## Main Features

### Ballistic Missiles

A fully functional intercepton system have been ported: ABM missiles intercept incoming missiles, with detection and tracking handled by the reworked radar system.


#### Radar & Anti-Missile Defense


The radar system was rebuilt to detect and track missiles entities in real time.

• Radar GUI refactored** - second slots menu, entity and missile tracking, redstone output modes, height-map mode.
• Radar Screen** - new block with a special renderer and a GUI proxy linked to a radar.
• Radar Linker** - new item to link radars ↔ launch pads and radars ↔ radar screens.
• Linked radar → launch pad** lets you fire missiles using keybinds **1–9**.
• Optimized radar block entity tick code to reduce TPS freezes.
• Anti-Ballistic Missiles (ABM)** now intercept incoming threats tracked by the radar.



### Simple Interception setup

1. Set up a **Radar Station**, wire it with **Launch Pads** using **Redstone**

2. **Radar** will detect inbound missiles if powered

3. As the **Missile** is too close, the **Radar** will start emitting **Redstone signal**

4. The **Anti-Ballistic missiles** shoot up and **automatically** aim at the target!

### New machines and mechanisms

• Ported BAT9000
• Added logic to barrels


• Gas centrifuge - partially
• Some WIP content is temporarily removed from creative tabs

### Other improvements

#### Create mod integration

• HBM doors now work on Create contraptions!** - they animate and move with moving trains, with dynamically changing collision (works on dedicated servers too)



#### Config and Multiblock overhaul

• Cloth Config is no longer required!** The mod now ships its own config system with a split between **server** and **client** settings and a modernized config screen.


• Improved multiblock system** - placement offset support and an **auto-repair** routine that tries to fix the saved structure automatically if the machine size or part roles were modified.
• Fluid ducts** now play a placement sound and are visible in the Search Tab / JEI; rad absorbers likewise.

#### Rendering

• Fixed OBJ transforms for some models.
• New door models / skins: **Cargo Door**, plus a new skin for the **Large Vehicle Door**.
• Sliding Blast Door** renderer finished.
• Transition Seal** renderer + open/close sounds.

Sliding Blast Door

Transition Seal

New Cargo Door

New Large Vehicle Door skin

• Huge thanks to **@hexagon_inc** for .dae models parser - without his contribution, the Transition Seal and Sliding Blast Door would have remained inoperative*

#### Content and World

• Structure loot tables!** - HBM structures now have proper loot (There will be no loot in chunks generated in previous updates)


• Some random loot pool examples*

• Nuclear crater biomes** - Now they feature radiation (0.5, 5 and 25 rad)
• Fatman Nuke** - increased explosion radius

#### UX/VFX

• Added **Mob Skeletonization** logic - now nuclear explosions turn mobs into ash and dust, leaving behind only a skeleton (only villagers and mobs with player-like model). Added Confetti Effect Tester item (creative only) to test effects.


• Fat Man Nuke**'s GUI have been updated, as well as all of its components.

• Color Gamma** - ported original crater biomes color gamma & fog




• Improved **Missile sounds & strike visual effects**

### Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused a crash when placing an **Assembly Machine** on a dedicated server.
• Fixed a bug that caused the client to crash when opening the **manual designator** GUI.
• Fixed radar not detecting missiles (new inteception logic)
• Fixed a bug where a cross-shaped lattice of water blocks would remain after the Fat Man nuclear bomb exploded.

#### Machine Upgrades (accelerators)

Port of the classic HBM **machine upgrade** system: insert upgrade items into dedicated GUI slots to boost compatible machines. Each type comes in **Mk.I / Mk.II / Mk.III** tiers; levels stack up to the per-machine cap (usually 3).


| Upgrade type | Effect |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Speed** | −25% processing time per level; increases power draw |
| **Power** | −25% energy consumption per level |
| **Overdrive** | ×2 processing cycles per tick per level; extreme speed at high cost |
| **Effectiveness** | Better range/effect; free-craft chance on some machines |
| **Fortune** | Increased output yield where applicable |
| **Afterburner** | Additional processing effects on supported machines |

• Machines with working upgrade logic:** Chemical Plant, Oil Derrick, Fracking Tower, Cyclotron. Crystallizer has upgrade slots and GUI hints; full upgrade processing is still WIP.

