Do minecraft mods give you a virus?

Answer 1

minecraft mods can be a lot of fun and add new features to the game, but they can also pose risks if not handled properly. Some mods, particularly those from unreliable sources, might carry viruses or malware. To stay safe, always download mods from trusted sites and check reviews or community feedback before installing them.

Answer 2

Possibly, most well known mods don't though. If you have an anti-virus program you should be fine.

Check the comment/reply section in the mod's thread to see what people are saying about it, if they say it's a virus you should generally stay away from downloading it.
