About
Minecolonies Getting Started guides players from basic survival crafting into establishing a Minecolonies settlement, with quests leading through a Supply Camp or Ship, a Town Hall, and the hiring of a first Builder. After the colony is founded, Minecolonies NPCs make contextual requests for materials and can gather resources, expand housing, and defend the perimeter, leaving players free to explore and develop the settlement. Additional Structures adds ruins, tents, and dungeons as places to explore and find early loot. The pack adds biome-aware ambience through Ambient Sounds 6 and an Amplified Nether with tall terrain that makes exploration and quartz gathering more vertical. For building, Domum Ornamentum provides Builder-compatible beams, arches, and roofs, while Building Gadgets 2 and Charging Gadgets help players place roads and walls at larger scales. Sophisticated Backpacks and Tom’s Storage support carrying and storing resources, while quality-of-life additions such as JEI, Mouse Tweaks, and Ultimine streamline item lookup, inventory handling, and block breaking.

No harmful code found in its mods
We checked all 74 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 projects74 mods
- Files in the pack itself129 settings files, 18 other files, no mod jars.
Privacy
3 mods send something about you
We read the code of all 74 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.8 mods
- Send nothingTheir code contacts no web address.63 mods
AI
AI used in 4 of the 56 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in them, or their authors declared AI content.
18 mods are not checked yet.
No sign so far that AI was used to make the pack itself
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.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 found2 of 40 changelogs read
