About
HBM's Nuclear Tech Modernized is a from-scratch reworking of HBM's Nuclear Tech, combining radiation hazards, industrial machinery, advanced equipment and nuclear weapons. Its industrial content includes multiblock assembly machines and presses, wood-burning generators, electrical generators, accumulators and cables, alongside ores, radioactive materials such as uranium and plutonium, and advanced alloys. Radiation accumulates from the environment and radioactive items, spreads between chunks and fades over time, can cause effects ranging from confusion and weakness to death, and at high levels turns grass and foliage into dead variants. Players can monitor exposure with a Geiger counter that provides sound and a HUD indicator or with a simpler dosimeter, and use perk-modified armor and radiation-protective gear to face hazardous areas. Tools include vein mining, while the weapons roster includes grenades and weapons made from different materials. Explosions can produce craters shaped in part by the blast resistance of blocks, with radiation, fallout and visual effects; nuclear blasts can also leave mobs as skeletons. The mod also features ballistic missiles launched from pads, target-designation tools and radar tracking, with radar-linked anti-ballistic missiles that can intercept incoming threats. Its power armor sets include the T-51b, AJR, DNT and Bismuth, with abilities such as thermal vision, a built-in Geiger counter and a VATS-style display of mob health. The project remains in pre-alpha, with incomplete features and missing recipes, so its systems and available content are still developing.
Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it
In-game changes
Changes the game's code in 5 areas: World renderingChanges 2 game code files in this area: drawing the terrain, sky, clouds and weather., Rendering and graphicsChanges 2 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen., Mobs and their behaviorChanges 2 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act., PlayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls. and Inventory and itemsChanges 1 game code file in this area: items, chests and other containers, crafting and enchanting..
A library packed inside it changes 16 more game code files: Architectury.
Adds 955 blocks, 1,900 items, 5 mobs, 3 biomes, 20 structures, 1 painting, 1,026 recipes, 2 advancements, 19 loot tables, 111 sounds and 5 key bindings.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in the mod's own code and in Architectury, a library it includes. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends about you
We read its code without running it: it contacts 2 web addresses while you play.
Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.
The author declares on Modrinth that it shows advertisements.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- gist.githubusercontent.comDownloads tips shown in the mod.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.
- Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.Checks Modrinth for a newer version of the mod.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.
AI
AI was used for its code
The author declares AI code on Modrinth.
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Declares AI code. No AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Not read yet
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found16 changelogs read
