Description
It's an industrial tech mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge). You mine and process ores, build machines, move Forge Energy (FE) around with cables, pipe fluids, automate your logistics, and slowly work your way up from a single coal generator to a nuclear powered base. There's a guide book inside the game that gets handed to you the first time you join a world, so you don't have to alt tab to a wiki to figure out where to start.
Every machine has its own GUI, an energy buffer and JEI recipes. Crusher, Compressor, Electric Furnace and Extractor for core ore and material processing. Metal Former with switchable Rolling and Extruding modes for plates, rods and wires. Ore Washer and Fluid Enricher for higher yields out of crushed ore and fluids. Restructor, a catalyst driven molecular restructuring machine. Blast Furnace and Rod Fabricator for advanced alloys and reactor fuel rods. Liquefier, Phase Splitter and Capsule Filler for fluid conversion, splitting and bottling. Stone, Lava and Water Generators for renewable resources. Matter Fabricator, which turns raw energy back into matter once you reach the late game.
Voltex registers full KubeJS recipe schemas for all 14 machines, so pack makers can add, remove and tweak recipes from kubejs/server_scripts/. Install ProbeJS if you want autocomplete in your editor. Full recipe reference and examples: https://github.com/jykito/voltex-docs/blob/main/KUBEJS_RECIPES.md
Everything runs on Forge Energy (FE). Generators: Coal Generator, Solar Panels (several tiers), Thermogenerator, and the multiblock Nuclear Reactor. A tiered Energy Backpack with an energy HUD while you wear it. Cables and wires in several tiers for moving power around.
Item and Fluid Connectors with ghost slot filtering, and you can drag items straight from JEI into the filter. Logistics Nodes, pullers and pushers for routing items and fluids around the base, no pipes needed.
A 3×3×3 Miner multiblock that virtually mines ores based on the Lens you put in it (Overworld, Nether, End or All). Each Lens has its own weighted ore table you can check in JEI.
A 3×3×3 reactor with Uranium, Plutonium or MOX fuel rods, heat, coolant and component layouts. Use one of the included stable schemes or design your own. Mismanage the heat and it goes boom.
Universal Capsules can carry any fluid. Fill them in the Capsule Filler and use them across the fluid machines and tanks.
The Cultivator duplicates plants with the Biostimulator, and grows minerals and geodes with the Resonator.
Speed and efficiency modules, plus Parallel Modules (×8, ×32, ×64) to batch process big stacks in machines that support them. Connectors have their own tiered upgrades too.
Crates in several tiers for bulk storage. New ores, metals, dusts, plates, rods and alloys (Tin, Lead, Uranium, Aluminum and more). Ore unification through the standard forge: tags, with AlmostUnified support so it fits into mixed modpacks.
Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47+ JEI recommended, KubeJS optional

Voltex
Voltex is an industrial tech mod for Minecraft 1.20.1. It adds a full progression of machines, power generation, ore processing, automation and multiblocks, built around Forge Energy. If you like factories that turn raw ore into refined materials and then into advanced machines, Voltex gives you a complete tech tree to work through.
The mod ships with an in game guide (Patchouli) that walks you through every system, so you are never left guessing what to build next.
Highlights
- Ore processing that doubles and triples your metal yield
- Over a dozen processing machines, each with its own recipes
- Power from coal, solar panels and a nuclear reactor
- Ten tiers of solar panels
- A 3x3x3 nuclear reactor and a 3x3x3 ore generating miner
- An item and fluid logistics network
- Machine upgrades for speed and parallel processing
- An in game Patchouli guide and full JEI support
Ore processing and materials
Voltex adds new metals and a chain to get the most out of them. The Crusher grinds ore and items into dust for double output. The Ore Washer goes further, turning ore into three dust plus a chance of byproducts using water. Dust is smelted into ingots, pressed into plates, and combined into the components that higher tier machines need.
Machines
A full set of processing machines, each with its own role:
- Electric Furnace, Blast Furnace and Compressor for smelting and compressing
- Metal Former for rolling and extruding metal into plates, rods and wire
- Liquefier and Fluid Enricher for turning items and fluids into new fluids
- Extractor, Phase Splitter and Restructor for specialized recipes
- Cultivator for growing plants and crystals, and a Capsule Filler for fluids
The Blast Furnace is driven by a Thermogenerator that supplies its heat. Most machines accept upgrades and run on Forge Energy.
Power generation
- A Coal generator for early game power
- Solar Panels across ten tiers, from a trickle to serious output
- A 3x3x3 Nuclear Reactor with fuel rods, components and heat management, for the most power at the most risk
Resource generation
Lava, Water and Stone generators produce those resources on demand for your recipes and machines. They run on power rather than producing it.
Automation and storage
- An item and fluid logistics network with filtered connectors
- Capsules for carrying and inserting fluids by hand
- Energy backpacks in three tiers to keep your gear charged
- Machine upgrades: accelerators trade energy for speed, parallel modules let a machine process many items at once, and heat vents manage reactor heat
Multiblocks
- The Nuclear Reactor is a 3x3x3 build with multiple component layouts and a real risk of meltdown if you ignore cooling
- The Miner is a 3x3x3 structure that produces a steady supply of ores, chosen by a lens, instead of digging up the world
Progression and compatibility
Voltex is built around a tiered tech tree, from your first crusher to endgame matter generation. The in game Patchouli guide explains every system and recipe, and JEI is supported for recipe lookup. The mod is friendly to pack makers through KubeJS.
Two optional addons extend Voltex into other mods: Applied Voltex connects it to Applied Energistics 2, and Voltany connects it to Botania.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge
- Patchouli (for the in game guide)
- JEI is optional but recommended
