Yes, many old download links and YouTube tutorials from 2021 still exist. However, we strongly advise against downloading them. Even if the mod worked in 2021, those files are now years old, unsupported, and more likely to contain malware than functional cheats.
Furthermore, the legitimate Mini Militia community has since moved on. Most active players today use the official version from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
The reaction to the 2021 mod menu explosion was split directly down the middle.
The "Casual Fun" Argument: Many players, especially private lobby hosts, argued that mod menus revitalized the game. After 10 years, playing Capture the Flag legitimately was boring to them. They would host "Mod vs. Mod" rooms where everyone had fly hacks and rapid fire, creating a chaotic, over-the-top gameplay experience reminiscent of Dragon Ball Z battles.

For players with older devices or those who just want a reliable cheating experience without constant bugs, the 2021 files remain a gold standard in the modding community.
This is a complex question.
The Argument FOR Mod Menus (2021):
The Argument AGAINST Mod Menus (2021):
From an ethical standpoint, ruining public lobbies for the sake of personal fun is indefensible. However, using mods in private, password-protected rooms with consenting friends is a victimless (though still Terms of Service-violating) act.
Why were these mods so popular? The feature lists were extensive. Based on surviving forum posts from 2021 (on sites like Platinmods, BlackMod, and HappyMod), the standard mod menu included:
