About
Better MC is a vanilla-plus modpack that expands exploration, combat, building, and progression while retaining a Minecraft-like experience. It overhauls world generation with Biomes O’ Plenty and Geophilic, and adds thousands of dungeons and structures through projects such as When Dungeons Arise and AdoraBuild: Structures. Strongholds and fortresses are overhauled, while new additions include bosses and mobs from Mowzie’s Mobs and Cataclysm. The Aether is expanded with Deep Aether, Aether Redux, and Aether Villages, and the pack also includes rideable dragons. Exploration reaches beyond the Overworld: additions include the Sulfur Caves biome and Sulfur Cubes, Dark Forest villages, new End loot, and Plunderer ships. More than 100 quests provide guidance and progression, including an overhauled End quest category and a quest for crafting the Warp Plate. Quality-of-life features include Waystones, XP Tomes, and Xaero’s Minimap with additional features. Custom shader presets and shader support add visual options such as glowing End portals, while the pack is optimized for performance. Built-in free world sharing makes it possible to share a world with others.

No harmful code found in the projects we checked
We checked 421 of its 425 projects 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.

10 mods send something about you
We read the code of 373 of its 375 mods, without running it.
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

We looked for AI tools in its texts and found none.
We have not read its files and images 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.No AI content declared.
