HBM’s Nuclear Tech Mod (NTM) is a sprawling, content-rich Minecraft 1.7.10 Forge mod that brings a fully realized nuclear technology progression to survival gameplay. Starting from humble ore deposits and basic crafting benches, players work their way through an elaborate tech tree spanning industrial machinery, oil refining, chemical processing, and ultimately nuclear power — including fission reactors, fusion devices, a particle accelerator, and weapons of varying destructiveness. The mod does not shy away from complexity: radiation exposure, fuel enrichment cycles, multi-step fluid processing chains, and high-stakes reactor management are all core parts of the experience. Whether you want to build a functioning RBMK reactor, launch nuclear missiles, or simply power your base with a steam turbine, NTM provides the systems to do it.

What NTM Adds

NTM’s content spans dozens of interconnected systems, all feeding into a single coherent tech progression:

Nuclear Fuel Cycle

Mine uranium and thorium ores, enrich them through centrifuges and chemical processing, and produce fuel rods for fission reactors. Multiple isotopes (U-235, U-238, Pu-239, and more) support different reactor designs.

RBMK Reactor

Build and operate the iconic RBMK channel-type reactor. Manage coolant flow, control rod insertion, and xenon poisoning to keep your reactor stable — and learn what happens when you don’t.

Fusion & Particle Accelerator

Progress toward late-game fusion reactors and a full particle accelerator. These systems unlock exotic materials and enormous power outputs unavailable through fission alone.

Radiation System

Radiation is simulated in real time. Radioactive blocks, fallout, and contaminated fluids all emit radiation that accumulates in your body. Protective equipment — starting with lead armor and hazmat suits — is essential near nuclear materials.

Oil Processing

Locate oil deposits with detectors, extract crude oil with derricks or pump jacks, and process it through multi-stage refinery chains (Oil 1, 2, and 3) to produce diesel, kerosene, polymer, rubber, explosives, and much more.

Advanced Machinery

Hundreds of machines handle pressing, assembling, centrifuging, smelting, chemical processing, and fluid handling. A custom pipe and cable network connects everything, with fluid identification keeping pipelines organized.

Weapons

From conventional firearms and artillery to dirty bombs, fission devices, and thermonuclear warheads, NTM includes an extensive weapons system. Missiles can be targeted at coordinates and launched from silos.

Automation

Machines support item and fluid piping, conveyor belts, autoloaders, and OpenComputers integration for programmatic control of complex systems including the RBMK reactor.

Download NTM

Pre-compiled releases are available on both major mod distribution platforms:

Download on Modrinth

The recommended source for the latest stable releases, with version history and changelogs.

Download on CurseForge

Available on CurseForge for use with launchers like the CurseForge App and Prism Launcher.
You can also download compiled JARs directly from the Releases section on the GitHub repository. Each release includes a compiled JAR under the “Assets” section along with a changelog. Make sure to read all changelogs when updating between versions, as NTM’s progression systems evolve actively.

Community Ports for Newer Minecraft Versions

The official NTM targets Minecraft 1.7.10 and will not be ported to newer versions by the original author. However, the community has produced several independent ports and remakes: For Minecraft 1.12: For newer Minecraft versions:
Community ports are independent projects — they may differ significantly in content, balance, and stability from the original 1.7.10 mod. Check each project’s own documentation for details.
