Tier

GTNH is divided up into tiers. Each new tier unlocks more materials, machines, multiblocks and mods available to use. The first ten tiers up to UHV are considered fully implemented, while major changes are still in development for UEV-MAX. Tier is a common term used by many mods, to represent the player's level of progress of any sort; other tiered mechanics are listed below.

  1. ↑ Approximate. See Electricity for precise values.
  2. ↑ This is also the primary resource used at this tier, either available in the previous tier or very early after unlocking it.
  3. ↑ Can be converted into a Chisel form and harvested, then turned back with Chisel again to circumvent the mining level requirement.
  4. ↑ Only a Nether Small Ore until the Twilight Forest in LV.
  5. ↑ Nether Small Ore only until T2 Rocket.
  6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 Technically both the Nether and End are available from Stone Age, however it's strongly discouraged to visit either without sufficient preparations. The End Dragon is buffed and quite difficult without Flight, regeneration and a good ranged weapon.
  7. ↑ 7.0 7.1 This ore is available earlier as a small ore, but only plentiful after unlocking the Twilight Forest.
  8. ↑ Glowstone is available as early as Nether access, or easily farmed in LV with Biome o' Plenty Glowflowers.
  9. ↑ Used to be available from Villager trades earlier; the trade was removed in version 2.8.0.
  10. ↑ Titanium Reinforced Borosilicate
  11. ↑ Tungstensteel Reinforced Borosilicate
  12. ↑ Rhodium-Plated Palladium Reinforced Borosilicate
  13. ↑ Iridium Reinforced Borosilicate
  14. ↑ Osmium Reinforced Borosilicate
  15. ↑ Neutronium Reinforced Borosilicate
  16. ↑ Cosmic Neutronium Reinforced Borosilicate
  17. ↑ Infinity Reinforced Borosilicate
  18. ↑ Transcendentally Reinforced Borosilicate

Mods by Tier

Most child mods are rolled into their parent mod for the purposes of this table. Exceptions are made where the child-mod content is vastly different in gating, such as with Gendustry. Not listed on this table are mods without any gating or player-craftable content, like world generation, utility/performance mods, or the addition of mobs.

  1. ↑ A few bits of Draconic Evolution unlock earlier, such as the Item Dislocator (LV) and Disenchanter (HV). Most require draconium at minimum.
  2. ↑ Forestry includes Extra Bees, Extra Trees, Botany, Genetics & Binnie Core. Mostly gated at late Steam/early LV.
  3. ↑ Gendustry requires significant bee breeding advancements (plutonium, uranium, naquadah, etc.) to progress and is mostly gated to LuV+. It's scoop and grafter unlock at HV.
  4. ↑ Post-Moon; Personal Dimension is a Quest Book reward only, cannot be crafted.
  5. ↑ See Stone Age Thaumcraft. The intended start point for TC is early MV. The Infusion Altar can be constructed as soon as a 40 vis craft is possible, if an Eye of Ender is acquired via Villager trade or other means.

Processing by Tier

Items marked with + are possible at their listed tier but usually made in a higher tier due to either late gating, power demand, not needed until then, or the expense of the recipe.

  1. ↑ Tier of crop that can be duplicated = (Machine Tier+2)/2, so while technically available at LV, cannot make seed bags for any desirable crops except Stonelillys at this point.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Requires Data Orb(s) to operate, even though the machine itself can be made much earlier.
