About
Arcane Isles is a questing skyblock modpack built around learning and using Ars Nouveau, Ars Caelum, and Hex Casting. Players progress by conjuring themed islands from the void, building a distinctive base across a spread of islands and biomes, and taking flight; falling into the void is forgiving and does not cause a loss. Its quest chains guide players through Ars Nouveau and Hex Casting, with optional challenges that explore Ars Nouveau automation in greater depth. Magic supports practical play as well as exploration: spells can manipulate blocks and generate resources, while magical helpers and blocks enable automation. The pack also supports solo and team-based server skyblocks, with a provided map and commands for visiting, creating, and joining teams.

Security
No harmful code found in its mods
We checked all 93 mods and the files in the pack itself, without running them.
Why we show this: a modpack installs the files of its mods, and each mod runs on your computer like any program. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: a modpack has no grade of its own, and each mod's result counts in that mod's grade.
How we checked
- Its projects93 mods
- Files in the pack itself389 settings files, 4 scripts, 1 resource, shader or data pack, 5 other files, no mod jars.
Privacy
Why we show this: a modpack runs the code of its mods, and 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
- Go online onlyTheir code contacts a web address, for example to check for updates. We found nothing it sends about you.10 mods
- Crash reports or usage dataTheir author declares crash reports or usage data on Modrinth, or such a service is named in their files. Reading their code did not show it.1 mod
- Send nothingTheir code contacts no web address.80 mods
AI
AI used in 6 of the 75 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in them, or their authors declared AI content.
18 mods are not checked yet.
Made with AI: not checked yet
We have not looked for AI tools in the pack itself yet.
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.
- 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
