Voltz Banner Logo

Hello, and welcome to the starting guide for the Voltz mod pack. For information on how to install the Voltz modpack, click here.

Now that you have the mod pack installed, you're probably wondering where to start or what to do next. Well, you've come to the right page. By now, you should already know how to make all your basic tools, shelter and most of everything found in vanilla Minecraft. Unlike Tekkit, the Voltz mod pack expands on vanilla Minecraft while maintaining a "universal electricity" system. It also adds many new features, equipment, and ores. Here we will go over some of the things that will help you get started on new projects and gameplay.

First Steps: Preparing Materials

Basic Electricity
Getting Started Guide

Assuming you already have your basic tool set and a form of shelter, we can begin some of the basic construction.

One of the first tools you'll want to make is a Paxel, this way you can have all the benefits of a shovel, axe, and pickaxe all in one tool. All you need to do is make yourself a stone shovel, pickaxe, and axe, place them along the top row of a crafting table, and then place two sticks down the middle. Now you have yourself a Paxel. Paxels can be made from different types of tool sets such as diamond or gold tools, as well as many other ore tools that have been added to the game by Mekanism.

  Stick

Note: The Paxel has the same durability as a single normal tool. While it will save inventory space by combining three tools into one, it will also wear out after as many uses as a single normal tool.

Now that you have your Paxel we can go do some mining for some of the new ores introduced by the Voltz mod pack. Some of the basic materials we are going to need to mine right now are Iron Ore, Tin Ore, Copper Ore, and Platinum Ore. You will also need to mine a whole bunch of coal and redstone to power the machines in the beginning. Once you have collected all of the materials, melt some of your metal ores into ingots, but not all of them. Here is a good minimum shopping list of materials for a Coal Generator and a Battery Box.

Once you have done that, we can move onto the next step.

Second Step: Get Power

Steel and Bronze

Now that we have our stuff we need to start combining it all together. First we need to turn some of our materials into Bronze Ingots and Steel Ingots.

Make some Bronze Dust

Do the same thing for Steel Dust and Steel Ingots

Before moving on to the next step make sure you have Steel Ingot10 and Bronze Ingot7.

Motors, Batteries, and Wire

Now we can start making some components.

Insulated Copper Wire - These are used for the Motor Below

Now we can make a Motor

The last components we need are some Batteries.

After all your crafting you should have Motor, Insulated Copper Wire2, and Battery3

Put It All Together

Finally, we have everything we need to make our first power connection. Here are the final things we need to build.


Coal Generator

Bronze Ingot Motor Bronze Ingot


Battery Box

You can now place the Battery Box and the Coal Generator in the world. To connect them, place the remaining Insulated Copper Wire on the ground like you would redstone, making sure to connect the black hole on the Coal Generator to the red hold in the Battery Box.

Place some Coal into the Coal Generator and it should spring to life after roughly 10 seconds.

Right-click on the Battery Box and you should see it filling with power!

Third Step: Using Power

Once you have gathered all your materials from the previous step, we can move on to the next phase.

Craft 3 Enriched Alloys

Craft 2 Control Circuits

Craft the Metallurgic Infuser

Now that we have the Infuser, we can go ahead and make some Bronze Ingots as well as Steel Ingots. First will be the Steel Ingots, which are made by putting Enriched Iron and Compressed Carbon in the Infuser.

Now for some Compressed Carbon

Add those together in the Infuser with some redstone in the charge slot and you get Steel Dust. Make 9 Steel Dust and smelt it in a furnace. We will use the steel for the next machine, the Enrichment Chamber, which is where the Tin Ore will go.

Make a Steel Block with the 9 ingots you just created, 2 more Control Circuits, 2 redstone, and 4 Enriched Alloys.

Add the items from the previous steps together like so to create the Enrichment Chamber.

With the Enrichment Chamber we can make dust straight from ores, which is what we're gonna do with Tin Ore. The Enrichment Chamber will give 2 dust per ore.

Once you have some Tin Dust, go back to the Metallurgic Infuser and insert the Tin Dust and Copper Ore into it. This will then start producing your Bronze Ingots, which will create our power source. When you're ready, continue on to the next tutorial, located here: Electricity Tutorial
