About
MasterTech: Hollow Beginning is a hardcore techno-magic RPG modpack that takes players from primitive technology toward complex magical and industrial machinery, with more than 1,500 modified recipes connecting its content. The adventure begins in the Nether and spans more than 50 worlds, including the Betweenlands, blending exploration, survival, space, magic, and industry. Ordinary mobs can break and place blocks and search chests, so players must build turrets and find other ways to defend themselves while facing dozens of bosses. More than 1,000 detailed quests guide progression through the modpack toward advanced tools, armor, and machinery.

A Warning in the files in the pack itself
We checked all 44 mods and the files in the pack itself, without running them.
A Warning is not proof of malware.
Wrong result? Tell us.
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 projects44 mods
- Files in the pack itself2,070 settings files, 52 scripts, 1 resource, shader or data pack, 3 programs, 7,028 other files, 120 mod jars.Warning:

1 mod sends something about you
We read the code of all 44 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.6 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.37 mods
AI
AI used in 1 of the 44 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in it, or its author declared AI content.
No sign so far that AI was used to make the pack itself
We looked for AI tools in its description and found none.
We have not read its changelogs, files, images and code history 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.
