In response to recent reports, it has been identified that a harmful user established several accounts and propagated projects laden with malware onto our platform. Consequently, Curseforge have taken action and suspended all associated accounts.
Working in conjunction with the author community, the CurseForge team has instigated an in-depth investigation to promptly rectify this issue and establish safeguards to prevent such malevolent activities in the future. Our foremost goal is to deliver a quick resolution and put preventive measures into place.
This article will offer guidance on how to utilize a detector tool that will assist in identifying any potential malware infection on your computer.
Identifying Possible Infection
There exist two scenarios:
- You might have downloaded a contaminated mod but have not yet activated it (i.e., you haven’t started the mod in Minecraft). A continuously updated list of such suspect projects can be found below. In this situation, you’re still safe; all you need to do is eradicate the mod using the CurseForge client.
- If you have already initiated an infected mod, or for the sake of caution, download and run the detection tool available here. You can also find the GitHub project here.
What Should I Do if I’m Infected?
In case the detection tool confirms an infection, please adhere to the subsequent steps:
- The tool will supply a catalog of the detected files on your computer. Refer to the image here.
- If you’re certain that these files were not intentionally saved by you, navigate to each file location and erase these files.
- You can run the tool again post deletion to ensure complete removal.

Projects with Resolved Infections:
- Majority of projects from LunaPixelStudios – It’s recommended to confirm you have the most recent version of any modpack, as the required corrections should be already implemented in those modpacks.
