A mod for minetest
The technic modpack extends the Minetest game with many new elements, mainly constructable machines and tools. It is a large modpack, and tends to dominate gameplay when it is used. This manual describes how to use the technic modpack, mainly from a player's perspective.
The technic modpack depends on some other modpacks:
- the basic Minetest game
- mesecons, which supports the construction of logic systems based on signaling elements
- pipeworks, which supports the automation of item transport
- moreores, which provides some additional ore types
- basic_materials, which provides some basic craft items
This manual doesn't explain how to use these other modpacks, which have their own manuals:
- Minetest Game Documentation
- Mesecons Documentation
- Pipeworks Documentation
- Moreores Forum Post
- Basic materials Repository
Recipes for constructable items in technic are generally not guessable, and are also not specifically documented here. You should use a craft guide mod to look up the recipes in-game. For the best possible guidance, use the unified_inventory mod, with which technic registers its specialised recipe types.
In-game:
- Resources
- Substances
- Processes
- Chests
- Radioactivity
- Electrical power
- Powered machines
- Generators
- Forceload anchor
- Digilines
- Mesecons
- Tools

This is a maintained fork of https://github.com/minetest-mods/technic with various enhancements. Suitable for multiplayer environments.
- Chainsaw and HV Quarry re-implementation (@OgelGames)
- Switching station lag/polyfuse and globalstep execution (@BuckarooBanzay)
- No forceload hacks
- Additional HV machines (@h-v-smacker)
- LV, MV, and HV digiline cables (@S-S-X and @SwissalpS)
- Chests with digilines and more complete user interface
- Most of network code rewritten
- Many bugs that allowed cheating fixed
- CNC machine with pipeworks, upgrades and digiline support
- Better performance
- various others...
This mod is meant as a drop-in replacement for the upstream technic mod.
It also provides some additional machines and items, notably:
- HV Grinder, Furnace, and Compressor
- LV Lamp
- LV, MV, and HV Digiline cables
Note that the wrench mod has been separated from the modpack. It can now be found at mt-mods/wrench.
