Nuclear Tech: New Horizons
The modpack that the HBM Nuclear Tech mod always deserved.
NT:NH is a hardcore quest-based modpack for Minecraft 1.7.10. The premise is simple: take the HBM Nuclear Tech mod - one of the deepest and most underrated mods in the world of modded Minecraft- and apply the GTNH approach. Structured progression. True depth. A questbook that truly teaches you the mod, rather than assuming you already know it.
What is this?
This isn't a "throw nukes at everything" modpack. Frankly, the nuclear theme is almost secondary here. NTM is a full-fledged industrial simulator: multi-level factory gameplay, chemical processing chains, a hidden lore system, and a decade of active development that most players have never touched. NT:NH is designed to change that.
Over 300 quests will take you from survival in primitive conditions to alloy smelting, energy grid design, chemical processing, fission and fusion reactors, and more!
But even considering that there is some space for exploration! Find dungeons, fight bosses, unlock secrets. Did you know that NTM has lore?? You better check it out!
Key Features
⚙️ Machines That Build Machines - It starts simple: a press, a blast furnace, some steel. Then you're running gas centrifuges, piping chemicals through processing plants, and automating assembly lines. The recipes get complex, the chains get long, but that's where the good stuff lives.
⚡ Power With Consequences - Coal and diesel get you started. Steam turbines pick up the pace. Then comes the nuclear age: Chicago Pile, ZIRNOX, the towering RBMK. Later still, fusion and dark matter waits for the truly committed. Each step demands more infrastructure, more planning, and a healthy respect for what happens when things go wrong.
🧪 Chemistry You Can't Skip - Oil refining, uranium enrichment, petrochemical processing - these aren't side quests, they're the main road. Some materials like Schrabidium have no natural source at all. You'll need to breed them, transmute them, or otherwise convince the universe to make them exist.
☢️ Hazards That Respect You - Radiation scales from nuisance to lethal. It spreads through chunks, kills plants, and lingers where you don't want it. Flammable gases, lung disease from hazardous materials, and the ever-present possibility of a meltdown mean your safety systems are not decorative. Cover your RBMK columns. You'll thank yourself later.
💀 True Difficulty - New hunger system, smarter mob AI, new mobs, and challenging boss battles. Mistakes are costly. Victories are earned.
🚀 Weapons and Rockets, Survival-Ready - The bombs are real bombs now: Gadget, Fat Man, thermonuclear devices, Schrabidium warheads. Craft the explosives, build the missiles, set up turrets and defenses. Everything from warhead to launch button is made by hand in survival.
🌌 Space Is Part of the Endgame - Multi-stage rockets, orbital stations, planets with real atmospheres and bedrock ores. Each destination has its own challenges and its own rewards. Pack a spacesuit, check your drive processors, and try not to breathe the vacuum.
🌍 Over 20 languages - localized by the community via Crowdin
🖥️ Optimized Performance - Angelica and many other optimization mods ensure NTNH runs smoothly even on low-end hardware
📅 Active Development - Monthly releases, community bug reports, and an open organization on GitHub.
