What it does

Research Tree gives other mods and modpacks a way to build a full tree of research, progression steps and gated goals. Because the trees are data-driven, a pack author can define them without writing new code. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 1.21.1-0.0.2 dated 2026-03-25.

Key features

  1. Data-driven trees

    Research trees are defined through data, so mods and modpacks can create entire trees without custom code.

  2. Pack-level progression

    Modpack authors can shape the pace of a game by deciding which steps a research tree holds.

  3. Open source library

    The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and source, issue tracker and wiki links are public.

What the author says

Ever needed a mod to help stop people from speedrunning the game from nothing to space in half an hour? Well, now you can make that process much longer! (With a side of "Oh come on:("!) Research Tree allows mods and modpacks to create entire trees to make the game more fun!
