Thermal Expansion Server Hosting

Thermal Expansion is one of the foundational tech mods in Minecraft history, with over 100 million downloads establishing it as essential for technology-focused servers. When you host a Thermal Expansion server, you're providing players with industrial machinery, energy systems, and automation tools that have defined modded Minecraft.

Why Host a Thermal Expansion Server?

Thermal Expansion provides the industrial foundation many players expect from tech modpacks. Machines for ore processing, item transport, energy generation, and automation give players clear progression goals and satisfying factory building. The mod's balance and polish make it suitable for any tech-focused server.

Server Requirements

Thermal Expansion requires moderate server resources. We recommend 4-6GB RAM for servers running Thermal with additional tech mods. Machine processing and energy networks add some computational overhead but are well-optimized.

Redstone Flux Energy

Thermal Expansion uses Redstone Flux (RF) energy, the standard power system for many mods. Machines consume RF to operate, and various generators produce it. This creates meaningful infrastructure decisions around power generation and distribution.

Ore Processing

The Pulverizer doubles ore output, the Induction Smelter creates alloys, and the Phytogenic Insolator grows plants rapidly. These machines form the core of resource processing, providing clear upgrade paths from manual crafting.

Item and Fluid Transport

Thermal Dynamics (companion mod) adds ducts for item, fluid, and energy transport. Build organized factories with clean logistics rather than hopper chains. The visual transport adds factory aesthetic.

Augment System

Machines accept augments that modify their behavior - increased speed, reduced energy, secondary outputs. This customization lets players optimize for their specific needs.

Integration with Other Mods

Thermal works seamlessly with other tech mods. Energy systems are compatible, recipes integrate properly, and multimod factories are straightforward to build.

Long-Standing Quality

The CoFH team has maintained Thermal since early Minecraft modding. This experience shows in balanced gameplay, polished interfaces, and reliable performance.
