Universum
Universum is a sci-fi technology and exploration modpack for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.
Start with a familiar Minecraft survival experience, then push your progression into advanced machinery, interdimensional travel, rare materials, and Stargate-inspired endgame technology.
The pack is built around long-term progression. Quality-of-life improvements make the early game smoother, while custom quests, recipe changes, world-generation tweaks, and cross-mod balancing guide you toward high-tech automation and exploration beyond the Overworld.
What can you expect?
Stargate-inspired progression
Work your way toward building and powering your own Stargate.
Travel to other worlds, discover rare resources, and unlock advanced technologies inspired by the Stargate universe.
Technology-focused gameplay
Universum focuses mainly on technology, automation, machines, power systems, advanced crafting chains, and industrial progression.
Instead of rushing directly into the endgame, you gradually build your technological base and unlock more powerful tools, resources, and systems over time.
Custom quests and guided progression
Universum is not just a random collection of mods.
Custom quests help guide you through the pack, explain important progression steps, and give structure to your journey. They are designed to make the experience clearer without removing the feeling of discovery.
Exploration across dimensions
Explore new environments, gather rare materials, and discover resources that are required for advanced crafting and Stargate progression.
Some important materials are intentionally tied to specific dimensions, encouraging exploration instead of keeping all progression inside the Overworld.
Balanced cross-mod integration
Recipes, world generation, and progression paths are adjusted to make the pack feel more consistent.
The goal is to connect multiple mods into one coherent experience instead of having many separate systems that do not interact with each other.
Custom Stargate materials
Universum introduces Stargate-inspired materials such as Trinium and Naquadria, used in advanced crafting and endgame progression.
These materials are not just decorative. They are part of the pack’s progression and are required for important late-game technology.

Custom SGC Materials
Trinium
Trinium is an exceptionally lightweight and strong metal inspired by the Stargate universe.
In Universum, Trinium can be found deep in the Niflheim dimension. It can be processed and refined into Trinium Alloy, which is required for advanced Stargate-related crafting.
Trinium Alloy is used in important late-game components, including Stargate technology such as the Trinium Iris.
Naquadria
Naquadria is an unstable high-energy isotope of Naquadah.
Unlike Naquadah, Naquadria appears as a solid ore, but it must be processed into liquid form before it can be used in advanced technology.
Naquadria can be found in the Oannes dimension and is required for late-game progression involving Modern Industrialization and SGJourney.
Recommended playstyle
Universum is designed for players who enjoy:
- technology progression
- automation
- exploration
- long-term survival worlds
- structured quest-based gameplay
- Stargate-inspired science fiction
- building a powerful base over time
The pack is best played as a longer progression experience rather than a short adventure pack.
