Star Technology Showcase
Star Technology is built around one of the most infamously difficult and rewarding mods in Minecraft history: GregTech CEu Modern. It takes the best ideas from classic expert packs and transplants them into a challenging skyblock environment, forcing players to engineer solutions for everything, starting with the very air they breathe. The pack is directly inspired by other technical modpack legends, including Nomifactory, GregTech: New Horizons, and Technological Journey. If those names excite you, prepare for the next evolution of the ultimate technical challenge in Minecraft 1.20.1.
Deep Progression & The Ultimate Grind
The complexity of Star Technology lies in its intense progression system, which completely overhauls crafting. Reaching the next technological tier requires exponentially more infrastructure than the last, leading to massive, rewarding projects.
The pack is fully playable up to Maxwell (mid UIV, or Ultra High Voltage). This already represents hundreds of hours of demanding gameplay. Importantly, the pack features custom additions that extend the progression path even beyond UHV, ensuring that technical players have goals that will last for years. This is a game of mastery, not rushing.
From Dirt to Deep Space
In a skyblock setting, every single resource must be generated or imported – nothing is easy.
- The Start: You begin with the primitive resource gathering of the Ex Nihilo family of mods, shaking down trees and sifting dust to get the bare essentials needed to progress to your first machine.
- Advanced Tech: The challenge pivots dramatically as you advance. You must engineer difficult, large-scale systems to maintain your resource supply, utilizing void miners, building and managing oil drilling rigs, and constructing sprawling, complex processing lines to refine everything into usable components. This journey from sifting dirt to automated space mining is the core of the pack.
Guidance & Companions
While the pack is brutally difficult, you aren’t left entirely in the dark. However, you’re responsible for your own mental health during the grind.
- The Quest Book: Your most valuable asset is the comprehensive Quest Book. It is constantly updated with every release, serving as the essential roadmap for your journey through the GregTech progression. Pay close attention to its guidance, as there is little room for error.
- Komaru: To support you through the countless hours of machine maintenance and complex wiring, the pack introduces Komaru, a loyal feline companion. This small addition provides some much-needed emotional support during the intensity of the grind!
Dimensional Frontiers
Once you have mastered the Overworld and achieved late-game progression, Star Technology introduces ways to access new frontiers. Through complex Dimensional Travel mechanics, primarily utilizing stargates, you can explore the universe, seeking out exotic materials and resources needed to craft the highest-tier technologies and complete the final custom progression goals.
Discover The Universe
Star Technology is a modern technical masterpiece, offering a challenge that truly tests the limits of engineering skill and patience. It’s a testament to dedication, promising immense satisfaction for every milestone achieved, from the first furnace built from sifted dust to your first warp through a stargate. If you and your friends are ready to face a technical undertaking unlike any other, your time to start the grind is now.
Common Issues
In cases where you’re completely unable to join the server, double-check that you’ve installed the Star Technology modpack through CurseForge and launch the game from that. Additionally, see if your Apex server panel has successfully loaded the modpack.
We recommend lowering the render distance or other visual / graphic settings since this modpack is demanding. However, if all players on the server are lagging – then view our Modded Optimization Guide to find solutions.
You might want to increase the allocated memory on the CurseForge App to allow this modpack to run without any problems. This can be done by accessing the settings, then clicking Minecraft and scrolling down to Allocated Memory. However, there could be other reasons for the crash and may require you to do some troubleshooting.
This can happen for various reasons, but we strongly recommend contacting our Support Team. We will give you the assistance needed to resolve this problem. However, you can generate a new world to confirm if the world data is corrupted or causing the crash. If the server starts and doesn’t crash on a new world, then the old data is the reason.
