About
Grimdark Viking Pack is a combat-focused resource pack that gives Minecraft equipment a Norse-inspired Viking look while leaving the vanilla block textures available to pair with it. It adds six themed armor sets with customizable trims, masks, trinkets, and other accessories, along with ten round-shield designs and custom weapon and tool textures with 3D models for each material type. The equipment includes the Stormhammer, a trident, and the Runestone of Protection, a Totem of Undying, as well as custom textures for bows, crossbows, fishing rods, flint and steel, and shears. Shield designs include Rond, Quarters, Halves, and Dragon styles, with wooden, stone, iron, golden, diamond, and netherite variants; supported variant textures can be selected by renaming a shield at an anvil, and require OptiFine or CIT Resewn.

Security
No harmful code found in the parts we could check
We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.
One of its files for recent versions cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download it from CurseForge.
Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.8 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 4 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 1 of them is not checked yet. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
Privacy
Sends nothing
A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. 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.
