the player. The Skinwalker becomes hostile if attacked, and also reveals itself at night or in caves when the player is nearby; it can break blocks while pursuing the player, climb up to five blocks, and inflict Nausea and Blindness with its attacks. A second monster, the Chupacabra, is a fast, fire-immune attacker that regenerates slowly, breaks blocks, boats, and minecarts, and preys on cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, and villagers. The mod also adds a Skinwalker Mask, a craftable and reversible Skinwalker Trophy, and drops including the Skinwalker Eye, Bone, and Flesh, which can be brewed into a potion granting Night Vision, Regeneration III, and Strength III. Skinwalkers can drop an enchanted iron axe, a behavior that can be switched off with a gamerule; a separate gamerule controls whether the Chupacabra breaks blocks. Cursed content includes Cursed Ore, a full set of ore tools and weapons, Cursed Armor with a broad range of status effects, and a Cursed House whose Villager’s Diary provides its history. The Cursed Sword inflicts Wither III and Slowness III on hit, and Cursed Ore generation can be toggled with a gamerule. Additional items and enemies include Alien Flesh, an Alien Spike, an Alien Sword and Shield, a Cursed Villager, and a Red Cursed Sword.

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
- 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. Both are for recent versions. 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
- 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 both files, 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
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and sounds 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.No AI content or AI features declared.
