Thermal Foundation

Active Development: Minecraft 1.18.2
The Foundation of a Thermally Enhanced World!
For nearly a decade, the Thermal Series mods have been a fundamental part of modded Minecraft gameplay. They pioneered game innovations and optimizations that are now used in practically every modern mod. The Forge Energy system was built from Redstone Flux, and many popular mod features - side switching, advanced redstone control, input color coding - first appeared in the Thermal Series.
The Thermal Series is a modular system of mods that allows players, server owners, and modpack creators to easily select needed components and discard unnecessary ones. This provides flexibility and the ability to adapt to various playstyles and game worlds.
Together, these mods create a cohesive gaming experience that significantly expands the Minecraft universe while staying true to the game's lore, but with a technological focus.
This module includes both the "core" and "foundation" - a collection of common components, resources, and tools.
Mod development continues actively, and the series is not yet complete! We're working on it and thank you for your patience. Nevertheless, there's already plenty of content for both newcomers and experienced players. We hope you enjoy the new Thermal Series.