<img src="https://i.ibb.co/V0XNFMCT/image.png" alt="изображение" border="0">

#### WIP content

• RBMK** - columns with renders, **without full reactor logic**.
• Volcano missile warhead** - TODO
• Crucibler, Cyclotron, Breeder, Mixer** (in lang - WIP, but Derrick has logic)
• Steam infrastructure** (Watz, Hydrotreater, Cracking Tower, etc.) - decorative/WIP blocks
• Missile recipes in Assembler and other machines
• Bad JEI support for some machines
• Fuel from launch tanks - *"temporarily not required (WIP)"*
• WIP content is hidden** from creative tabs.

### Fluid System

The internal **MK2 fluid network** was ported and heavily reworked.

#### Network balancing and priorities

• Connection priorities** (LOWEST → HIGHEST) - receivers are filled highest-priority first; within the same tier, demand is split **proportionally** between all connected tanks and machines.
• Pressure levels** and per-connection **speed caps** - providers and receivers negotiate how much fluid moves per tick, matching original HBM behavior.
• Infinite source/sink bypass** - Infinite Fluid Tank can force-fill or force-drain an entire connected network in one tick when appropriate.

#### Fluid pipes and routing

• Fluid Ducts** - standard (NEO), **colored**, and **silver** variants; ducts carry a single assigned fluid type through the MK2 pipe graph.
• Ducts connect to **Fluid Tank**, **Chemical Plant**, **Oil Derrick**, steam infrastructure, **Zirnox**, **Cyclotron**, and some other machines.

<img src="https://i.ibb.co/C5fTMB37/2026-06-11-10-49-39.png" alt="2026 06 11 10 49 39" border="0">

#### Fluid Identifier

• Two fluid slots** (primary / secondary) - RMB swaps them; Shift+RMB in air opens the selection GUI.
• Shift+RMB on a Fluid Duct** - paints the identifier's fluid onto the **entire connected duct network** of the same duct type.
• Shift+RMB on a Fluid Tank** - sets the tank's fluid filter in-world with feedback message and sound.
• Improved tooltips and network packet sync for remote GUI control.

### JEI and Integrations

• Just Enough Items (JEI)** - categories with NEI GU styleI:

| Category | Catalyst Machine |
| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Anvil | All Anvils |
| Assembler | Assembler + Advanced Assembler |
| Centrifuge | Gas Centrifuge |
| Chemical Plant | Chemical Plant + Chemical Factory |
| Cyclotron | Cyclotron |
| Crucible Casting / Alloying / Smelting | Crucible, Foundry Basin |
| Arc Welder | Arc Welder |
| Soldering Station | Soldering Station |
| Crystallizer | Crystallizer |
| Press | Press |

• Clicking on the progress area in the GUI opens recipes (recipe click areas).
• Subtype interpreters for **Fluid Barrel**, **Fluid Identifier**, **Assembly Template**.

## Conclusion

One day, I had the idea to add my own item to the game. So I added a single item "for five minutes." It was an advanced alloy sword. And I really liked the process. Then came the first radiation system, then the assembly machine, the energy system, the first contributors came... and for a year now, we've been methodically porting HBM's Nuclear Tech mod to version 1.20.1, trying to preserve the spirit of the original as much as possible. This is our personal project, not a commercial product, but it takes hundreds of hours, and every bit of your feedback gives our team the strength to continue.

🇨🇳 A special thank you to the **Chinese community**. You seem to be the mod's largest and most visible audience: views, downloads and patience with pre-alpha bugs. Without you, this port would be much lonelier.

