ForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.12.2

What it does

Its tech tree spans machines for refining and utility work, explosives that must be synthesized, and guns, along with abandoned structures to explore. Nuclear weapons are not plain TNT: a warhead needs enriched uranium before a missile can carry it. The author describes the edition as the most up to date 1.12.2 release of the NTM line, bringing that version closer to the feature set of the earlier release, with reactors, rockets, nukes, weapons and bunkers.

Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It targets Forge 1.12.2 only, with the latest Forge file being 3.0.3 for 1.12.2, released 2025-11-17, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. The source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. Optional integrations include Galacticraft-Legacy, GroovyScript, Had Enough Items, OpenComputers and Quark, and JEI is recommended because the recipes are numerous and complex.

Key features
