About
vanutp's Telegram Bridge links Minecraft server chat with configured Telegram chats, forwarding messages in both directions. It also forwards configurable server and player events, including startup and shutdown, joins and leaves, deaths, and advancements; advancement types and descriptions can be controlled separately. Telegram messages can use modern message types and formatting, including spoilers and quoted replies, and the bridge supports Telegram groups organized into topics. Server owners can customize bot messages and formatting, choose whether to forward only a player's first join, and merge frequent chat messages or suppress quick leave-and-rejoin notices. Telegram users can use /list to see online players and, when spark is installed, /tps to check server performance. The mod supports Fabric, (Neo)Forge, and Paper, and its documented chat-plugin integrations include Chatty, HeroChat, ChatEx, Carbon Chat, and FlectonePulse. It can also bridge Telegram with DiscordSRV channels, forward voice messages when a compatible voice-message mod or plugin is installed, and turn shared Xaero's Minimap or World Map waypoints into BlueMap links. Additional integrations hide vanished players from join and leave notices and the Telegram player list, and can convert emoji shortcodes or other configured text patterns in forwarded messages.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Accepts connections from other computers
- It can accept connections from other computers. Found in code libraries built into it.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer, for example to open a link in your browser. Found in code libraries built into it.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in the mod's own code and in code libraries built into it. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 3 files in your config folder.
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 5 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.Folders outside the game, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends about you
We read its code without running it: it contacts 3 web addresses while you play.
Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.
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 all 5 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- piston-meta.mojang.comPurpose not known.
- resources.download.minecraft.netPurpose not known.
- Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.Purpose not known.
- 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 texts, files and images 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.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Not read yet
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found20 changelogs read

- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found