• Help with translations.** Russian and English are handled in the code; all other languages ​​are handled through **Crowdin**. Even a few translated strings in zh_cn or ko_kr` greatly improve the experience of thousands of players.

### SavageVegeta's explosives review!

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7q_dIFabcJs" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>


It’s been a quiet period, but certainly not an idle one. We’ve been focused on improvements, and today, we’re excited to roll out a brand-new update.

## 💣 Explosives, Airstrikes, and Effects

• Crater Generator (v2.0):** Completely rewritten. Now uses 3D Perlin noise to create realistic jagged edges. A raycast crater generator has been implemented that takes into account the the blast resistance of blocks! Implemented asynchronous biome synchronization (inner and outer crater). Improved crater generation speed, reduced TPS spike.






• Airstrikes:** Added bomber entities. Can be summoned using airstrike designator item . Implemented 4 airstike types: random grenades, 3 powerful high-explosive bombs, Agent Orange and 1 Tactical Nuclear Bomb.



• Chemical Weapons ("Agent Orange"):** Added a sprayer plane and natural geysers that emit this toxin. Implemented particle physics for the substance: it falls like a liquid, deals withering damage to mobs, destroys foliage, and turns grass into dead version.



• New Explosive Blocks:** Added Balebomb and Airbomb (with throwable versions). Throwable versions explode on impact with the ground, block versions needs detonator.

[](https://postimg.cc/Yv8kxsx7)

• Block Protection:** Implemented a nuclear blast resistance system (Concrete: 250, Bedrock: 10000, etc.). These values ​​are now displayed in item tooltips. Directly affect on nuclear crater generation.

• Visual Effects:** Created a centralized ExplosionParticleUtils handler. Particles (mushroom clouds, shockwaves) are now measured at a huge distance (512+ blocks). Added a camera shake system and UI for explosions.


## 🏭 Multiblock Mechanisms

• New architecture (MultiblockStructureHelper):** Structures are now defined by flexible text layouts (layers) in code. This allows us to create structures of completely different and non-standard shapes, not just cuboids. Improved a part role system: added ladder role. You can climb ladders on Ore Acidizer & Fluid Tank now!

• New Machines:** Added large-scale machines: Centrifuge (1x1x4), Chemical Plant (3x3x3), Ore Acidizer (3x3x6), Fluid Tank (5x3x3 for 256 buckets), and Hydraulic Fracturing Rig. **However, currently no functionality present. WIP.**



• Interfaces (GUI):** New menus for all necessary machines have been implemented.

## ⚡ Energy (EnergyNetwork v3.0) and Liquids

• Network Recycling:** Implemented a cascading priority system (High -> Normal -> Low). Low priority energy storages are emptied first and filled last. High priority -> emptied last, filled first

• Fluid System:** A fluid registry built from scratch using Forge (oil, gases, acids, plasma, molten metals, isotopes, etc). Added items for an infinite fluid source (WIP), fluid barrels and a customizable Universal Fluid ID. Using this Fluid ID you can change Fluid Tank's filter and skin. **However, the mod currently lacks fluid transfer logic.**



## 🛡️ Power Armor

• Armor Mechanics:** Added power armor sets (T-51b, AJR, DNT, Bismuth) with bonuses for completing a full set (FSB, WIP).


• Abilities:** Active skills added: VATS system (displaying mob health), Thermal Vision, Built-in Geiger Counter and area damage when falling from a great height (HARDLANDING_SMASH).



If you face issues with Thermal Imager shader, rendering path can be switched to compatible in config (Night vision, red hitboxes)

• Protection:** Implemented custom Damage Resistance system for Power Armor (WIP)

• Modification:** An armor upgrade system has been improved: added battery mod that increases power armor energy capacity.

