About
FTB Academy is a beginner-focused modpack that teaches modded Minecraft concepts through guided quests and an in-game reference guide, so players can learn without having to rely on external wikis and videos. Players begin in a school tutorial area, where quests and in-world images introduce topics such as automation, technology, and magic before sending them to the Overworld to start playing normally. Its more than 300 quests guide players through progression in common mods, while nearly 100 pages of guides offer deeper explanations where needed. Outside the school tutorial, the pack avoids changing recipes or progression, aiming to present an experience representative of an average modpack.

Security
No harmful code found in its mods
We checked all 115 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 projects115 mods
- Files in the pack itself320 settings files, 15 scripts, 1,031 other files, 2 mod jars.

6 mods send something about you
We read the code of all 115 of its 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
- Go online onlyTheir code contacts a web address, for example to check for updates. We found nothing it sends about you.15 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.94 mods
AI
AI used in 7 of the 62 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in them, or their authors declared AI content.
53 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
