    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 is not checked yet.

    2 of its files for recent versions cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download them from CurseForge.

    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 · 1 of 8 latest files checked, last on 15 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.
      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. 3 of them are 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 shader 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, images and code history 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.

    • 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.
