From additional types of games, such as Pixelmon, to making the digital Minecraft world look as realistic as the real world! However, you have to first download and install these mods into your game files. Unfortunately, a recent discovery reveals that some modifications are doing more than tweaking visuals or gameplay.

These fake Minecraft mods appeared convincing, complete with polished descriptions and high star counts, tricking even experienced users into downloading them. But instead of enhancing gameplay, the files delivered malicious Java loaders designed to compromise personal devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once active, these loaders installed stealthy secondary payloads that targeted sensitive information. Victims had their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/minecraft-ventures-into-real-world-with-global-theme-park-deal\/\"><strong>Minecraft<\/strong><\/a> credentials, Discord sessions, and even cryptocurrency wallets harvested without warning. The final stage involved a powerful .NET-based malware called\u00a0<em>44 CALIBER<\/em>, which dug through browsers, VPNs, and local files before leaking the stolen data through Discord webhooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What made these attacks especially deceptive was their sophistication. Fake popularity metrics on GitHub gave users a false sense of security, while the malware remained virtually undetectable during initial use. By the time players noticed anything wrong, their data was already gone.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"438\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Minecraft-Mods.jpg\" alt=\"Minecraft mods \" class=\"wp-image-17171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Minecraft-Mods.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Minecraft-Mods-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Minecraft-Mods-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailybase.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/06\/Minecraft-Mods-585x320.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: UnAnything Wiki <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-minecraft-s-modding-community-became-a-prime-target\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Minecrafts_Modding_Community_Became_a_Prime_Target\"><\/span><strong>Why Minecraft&#8217;s Modding Community Became a Prime Target<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The keyword&nbsp;<em>Minecraft mods<\/em>&nbsp;might suggest a niche interest, but in reality, the community sees over 200 million active players each month. That kind of volume makes it a natural target for cybercriminals, especially when many players are teens and young adults who might be less cautious about downloading third-party content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The growing use of GitHub for sharing mods has only expanded the attack surface. Developers often turn to the platform for its flexibility and reach. However, the content shared on GitHub doesn&#8217;t have to go through strict vetting or moderation. This is exactly the reason why it&#8217;s become a backdoor for malicious actors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-protect-yourself-from-these-mods\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_protect_yourself_from_these_mods\"><\/span>How to protect yourself from these mods <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t protect yourself 100% from getting infected with this type of malware if you download third party software. However, there are ways you can minimize your chances. For example, you can always use trusted platforms like CurseForge. This platform offers basic protections on the mods you download through their platform. These safety measures make them a safer choice for users looking to explore mods without compromising their security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
