About
GregTech: New Beginnings is an expert progression modpack that guides players through a technology-focused journey toward leaving the Milky Way, with an in-game questbook providing direction. Players begin with basic flint tools, move into Create and rotational-force machinery, then start GregTech progression once they obtain bronze. The pack’s progression spans production and automation through increasingly advanced GregTech tiers, with the quest path currently reaching the ZPM age and further default progression available up to UHV. Exploration becomes part of the technological climb: progression unlocks the Nether, the End, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, and Venus, alongside systems such as bees, Applied Energistics 2, and research. The pack also reshapes crafting and industrial production with custom recipes and machines, including Create millstone ore processing, GregTech alloying and casting, hydroponics, arboretums, and advanced isotope-processing machines. The collection includes more than 280 mods, with Create and GregTech at its core and supporting systems such as Ad Astra, Applied Energistics 2, Ender IO, Sophisticated Backpacks, and NuclearCraft: Neoteric.

Security
No harmful code found in the projects we checked
We checked 281 of its 282 projects and the files in the pack itself, without running them.
Why we show this: a modpack installs the files of its mods, and each mod runs on your computer like any program. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: a modpack has no grade of its own, and each mod's result counts in that mod's grade.

8 mods send something about you
We read the code of 275 of its 276 mods, without running it.
Why we show this: a modpack runs the code of its mods, and 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
- Go online onlyTheir code contacts a web address, for example to check for updates. We found nothing it sends about you.22 mods
- Crash reports or usage dataTheir author declares crash reports or usage data on Modrinth, or such a service is named in their files. Reading their code did not show it.1 mod

We have not looked for AI tools in the pack itself yet.
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.
