NTM Versions and Forks

Multiple different versions of the mod exist. Consequently, the original project been forked a number of times. This page serves as a list of the most important and creditable versions.

Note: The developer(s) of the unofficial ports or spin-offs have no meaningful association with the developer of true 1.7.10 NTM, HbMinecraft.

## (Main) Versions

There are mainly four publicly released (or pre-released) versions/forks of the mod available:

* 1.7.10 NTM (official)
* 1.18.2 NTM Remake (maintained by MartinTheDragon, pre-release)
* 1.12.2 NTM Reloaded (maintained by TheOriginalGolem and 70000hp)
* 1.12.2 NTM Alcater Edition (maintained by Alcater)
* 1.7.10 NTM JameH2 Edition (maintained by JameH2)
* 1.12.2 NTM Hamster Reloaded (maintained by Coldalliance)

## Differences and Disclaimer

Each version has its own quirks and changes that aren't necessarily in the official 1.7.10 release.

Please note that it is ***heavily*** recommended to play the official 1.7.10 release, as it always has the latest content, as well as being survival-ready and "completable", which, currently, cannot be said for any other version.

## 1.7.10 Official Release

Original and main version of the mod, in development since 2014. It is recommended to play this version over any other versions, as it features the latest content. It's currently the only "official" version of the mod. This wiki will always default to referencing and documenting this version, unless otherwise stated.

## 1.18.2 NTM Remake

This version of the mod is a remake, rewritten from scratch by MartinTheDragon for 1.18.2, meaning it isn't a fork. The project started in 2019, originally for 1.12, was rewritten again for 1.14, then ported to 1.16 and finally 1.18.2, which is planned to be supported for an extended period of time.

It has some quality-of-life changes, as well as generally being adapted to the newer version it was made for. For instance with newer ore textures and behavior. Unlike other versions, it is also fluid and energy compatible with other mods. This technically is what makes it a remake and not a pure port.

The project is still in development, with only pre-releases available, and will need time before it is playable in survival mode.

## 1.12.2 NTM Reloaded

This version was directly forked from the 1.7.10 repository in 2019 and changed until it functioned by Drillgon200, who stopped working on the project in 2021. That fork was later forked again by TheOriginalGolem in 2021, which was in turn forked yet again by 70000hp in 2022, continuing development. Together with Alcater's version, these forks share some commits and changes via pull requests and merges.

Drillgon200 added numerous exclusive features, for example the Crucible.

The forks of the project are still being developed. While several new features from the official 1.7.10 project are missing, and a long list of bugs and issues exists, it is playable in survival.

Originally was a pure port, save for the few odd exclusive features and changes to better suit the 1.12.2 game version, it eventually became more of a remake.

## 1.12.2 NTM Alcater Edition

This version was forked from NTM Reloaded. It features many changes, adds alot of exclusive content, new VFX for nuclear explosions and has a rather different balance than the original 1.7.10 NTM. Due to the amount of changes and additions to features, progression, and general balance, many of which some consider to be "weird" or "arbitrary", it is generally considered a spin-off, rather than a port or remake.

It is not recommended to play the versions 1.8.5 and below of the mod since those had messed up balance and were not playable in survival. That has changed since the big rebalance update 1.9.0 which made it playable and balanced for survival again.

Which 1.12.2 fork you choose is up to you. They both have their benefits and drawbacks so try them both and stick with the one you liked most.

## 1.7.10 NTM JameH2 Edition

This version was forked from the original 1.7.10 NTM version. It features a number of progression changes, and additional content. For instance:

* New ores/minerals and fluids (nitrogen, nickel, stainless steel, etc)
* Different processing methods
* More item hazards (neutron radiation, nerve agent, etc)
* New machines (atmospheric compression and liquefaction towers, etc)

This fork is a spin-off of the original 1.7.10 NTM, it is still recommended to play the original version, if you'd like the most faithful NTM experience. That being said, whichever version you choose is entirely up to you and your tastes, both are survival-ready.

## 1.12.2 NTM Hamster Reloaded

This version was forked from the Alcater Edition. It features exclusive content from all the previous 1.12.2 ports and unported content from the original 1.7.10 version. Currently, it only contains small changes and bug fixes, but the changes that are there currently include:

* Tweaked some armors strength to take advantage of attribute fixes if it is present within the pack.
* Added Radiation Resistance to some blocks
* Tweaked Radiation resistance of most armor
* Reworked coal and lignite damage system
* Added Cross Compatibility for more mods
* Fixed some chunk generation Bugs
* Added missing crafting recipes to items

Overall, this port is fairly new, only being 2 weeks old as of writing, but even though this is true, there is hope for its survival.