### 🚪 Doors, Crates, and Inventories

• New Doors:** Completely reworked logic. Ported all updated door skins. Added a GUI for selecting skins/models. You can switch between legacy <-> remastered models and textures now using a screwdriver!





• Large Vehicle Door:** The first exclusive skin has been added: Radiation! Made by ThePhoenixKnight


• Vault Door:** Implemented new door: Vault Tec!


• Door Logic:** Finally, added redstone support! You can open/close doors remotely!

• Crate System:** Unified through a base class. New types have been added (Template, Tungsten, Desh). Exploit protection has been implemented: crates cannot be put inside of another crate. Tooltips now show exact items .



• Meteorite sword:** Added Meterorite Sword with custom obj model. Made by ThePhoenixKnight.


### 🖥️ Rendering, Animation, and Integration

• Optimization (VBO and Instancing):** Rendering of complex vehicles and doors has been switched to batching (rendering hundreds of parts in a single call). This has dramatically increased FPS. The cost caching system has been rewritten. Improved and optimized model Occlusion Culling. If annoys you too much, can be disabled in Config (Alt + 0, Rendering Tab)


• Shader Compatibility (Iris/Oculus):** External shader detector has been improved. If the player enables external shaders, the mod automatically disables conflicting VBOs and switches to safe baked models and the vanilla pipeline. Improved perfomance with shaders.


• Animations:** Added a .dae (Collada) parser with bone hierarchy and matrix interpolation support (HUGE WIP). Needs for Transition Seal (WIP) and Sliding Blast Door (WIP). Added working animations for Legacy Assembler machine.

• Visual:** Added toast notifications in left upper screen corner. Used by Power Armor notifications

• Ore retexturing!** Made by ThePhoenixKnight

• (Almost all ores were retextured, shortened for brevity)*

• Splashes:** Added varios main menu splashes. From original & new ones. 70% - vanilla splash, 30% - mod splash.




etc.

## 🛠 Bug Fix

• Multiblocks:** Now structures can't be washed away by water!

Added proper collisions for doors. For example Secure Access Door now always has a solid and impassable base. Fixed multiblock doors sounds

• Server Side:** Fixed various bugs related to server. Now mod should be playable on multiplayer servers! (but that's not certain)

• Rendering:** Shader compatibility greatly improved. Now multiblock doors and other machines should properly render with any shader!

• Blast Furnace:** Fixed GUI not opening

• Other minor fixes

# Introdusing energy transfer/storage system!
This commit introduces a complete energy system, including transfer and storage, forming the core of this update. It also includes several quality-of-life improvements and prepares for future content.

• Energy System:**
• Added Red Copper Wire for energy transfer.
• Introduced the Machine Battery, a block energy storage unit.
• The Machine Battery can store energy and supply it to consumers like the Assembly Machine.
• It features a GUI for management and can be controlled via redstone signals (supply on/off).


• New Features & Improvements:**
• Radiation Overlay:** A new configurable screen overlay of chaotic dots now appears when the player receives radiation, enhancing visual feedback.


• Assembly Machine I/O:** The assembler can now pull resources from adjacent inventories (e.g., chests) at its conveyor input and eject finished products into inventories at its output.
• Multiblock Structure Placement:** A check has been implemented to prevent multiblock structure formation if obstructing blocks are present, displaying a corresponding message to the player.

• Future Content:**
• As the original blue-cased, glass-roofed assembly machine was deprecated in the latest HBM versions, work has begun on a new, updated version.
• For now, this exists as a multiblock structure with a model & its own custom Block Entity Render for.. animations?? But no operational logic currently present.
• Both the classic and the new assembly machines will be available in the mod. Full functionality for the new machine will be implemented in a future update.

# INTRODUCING THE ASSEMBLY MACHINE!


## This is a massive content update centered around our first-ever multiblock structure.

• Presenting: The Assembly Machine!**

Added a fully functional, multiblock Assembly Machine with a custom hitbox! It features a modular crafting system via new Assembly Templates. This marks a new era for crafting in the mod, featuring a deeply modular system driven by craftable Assembly Templates.
Engineer complex components with our new energy storage system, powered initially by the Creative Battery.


