Zero Point
by glebosstime_
Zero Point is a Forge technology mod for 1.20.1 that adds machines, alloys, a radiation system and circuit tiers.
What it does
The mod is about harnessing fundamental forces of reality. Players start by crushing coal and stone in a bowl, then work up to extracting energy from stabilized singularities, a process the author describes as a machine step toward the void. Radioactive items tick inside the inventory and affect the player over time, so a full radiation system has to be managed alongside production.
The content centers on gathering resources and managing the consequences of doing so. Five tiers of circuits and a set of unique alloys support the new machines, and a singularity can detonate if it is handled carelessly. Black holes are listed as upcoming content, along with further singularity features.
Zero Point runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-08-21. It is first published 2026-07-28 and is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Singularity energy
Energy can be extracted from stabilized singularities, a late-stage step in the mod's power chain.
Radiation system
Radioactive items tick in the inventory, and the radiation they produce is tracked across the game.
Five circuit tiers
Circuits come in five tiers, each one feeding the machines and alloys added by the mod.
Unique alloys
The mod adds alloys that are made only through its own machines and recipes.

Use cases
Early progression
Crushing coal and stone in a bowl is the first step, before the singularity machines become available.
Managing hazards
Players who handle radioactive materials need to plan storage and exposure, since the radiation system is always active.
Who it’s for: Players who want a technology progression built around machines, circuits and hazardous materials on Forge 1.20.1. Server owners who run modpacks with a radiation mechanic will also need it installed on every client.
