CurseForge mods are now safe to use again! ✅😊 twitter.com/CurseForge/status/1668959362096721920 Once again, if you have downloaded any of the listed (updated) mods from any of these websites, please check your system immediately

⚠️*VERY IMPORTANT* ⚠️ phoenixsc missed this but, In order to see the folder you need to enable hidden files.
-
I'm glad CurseForge was transparent about it, instead of hiding it under the bed to not look bad for allowing a virus. Kudos to them, i mean it.
-
I don't use mods so thankfully I'm not affected, but man, seeing this after I've just returned to Minecraft for the first time in years made my heart skip a couple of beats
-
As a mod developer, I’m so glad I saw this today. I had plans to work on and upload new versions for my mod to curseforge (the only platform I use atm) in the next few days, as well as downloading several mods to play with friends. Thank you for informing us, I may have dodged a bullet
-
I feel like it's so easy to just not be a piece of shit and commit crimes in a game targeted for young children, but certain people really are the worst aren't they.
-
Good that the community went nuts over this real quick Bad that even the checkers might have infected versions in the internet
-
While I may not have that mod installed nor playing on the latest version of Minecraft, I thank you for informing not just me, but everyone!!
-
The mod "When Dungeons Arise" was one of the mods infected. I was gonna download it for 1.16.5 for my latest video, but i ended up not doing so because i felt like i had enough dungeon mods. Thank god i didn't pedal back on that decision.
-
Good job covering this. Its amazing how quick the community was to make virus scanners for it. Props to the contributers!
-
Phoenix may make cursed content, but the fact that he also makes serious content like this and warns others about a virus is why I enjoy his videos.
-
Tysm for the information, I totally didn't know about this and was planning on downloading some mods on Curseforge today but forgot too. You have saved me.
-
So that everyone knows, the little window that Phoenix used to type %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft Edge is called run. It is preinstalled to ALL windows computers and can be opened by pressing WINDOWS KEY + R Hope that helps.
-
just a little reminder to you all, even if you haven't downloaded any of these mods, you should still check it.
-
WOW I'm feeling grateful right now. My brother and I got Minecraft back after a while (like years) of not being allowed to, and we were planning on doing mods. However, the whole thing was very stressful, ironically partly because of viruses, so we decided not to do mods. Clearly that was a good thing. I personally like not having a virus uploaded to my computer, thank you very much.
-
Thanks for the info :) I thought one of the mod names seemed familiar, but it turned out it wasn't one I had downloaded. I hadn't downloaded any mods in quite a long time, so I wasn't really worried, but it's good to be informed. Oddly, I didn't have the Microsoft Edge folder OR the MicrosoftEdge folder. Instead, I had an Edge folder inside of a Microsoft folder. Might be a Windows 10 vs 11 things if I had to guess.
-
Thanks for posting this here as well, the more people that share it the better as it’s obviously not going to be heard by everyone if it’s posted in just the more “hardcore” modding communities!
-
As a Modder myself this Situation is extra serious for me. How this will continue or if the Virus will Stick around for a long time is something we dont know. This is such a big topic that I feel Mojang will see this and maybe do something since Modding has been the Thing that kept Minecraft alive for so long. To all the Modders out there: Stay safe and continue what you are doing even if something like this is Happening.
-
great to know, just started playing modded again and im glad to say both the file scanner and appdata came back clean
-
Thank you so much!! I was aware of this issue and I was looking up video's and I found elsewhere I needed to see if I have "Microsoft Edge" file with the space "MicrosoftEdge" is fine and I found "Microsoft/Edge" and I was in panic and then I saw you made a video about this and the the / is okay, with gives me an huge releave! Thank you!
