Black Hole Storage: Taming the Void for Infinite Resources in Minecraft
Late-game Minecraft modpacks often push players to engineer solutions for ever-growing energy and fluid demands. Black Hole Storage takes that challenge to a cosmic extreme, letting you craft and maintain your very own controlled singularity. This mod by Zeitheron of the DragonForge team transforms the terrifying concept of a black hole into the ultimate storage device — capable of holding infinite amounts of RF or any fluid you can pump into it. If you've ever dreamed of bending spacetime to solve your storage woes, this is the mod for you.
What Is Black Hole Storage?
At its core, Black Hole Storage is a tech mod that introduces player-created black holes as a means of limitless containment. Unlike the naturally occurring voids that would tear your world apart, these hand-made singularities are stable and entirely safe — as long as you can supply the astronomical energy required to birth them. Once formed, a black hole can store an infinite quantity of either a single fluid or Redstone Flux (RF), acting as a bottomless tank or battery. The mod even includes an API, allowing modpack creators to add custom storage types, so you could theoretically store mana, essence, or other exotic resources from your favorite mods.
The Ultimate End-Game Challenge
Don't expect to whip up a black hole in your first hour of play. This mod is deliberately positioned as an end-game goal, demanding infrastructure that rivals the most demanding tech trees. To even begin, you'll need to generate and store billions of RF — a feat that requires massive power setups. The mod author explicitly suggests pairing Black Hole Storage with something like Solar Flux Reborn to meet the energy demands. You're looking at a total investment of roughly 33 billion RF just to create your first singularity, not counting the power needed to run your factory. This isn't a side project; it's the crowning achievement of a well-established industrial base.
Crafting Your First Black Hole
The journey starts with a single, deceptively simple machine: the Atomic Transformer. This block is your gateway to manipulating matter at a fundamental level. Feed it exactly 1 billion RF, and it will produce a piece of Dark Matter — a substance so dense it bends light. But Dark Matter alone isn't enough. You'll need to place that Dark Matter inside a Black Hole Former, then supply the Former with an additional 32 billion RF. Only after this colossal energy transfer will the Former collapse the Dark Matter into a stable, miniature black hole ready for use.
When you're ready to dive into this cosmic engineering, getting the mod installed is straightforward. You can easily install it via the foxygame.net launcher — a convenient, flexible, and modern Minecraft launcher where you can download mods right from the menu, saving you the hassle of manual file management and ensuring all dependencies are handled smoothly.
Here's a quick breakdown of the resources you'll need to birth a black hole:
- Atomic Transformer – the crafting station that initiates the process.
- 1 billion RF – fed into the Atomic Transformer to create Dark Matter.
- Dark Matter – the exotic material required by the Black Hole Former.
- Black Hole Former – the multiblock-like device that consumes Dark Matter and 32 billion RF.
- 32 billion RF – the final, massive energy input to trigger the collapse.
Storing Infinite Fluids and RF
Once your black hole exists, you can interact with it like any other tank or energy cell — just without the capacity limits. Pipe in steam, lava, water, or even modded fluids like cryotheum, and the singularity will swallow it all without ever filling up. The same goes for RF: hook up your power cables, and the black hole becomes an infinite battery, storing every last RF your generators produce. This makes it the perfect buffer for massive autocrafting systems or as a central energy hub for sprawling bases. The API also means that clever modpack authors can extend this behavior to things like Botania mana or Thaumcraft essentia, turning the black hole into a truly universal storage medium.
Permissions and Community
Black Hole Storage comes with clear usage guidelines from its creator, Zeitheron. You're free to include the mod in any modpack, but you cannot re-upload it to other sites without providing a CurseForge download link and obtaining explicit permission. Building add-ons is encouraged, though a friendly PM to the developer is appreciated. Importantly, the only supported Minecraft version is the latest one the mod exists for — no backports are planned, so don't ask. For technical discussions, API help, or just to follow development, you can join the DragonForge Discord server or follow Zeitheron on Twitter. If you'd like to support ongoing work, a Patreon page is available.
Tips for Harnessing the Void
Because of the insane power requirements, you'll want to plan your energy infrastructure carefully. Pair Black Hole Storage with high-output generators like Extreme Reactors, Draconic Evolution's energy core, or the aforementioned Solar Flux Reborn. Automate the entire crafting chain with Applied Energistics 2 or Refined Storage to keep Dark Matter production flowing without constant babysitting. Remember that chunk loading is essential — if the chunks containing your black hole unload, you could lose the stored data, so always use a chunk loader to keep the singularity active. Finally, while the black hole itself is safe, the infrastructure around it can still explode if you misconfigure your power lines, so double-check your setups.
Black Hole Storage isn't just another tech mod; it's a statement. It tells your world that you've mastered energy production, automation, and the very fabric of reality. The reward is a storage solution that laughs at the concept of limits, letting you focus on even grander projects. If you're looking for the ultimate end-game goal that combines massive resource investment with a tangible, game-changing payoff, crafting your own black hole might just be your next obsession.
