    Why no grade

    How grades work

    Finished or replaced projects get no grade: they will not get fixes or new versions.

    • Archived on Modrinth.
    All 10 criteria

    • Maintenance

      Last releaseHow long ago the newest file came out, or an existing file was marked as working on a new Minecraft version.3.1 years ago (19 Sep 2023)
      Supports popular versionsWhether the project has a file for a Minecraft version that 15% or more of the popular mods updated in the last 6 months also support. A version many modpacks use, like 1.20.1 or 1.21.1, also counts after a release in the last 12 months.Newest supported: 1.20.1. 77% of the 515 popular Forge mods updated in the last 6 months also have files for 1.20.1.

    About

    Hephaestus Shinier Tools is a resource pack that reshades tiered vanilla tools to better match the appearance of their corresponding swords. It also makes sword handguards easier to distinguish from the blades and affects tools from some Fabric mods.

    Adds 1 item texture. In OptiFine's formats: 73 custom item textures. Also has files for 7 other mods: Mythicmetals, Atlas combat, Combatify and 4 more.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.

    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 · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • 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.
      2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 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 so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs yet.

    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.
