    About

    Vanilla Vistas is an Open Terrain Generator world preset that reshapes terrain and biome placement to create varied, picturesque landscapes that remain easy to explore and include flat areas for building, without adding custom biomes of its own. Its landscapes include rolling hills, rocky coasts, idyllic beaches, mountains and rivers that can tunnel underground. The preset keeps the usual vanilla structures and ore generation, and can place biomes from compatible overworld biome mods into logical climate groups without manual configuration.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.16.5.

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for Forge 1.16.5. See Privacy
    Changes your mods folder
    It can add or replace files in your mods folder, for example to update itself. Only in its files for 1.12.2.

    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 15 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. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. 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.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.16.5.

    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 · Both files 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 both files, for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.16.5. See each file in Releases

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

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