Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml is detected by machine learning I believe. Many jars are hit by this (JEI / Cloth Config / etc) I believe it is just a false positive from Microsoft Defender, nothing much can be done here except reporting it as such.

So the Microsoft Defender is treating the newest REI version as a virus? That's surprising, I was about to report this very issue.

Now my question is how to get around Microsoft Defender? Or just deleted the newest Jar until a fix is found?
