This Modrinth page, modpacks using this mod from this Modrinth page, the legacy (outdated) CurseForge page, and my GitHub repositories are the ONLY safe places to download this mod, any other sources should be considered packaged with viruses. Furthermore, If any newer version of this mod (Fabric 1.19 previews or newer) makes it anywhere other than my GitHub repositories, or modrinth, it should also be considered a virus, even if the newer version is on CurseForge. Viruses being spread through infected Minecraft mods, especially on shady websites, and CurseForge have been on the rise so please try to stay safe and download only from official sources.


How To Summon Herobrine:

Please note the crafting recipe for the Altar of Herobrine now uses gold ingots instead of gold blocks. I highly recommend using a mod like Just Enough Items to view every crafting recipe from any mod
