Overview
Thermal Dynamics is a tech mod created by TeamCoFH. The logistics module of the Thermal series, adding item, fluid, and energy ducts with servo and filter configurations. As a tech mod it concentrates on machines, automation, and resource processing, and it has been downloaded around 70 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.
Thermal Dynamics is built for Thermal players who need to move items, fluids, and power around. It supplies the duct transport network for the Thermal series, with attachments like servos and filters for precise logistics. It rewards a bit of learning, so expect to spend some time understanding its systems before they click.
The mod is available for Forge and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It runs on both the client and the server, so on a multiplayer server every player who connects needs it installed alongside the server itself.

How to install Thermal Dynamics
Thermal Dynamics supports Forge and NeoForge; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, so make sure your profile uses one of those versions.
- 1Choose and install one mod loader from Forge and NeoForge for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.20.1 and 1.21.1).
- 2Download the required dependencies for the same version and loader: CoFH Core and Thermal Foundation. Thermal Dynamics will not load without them.
- 3Drop the Thermal Dynamics .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and make sure every connecting player has it too.
- 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm Thermal Dynamics appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and the dependencies above.
Supported Minecraft versions: 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Always download the build that matches your version exactly, as mod files are version-specific.

Thermal Dynamics works particularly well alongside CoFH Core, Thermal Foundation, and Thermal Expansion. It depends on CoFH Core and Thermal Foundation, so those must be present and on the same loader and version. It targets the Forge side of the ecosystem, so it fits comfortably into Forge and NeoForge packs.
Thermal Dynamics has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.
If you are comparing options, similar mods include Ender IO conduits and Pipez. They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
