Read the whole reasonShow less
Moderate evidence · No engine flags it, but no publisher signature confirms who made it.
The file shows no signs of malware; use it if it came from the mod's official source, and keep your security software enabled.
Good practice2 tips
We found nothing harmful in this file.
Run it only if it came from the project's own website.
Keep your security software and system updates switched on.
No scanner can promise a file is 100% safe.

Why we think so
1 point against it and 4 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
Three sandbox runs launched it under Java and recorded no high-risk techniques, no injection into other processes and only the analysis machine's own background network traffic. It is new and rarely seen, so download mods only from their official page.
No engine flagged the file, and every major antivirus engine that analysed it reported it clean. The sandbox runs show Java launching the archive and writing normal Java runtime files, with no persistence, registry changes or injection targets recorded. All network contacts were the analysis machine's own background traffic, and none of the inspected hosts are known bad. Public malware databases and community rules have no listing for this hash. The main limitation is that the file was first seen on Oct 17, 2026 with two submitters.
What We Detected
None of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this Java archive, and all 18 major antivirus engines that analysed it reported it clean. No public malware database or community rule lists this file.
Threat Behavior
Three sandbox runs started the archive with Java. They recorded ordinary Java runtime files, no persistence, no registry changes and no injection into other processes. The only network contacts were the analysis machine's own background traffic.
What To Do Now
The evidence points to an ordinary game mod. Because it is new and rarely seen, obtain it from the mod's official distribution page and keep your antivirus enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- The file is rare and only two days old with two submitters, so engine detections for a newly built malicious mod could still be missing.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including all major antivirus engines that analysed it.
- Sandbox runs recorded no high-risk techniques, persistence or process injection.
- Network contacts were only the analysis machine's background traffic.
- No listing in public malware databases or community rule sets.
- The file is very new and has been seen by only two submitters.

Signatures and behavior heuristics
Low-severity pattern matches — worth noting but not on their own cause for alarm.
VirusTotal's sandbox summary maps this run to MITRE T1055 (Process Injection), but no injected process of the sample's own was recorded (the analysis VM's own WMI adapter, crash handlers and Chrome updater are not counted). VirusTotal maps T1055 on about half of all files no engine flags, so the mapping alone is not evidence of injection.

How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. That limits reputation evidence, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.
