Why did VirusTotal detect a virus in the Modrint installer?

Make sure it's official file yeah but make sure you downloaded from modrinth.com not smh like m0drinth.com or something

if issue is same then it's probably a false flag

I downloaded the mod from this page:
https://modrinth.com/app

Then it's probably a false flag

Can you please check on your computers? Maybe there will be a different result, or is it still a site error?

its one anti virus, that i've never heard of. and im sure most people have never heard of.

false positives exist in a lot of things aswell
