Intelligence

The page presents itself as the download site for Horion, a Windows-only Minecraft Bedrock utility mod linked to an archived GitHub project. Our research uncovered two direct scam reports, one calling the client a trojan on independent review aggregator and another noting Malwarebytes Riskware.Injector detections on forums, plus five total complaints. A single Reddit post claims it is safe, but this is outweighed by the malware warnings. The domain is over four years old with no business registration, and the page shows medium-confidence Minecraft branding on a non-official domain. These signals together indicate elevated risk for anyone downloading the client.
