About
TolkienCraft III: Return to Middle-earth is a story-driven modpack set 30 years after the events of its predecessor, as growing darkness threatens the free peoples of Middle-earth. You take up the role of the Hero of Draconis, fighting back against the evil and quietly helping the Fellowship succeed in its quest. CustomNPCs and Better Questing, combined with Minecraft features, support the pack’s more immersive narrative experience.

Security
No harmful code found in its mods
We checked all 109 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 projects109 mods
- Files in the pack itself580 settings files, 3 resource, shader or data packs, 596 other files, 11 mod jars.

9 mods send something about you
We read the code of 108 of its 109 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.16 mods
- Send nothingTheir code contacts no web address.83 mods
- Not read yetWe have not read their code yet.1 mod
AI
AI used in 2 of the 49 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in them, or their authors declared AI content.
60 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
