NLTech: Space Technologies
by NotLife
NLTech: Space Technologies is a Fabric technology mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that builds an industrial progression from primitive mining toward space-age machinery.
What it does
Players start with primitive mining, new ores, crushing, hand sifting and refining impure dust. Heat slowly moves that work toward steel machines, power systems, oil logistics and eventually industry at a space-age scale. The mod is built around the feeling of earning each stage from the ground up, and it also covers planets, systems and travel between dimensions.
Crude oil seeps can be found in ocean biomes, which brings oil into the progression early. The mod is in early alpha, so the content is still limited and the developers are asking for suggestions on what to build next. Its current focus is a solid foundation of primitive progression, material forms and ore processing that later content can build on.
Installation covers the client and the server, since the environment is client and server and both need the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 0.1.0-alpha.1 as the latest build from 2026-05-17 on the alpha channel. The mod was first published on 2026-05-10 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Primitive ore processing
Ores are crushed, hand sifted and refined into impure dust that moves through the early stages of the chain.
Material forms
Materials appear as item-related and ore-related forms, which feed the crushing and refining steps.
Crude oil seeps
Oil seeps in ocean biomes give players a path into oil processing and the machinery built on it.
Planets and systems
Planets, systems and travel between dimensions are part of the space-age direction of the progression.

How it compares
Industrial ReZolution is open source under the Apache License 2.0, built for Fabric on 1.20.1 and set to client and server. Axon Technologies is also open source under the Apache License 2.0 for Fabric on 1.20.1, with the same client and server environment. Black Archive is not open source, is released under All rights reserved, and supports Fabric, Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1 with client and server environment, so it covers more loaders than NLTech.
