This appears to be a reputation based heuristic, and doesn't indicate anything other than not very many people who use Norton have scanned that mod.

This method of flagging is prone to false positives.

The mod is open source, you can browse it here: https://github.com/Tschipp/PrimitiveCrafting

The author wrote other mods in the pack such as the popular Carry On.

Absence anything more concrete, I don't see a reason to act on this.

In addition, scanning this file with VirusTotal does not indicate any issues across a broad range of antivirus software.
