SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Users browsing Minecraft mod repositories risk downloading cheat clients or malware disguised as legitimate mods, and manually spotting deceptive patterns like keyword stuffing, missing source code, and direct executable links is error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Red Flag Detection: Identifies misleading branding, cheat-related keywords (ESP, KillAura, Vape V4), topic spam, and description mismatches in repository READMEs. - Download Link Analysis: Classifies download URLs as GitHub releases, direct executables, or external redirects and assigns a risk verdict. - Risk Scoring Engine: Computes a 0-100 risk score from star velocity, topic count, license mismatches, and missing source code, mapping it to LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/CRITICAL threat levels. - Use Case: A user finds a trending "Mod Manager" repository and asks the agent to verify it; the skill scans the README and metadata, flags the Vape V4 cheat references and .exe download, and recommends legitimate sources like CurseForge or Modrinth. ## Quick Start Analyze this Minecraft mod repository for security issues and tell me whether it is safe to download.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if a Minecraft mod is malware?▼

Check whether the repository provides full Java or Kotlin source code, uses official mod loaders like Fabric or Forge, and distributes through CurseForge or Modrinth. Red flags include direct .exe downloads, cheat keywords like ESP or KillAura, and descriptions that mismatch the repository title.

What are the red flags of a Minecraft cheat client repository?▼

Common red flags include closed-source executables, claims of undetectable features, PvP advantage keywords such as KillAura or Aimbot, excessive topic tags for SEO, and title/description mismatches like claiming to be a Mod Manager while promoting Vape V4.

How is the risk score calculated for a suspicious repository?▼

The scanner adds points for each indicator: 25 for cheat keywords, 30 for executable downloads, 20 for missing source code, and 25 for misleading descriptions. Totals map to threat levels, with 75 or above classified as CRITICAL.

Can legitimate Minecraft mods trigger false positive warnings?▼

Yes, performance mods like OptiFine or Sodium and server administration tools may trigger warnings. Verify them by checking for full source code, active commit history, Fabric or Forge manifests, and cross-referencing the mod name on official Minecraft forums.

What is the difference between legitimate modding and cheat client distribution?▼

Legitimate mods provide full source code, use official loaders like Fabric, Forge, or Quilt, and include manifests such as fabric.mod.json. Cheat clients ship closed-source executables, use external injection, and advertise PvP advantages like ESP or Aimbot.