To support this, we've introduced the Template Folder for designing new schematics, and a whole new tier of ingots and plates exclusively craftable in this new machine.


• Template Folder GUI with working search bar*

• Key Fixes & Refactoring:**
• CRITICAL:** Annihilated a duplication bug in the Armor Table.
• Performance:** Significantly optimized the radiation system by overhauling the handleWorldDestruction method using MutableBlockPos.
• Optimized recalculateChunkRadiation** for more efficient processing.

• New Content:**
• Assembly Machine:** Added a fully functional, multiblock Assembly Machine with a custom precise hitbox. It features a modular crafting system via new Assembly Templates. Howewer, currently no animations. Only sounds.
• Energy System:** Implemented an energy storage and transfer system for machines.
• New Items:**
• Added Creative Battery as the initial power source for the assembler.
• Added Template Folder to create new crafting templates. Templates can be crafted in survival.
• Added a variety of new ingots and plates, craftable in the Assembly Machine.
• Recipes & Datagen:** Fully integrated the new machine and items into the data generation pipeline with custom recipes.

• Other Changes:**
• Refactored project structure for better organization (renaming files, moving classes).
• Implemented a robust networking layer for machine state synchronization.
• Added custom tooltips and GUI elements for the new systems.

• P.S**

I decided to abandon the implementation of animations in the mod at this stage and focus more on functionality, in order to first create a solid skeleton out of core mechanics, which will then be covered with "meat" - QoL content and other less important things. Functionality > Visuality

feat(core): Implement Armor Modification and Data Generation Overhaul

My first Public Release!

This major update introduces a complete armor modification system and fundamentally refactors the project's architecture by implementing a full data generation pipeline. This simplifies future content additions and improves overall code quality and maintainability.

• Armor Table now fully functional!!
• Added neat interaction sounds
• Created a base ItemArmorMod class for all future armor modules.
• Added new modification items:
• Heart Piece:** Increases player's maximum health.
• Giorsium Lining:** Adds radiation resistance.
• And some others**
• Completely overhauled item tooltips for both armor and mods to be dynamic, context-aware (e.g., hiding mod lists via SHIFT), and more informative.

• Introduced a new radiation protection system based on an absolute resistance value.
• This absolute value is converted to a percentage-based damage reduction using an exponential formula (1 - e^-kx), providing diminishing returns.
• Vanilla armors have been assigned base resistance values.
• Total resistance is calculated from the base armor plus all installed radiation protection mods.
• The Geiger Counter and Dosimeter now display the player's current absolute and percentage-based radiation protection.

• RadAway:** Added a new consumable item that applies an effect to reduce a player's accumulated radiation.
• Block Geiger Counter:** A placeable, functional block version of the Geiger counter has been added. It features a custom OBJ model, provides radiation info on right-click, and outputs a redstone signal proportional to the radiation level.
• Some new ingots (including radioactive ones)**

• Refactored the entire asset and data registration process to use Forge's Data Generation system (runData).
• Manual .json files in src/main/resources have been removed and are now generated in src/generated/resources.
• This automates the creation of:
• Item and Block models
• Block states (for simple, custom-sided, and OBJ-modelled blocks)
• Language files (en_us.json, ru_ru.json) from a central source
• Item and Block tags (including OreDict and custom mod tags)
• Custom Damage Types
• Established a central ModIngots enum to streamline the addition of new metals and materials.

• Refactored the radiation damage system to use modern Damage Types.
• Fixed a critical bug where player health would not correctly update after unequipping armor with health-boosting mods. Implemented a robust, tick-based check to resolve the issue.
• Restructured client-side event handling for better separation of concerns (e.g., ArmorTooltipHandler, ModTooltipHandler).
