Safety & Source Policy

We do not scan files. We do not promise that a resource is virus-free. What we do is link to the original creator or a recognized platform, state where the download goes, and mark sources that are down or unverifiable. This page explains exactly what that means.

What we check

  • Source URL — the download button points to the creator's page, CurseForge, Modrinth, or the creator's own site. We do not mirror files unless we have written permission or the resource is our own.
  • Metadata — edition, supported Minecraft version, loader, and file format are copied from the source page. If the source does not state a value, we mark it "Unknown."
  • Source availability — we periodically re-check source URLs. If a source returns 404 or has been taken down, the download button is disabled and the page is marked "Source unavailable."
  • Licensing — we check whether a resource permits redistribution. Resources that prohibit redistribution are linked to the creator's page, not re-hosted.

What we do not check

  • File contents — we do not download and scan JAR or ZIP files. We do not run antivirus on them.
  • Malware — we cannot confirm that a third-party file is free of malware. The same caution you would apply to any download applies here.
  • In-game behavior — we do not test whether a mod works in every configuration. Compatibility data comes from the source page, not from our own testing.
  • Server-side safety — a client-side mod may still trigger anti-cheat on some servers. That is not something we can verify.

How to read a resource page

Each resource page has a Source status line. Possible values:

  • Verified — the source URL was reachable and the metadata matched the source page at the time of the last check.
  • Unverified — the resource is listed but we have not confirmed the current source or metadata. Treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee.
  • Source unavailable — the source URL is down or has been removed. The download button is disabled. The resource stays listed so you can find it if the source returns.

Before you download anything

  1. Check that the download button goes to a domain you recognize — CurseForge, Modrinth, or the creator's own site.
  2. If a page asks you to run an installer, enter Microsoft credentials, or complete a survey, close it. A mod is a .jar file. A map is a .zip or .mcworld. Nothing else.
  3. Keep backups of your world before adding new mods.
  4. If you find a resource on this site that links to a suspicious or broken source, report it using the contact page.

Reporting a problem

If a resource is broken, mislabeled, or leads somewhere it should not, use the contact page. If you are a creator and want a resource removed, see Copyright / DMCA.
