Mods & downloads

Rules for using the Minecraft content published on this site.

Original content

Unless otherwise stated on a download page, mods and related files on Zerw are created and published by us. You may download and use them for personal, non-commercial Minecraft play unless a specific mod page states different license terms.

Your responsibilities

• Install mods only if you understand how to back up your worlds and use Minecraft safely.
• Follow any version, loader, or installation notes shown on the download page.
• Do not use our mods to violate Mojang/Microsoft usage guidelines or the law.
• Do not package or sell our mods as if they were official Minecraft content.

No warranty on downloads

Downloads are provided “as is.” Mods may break after Minecraft updates, conflict with other mods, or cause world issues. Always back up your game data before installing anything.

External links

Some version downloads may redirect to external hosting. Those third-party sites have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content or availability.

Privacy policy

Retention & security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it when reasonably possible. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no online service is 100% secure.

Your choices

Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. Contact us through the Contact Us page. You can also clear browser cookies and local storage on your device.

Advertising & cookies

Third-party advertising

We use Google AdSense and may use other advertising partners to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place or read cookies in your browser and use web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to collect information as a result of ad serving. They may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.

• Preference cookies: remembered settings such as favorites stored locally.

Consent choices

Where consent is legally required, visitors are given choices before non-essential advertising storage or personalized advertising is used.

Visitors may withdraw or change their choices through the privacy options provided by that platform.
