Hi @severe rune! The warning you're getting is an automatic warning from your browser because you are downloading a .jar file, which is the file type Java mods use, these can potentially be dangerous if you download them off of sketchy websites, but this one is completely safe ^^

From the Fog is safe to download.

@severe rune .jar files are possibly dangerous but in most cases like Modrinth of Curseforge, it's safe to download. Don't download .jar files from sketchy websites, that could REALLY harm your PC.

Send me the file

#

Send me a video of you downloading it

Any .jar file does it. It doesn't say that it WILL harm your computer, but it says that it can harm your computer, which isn't the case

#

A simple google search gives you an answer immediately as well
