What it does

Vim! is a companion to the Nukacraft mod. Its stated purpose is to finish the survival mode that Nukacraft leaves open, filling in items and recipes the base content does not cover. The mod is classed under Utility and runs on Forge only, with no Fabric or NeoForge build.

Both the client and the server need Vim! installed, because it is a client and server mod. Builds exist for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, six release versions in total, and the latest Forge file, 1.0.0, targets 1.20.6 and was published on 2026-02-24. The first release dates from 2025-05-20. The code is not open source; it is licensed All rights reserved.
