About
New Simple Mods is a vanilla-oriented modpack that adds approachable ways to expand and refresh Minecraft without relying on complex magic or technology systems. It brings in new landscapes through Biomes O' Plenty, more than a hundred animals including those from Alex's Mobs, and structures from Additional Structures, Awesome Dungeons, Medieval Buildings, and YUNG's mods. New enemies include creatures from Hunter'sReturn and Mutant Monsters, while Macaw's building additions and MrCrayfish's Furniture provide decorative options for constructions. Gameplay and presentation additions include Advancement Plaques, Better Advancements, Falling Leaves, Ambient Environment, and AmbientSounds, with Oculus and other mods enabling shader use. For multiplayer, the pack includes PlayerRevive and YDM's Weapon Master, and supports Simple Voice Chat.

Security
No harmful code found in its projects
We checked all 342 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.
How we checked
- Its projects342 projects
- Files in the pack itself905 settings files, 1,631 other files, no mod jars.
Privacy
10 mods send something about you
We read the code of all 329 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.19 mods
- Send nothingTheir code contacts no web address.300 mods

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
