About
ZenTweaker is a collection of configurable features for modpacks, with almost all features able to be disabled. It can customize the main menu by changing its splash text, renaming the Realms button, or redirecting that button to a chosen webpage. Gameplay options include adjusting cactus growth, limiting sea-pickle growth from bonemeal, dropping a Nether Star when a player forms a summon structure in peaceful mode, and changing entity AI, block explosion resistance, item crafting containers, or commands run on respawn. Other tweaks add briskness and heaviness potions that change movement speed by 15 percent in opposite directions, prevent iron drops from zombies and iron golems, and change dispenser placement so blocks are not dropped when a solid block is in front. A survival-oriented set of additions gives dirt a 30 percent chance to drop flint, lets players sneak and right-click tall grass for plant fibre, adds a fire charger made from flint and fibre with a 15 percent chance to ignite targets, and prevents bare-handed log breaking while adding flint tools. World and compatibility tweaks include modified village generation, surface fossils in the Overworld, and an option to stop Biomes O’ Plenty plants from appearing through random ticks; the village changes require Quark and Inspirations, while the plant option requires Biomes O’ Plenty. For recipe and book workflows, a customized held item can open a Patchouli book with a sneak-right-click, and a JustEnoughItems recipe screen can generate a CraftTweaker removal script for crafting or smelting recipes. The mod also offers a reduced-debug-info mode that can reveal coordinates when the player has specific items, a workaround for registering wildcard ore dictionary entries in CraftTweaker, and recipe integration between Tech Reborn and Industrial Wires. Additional compatibility features recolor Galacticraft item names from blue to white and add a porcelain-clay block for firing in the Better With Mods kiln; these features require GalacticraftCore and Ceramics, respectively.

No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.18.1.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. Only in its files for 1.15.2 to 1.16.5.
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.4 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.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
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.18.1.
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 all 4 files, for Minecraft 1.12.2 to 1.18.1. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.
We have not read its changelogs and 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.
- 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 found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found
