This author published several projects at once on Modrinth: up to 12 projects published within 2 weeks. 12 of the author's 39 projects have only one release and no source code link. A series of small add-ons is often published this way. It does not change the grade.

About
Hysteria is a customizable, horror-themed shaderpack and successor to Insanity Shader, built on Photon to give Minecraft a stylized, eerie atmosphere. Its visual effects include volumetric clouds and ground-level or distant fog, changing cloud and color conditions with dynamic weather, and colored lighting, including support for labPBR resource packs. Dark nights and especially dark Nether and End environments reinforce the horror mood, while Distant Horizons support lets the view extend to distant terrain; that support is described as experimental. A user-friendly configuration menu, including quick options, lets players adjust the shader, and the pack is described as optimized for a range of modern PCs, including lower-end GPUs.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.
Why we show this: a shader 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.3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 3 are 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. 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 shader 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, images and code history 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.
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.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Nothing found
- 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
