About
The New Frontier is a survival-focused modpack that brings together a broad mix of technology, magic, exploration, building, and everyday survival additions. For exploration, it adds Biomes O’ Plenty, Ruins, Doomlike Dungeons, Roguelike Dungeons, Mo’ Villages, and Aroma1997’s Dimensional World, alongside tools such as JourneyMap. Technology options include Mekanism, Immersive Engineering, Applied Energistics 2, Ender IO, Thermal Foundation, and Extreme Reactors, with storage and transport additions such as Storage Drawers, Ender Storage, and Simply Conveyors. Magic and character-building choices include Botania, Blood Magic, Astral Sorcery, Psi, Mystical Agriculture, Draconic Evolution, and Tinkers’ Construct. The pack also expands food and farming with Pam’s HarvestCraft, Cooking for Blockheads, Farming for Blockheads, and SimpleHarvest, and adds furnishings and creative building options through MrCrayfish’s Furniture Mod, Chisel, and Chisels & Bits. Survival can be hazardous, with Rough Mobs 2, Grue, Ender Zoo, and Hardcore Darkness contributing to a more dangerous world, while equipment choices include Techguns, Silent Gear, ArmorPlus, and SlashBlade. A public server is available for the pack.

Security
No harmful code found in its mods
We checked all 164 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

7 mods send something about you
We read the code of 163 of its 164 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.18 mods
- Send nothingTheir code contacts no web address.138 mods
- Not read yetWe have not read their code yet.1 mod
AI
AI used in 7 of the 83 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in them, or their authors declared AI content.
81 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
