The verdict, reasoned out.

Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.

Moderate
Reasoning

The file exhibits a classic benign-software profile: zero tier-1 malware detections, high prevalence (common_old classification), and no confirmed malicious children or C2 contact. However, the consistent SUSPICIOUS verdicts from FileScan.IO and the presence of anti-debug and obfuscation techniques create ambiguity. The offensive MITRE techniques (T1543.002, T1562.001) are ambient to Java runtime execution and Oracle Java privilege management, not indicative of malicious payload. The evasion indicators align with legitimate mod obfuscation rather than malware family behaviour. No tier-1 engine identified a malware family, and no sandbox malicious verdict was recorded.

Key signals · 5

Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.

  1. engines.tier1Malicious=0; 17 tier-1 engines (Avast, BitDefender, Kaspersky, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Emsisoft, others) all undetected

  2. prevalence.classification=common_old; 67,224 submissions across 3,742 sources; file age 905 days — consistent with established Minecraft mod

  3. behaviour.offensiveTechniques=[T1543.002, T1562.001] are ambient to Java runtime privilege escalation for Oracle usage tracking, not malicious payload indicators

  4. droppedChildren.hasMaliciousChild=false; 10 children inspected, all verdicts unknown, no malicious confirmed

  5. communityComments: FileScan.IO flagged SUSPICIOUS (5 reports, 100% confidence) citing anti-debug, base64, obfuscation — consistent with legitimate mod evasion, not malware family

Points in its favour
  • All 17 tier-1 antivirus engines report clean (Avast, BitDefender, Kaspersky, Microsoft, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Emsisoft, others)
  • High prevalence: 67,224 submissions across 3,742 sources; file age 905 days indicates established software
  • No malicious children confirmed (10 dropped files inspected, all verdicts unknown)
  • No contacted malicious hosts; no C2 beaconing detected
  • Filename consistent with known Minecraft mod project (Fapcraft)
Points against
  • Anti-debug and obfuscation techniques detected by FileScan.IO (5 independent analyses, 100% confidence)
  • Unsigned JAR file with no publisher verification
  • T1543.002 and T1562.001 MITRE techniques (though ambient to Java runtime)
  • Base64 encoding and masquerade tags in FileScan analysis
What to do

Do not execute this file on production systems without further investigation. If obtained from an official Minecraft mod repository, the risk is lower; if from an untrusted source, isolate and scan with updated antivirus before use. The tier-1 engine consensus suggests low malware probability, but FileScan's consistent evasion flags warrant manual code review or sandboxing in an isolated environment.

Files are processed in a streaming pass-through — MalwareTips never stores the binary on its servers. Only the scan result (hash, detections, verdict) is retained so the next person who scans the same file gets an instant answer. If you ran this file on your computer and are worried, scan your system with an up-to-date antivirus and change critical passwords from a different device.
