About
Tolkien Tweaks Mobs Edition adds Tolkien-inspired content and map-making tools, including creatures, biomes, blocks, items, and quest or building resources. Its biomes include Mirkwood, Lothlorien, the Misty Mountains, Fangorn, Mordor, the Old Forest, and the Shire, alongside distinct areas for human, elf, dwarf, and hobbit inhabitants. The creature roster ranges from hostile Orcs, Uruk-hai, trolls, Mirkwood spiders, wargs, Barrow Wights, and mimics to Gollum, Nazgûl, Great Eagles, Ents, Mumakil, and peaceful humans, elves, dwarves, and hobbits; major foes include the Balrog, Fell Beast, Witch King of Angmar, and Goblin King. The mod also adds flowers such as Simbelmyne and Athelas, Mithril and Morgul Iron ores, Mallorn and Mirkwood trees, and more than 30 basic items intended for map-building or quest completion, generally without recipes. Villages tailored to human, dwarf, elf, hobbit, and Haradwaith inhabitants add connected paths, farms, decorations, and other settlement features. Most parts can be disabled through configuration, and vanilla Overworld mobs and some Nether mobs are disabled by default but can be re-enabled.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Names crypto wallet files
- The code names places where other programs keep their files. The code names places where crypto wallets keep their files.Not a Warning: we only found these words in the code, not code that uses them (ARMORY).
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete 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.7 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 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
- 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
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its code history 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.
