    Security

    Malware: it downloads a program and starts it

    Found in this file: VanillaEvolution.jar (2, 9 Dec 2019). Its download is blocked.

    We found this in its code, read without running it.

    Because of this malware, it has no grade.

    If you installed it

    1. Remove VanillaEvolution.jar from your mods folder.
    2. Run a full scan with your antivirus.
    3. Check your other mods.

    What it can do on your computer

    Downloads and starts a programMalware
    In one chain of calls, the code downloads a file from a fixed address, saves it as a program and starts it.
    Downloads code without encryptionWarning
    Downloads code over an unencrypted connection (http) from globallights.atwebpages.com. Someone on the same network could replace it.
    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online. It contacts 1 web address. See Privacy

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · The latest file 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.
      1 latest file. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. 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

    Privacy

    Sends nothing about you

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12 to 1.12.2.

    We read its code without running it: it contacts 1 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.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.

    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.
