All the Mods 10 (ATM 10) is one of the most expansive and feature-rich modpacks available for Minecraft, combining cutting-edge Technology, Magic, Exploration, and Automation mods. With so many different mods at your disposal, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the vast array of possibilities.
This guide is designed to help players navigate some of these options. Whether you’re just starting your journey or are deep into late-game progression, these 20 carefully curated tips will assist you in mastering the essential tools, mechanics, and strategies that All the Mods 10 has to offer.
1
Vein Miner for Instant Mining
ATM10 features the extremely useful Vein Miner mod. By default, players can press the grave key (`) to instantly mine entire veins of ore, trees, or connected blocks; it’s not just limited to ores.
One of the standout features is the shape selector. While Vein Miner is active, holding SHIFT and scrolling the mouse wheel allows players to change its mode, switching from “Shapeless” to options such as “Small Tunnel” or “Staircase.”
This method allows for personalized digging strategies, such as creating a neat branch mine, a staircase upwards, or a spiral descent. This technique is a crucial early-game strategy that remains effective as the game progresses.

Silent Gear: Custom Tool Arsenal
Silent Gear provides a dynamic and modular tool-building experience. Instead of simply crafting a standard Pickaxe or Sword, players can create templates, heads, rods, and bindings using a wide variety of materials, such as Stone, Iron, Diamond, Obsidian, and more.
The journey begins with basic materials, such as Cobblestone, Dirt, and Logs, which are used to create an Anvil and Template Boards. These boards are then utilized to craft blueprints, including the Pickaxe Head and Rod Templates. Tools crafted with Silent Gear do not completely break; instead, they become unusable when their durability reaches zero.
Tools can be repaired indefinitely. As players collect better materials, they can swap out parts instead of crafting entirely new tools. For instance, attaching a Diamond Head to a Stone tool to upgrade its mining level. This system allows for extensive customization, particularly with materials like Enderium or Allthemodium later in the game.

Nature’s and Explorer’s Compass
Finding biomes and structures in ATM10 is much easier with these two companion tools. Nature’s Compass helps players select any biome, providing directional guidance and the distance to the nearest one. Its recipe is straightforward, requiring 4 Logs, 4 Saplings, and a vanilla Compass. This tool is essential for locating rare areas, such as the Deep Dark, where players can eventually obtain Allthemodium.
The Explorer’s Compass operates like a standard Compass but is specifically designed to locate generated structures in the game. It can help players find Bastions, Mineshafts, and structures from mods. While it is slightly more expensive to craft, its effectiveness in locating Nether Fortresses and Woodland Mansions is unmatched. It’s especially helpful with mods like Cataclysm to find each dungeon.
4
Jetpacks for Early Game Flight
Traveling in ATM10 becomes significantly easier once players obtain a Wooden Jetpack from the Iron Jetpacks mod, especially when paired with Mekanism’s Free Runners. The Jetpack, powered by FE (Forge Energy), allows for vertical movement and hovering, and it’s pretty affordable in the early game. Whereas Free Runners provide step assist and prevent fall damage, simplifying terrain navigation.
Power them using a simple Wind Generator and the Player Transmitter from Powah. The Player Transmitter wirelessly charges gear worn or held, provided it’s bound to the player via a Blank Binding Card. While not a replacement for creative flight, this combo offers functional early-game aerial mobility and exploration power.
5
Flight Potions and Infusion Pylons
ATM10 also features a Potion-based flight system derived from Apotheosis. To craft a Flying Potion, create a Potion of Slow Falling, upgrade it to a Potion of Levitation, and then a Potion of Flying, which requires Phantom Membrane, Popped Chorus Fruit, and Fermented Spider Eyes.
Extend the Flying Potion’s duration to 30 minutes, then apply it to a Potion Filter using an Infusion Pylon. Once the filter reaches a total duration of one hour, it activates a passive flight toggle.
This technology offers complete creative-style flight without the need for consumables or gear. Once this technology is installed, players can remove their Jetpacks and Free Runners entirely. It is especially beneficial for base-building and farming.
6
Use Waystones for Fast Travel
Navigating the world in All The Mods 10 can be pretty time-consuming, especially when multiple bases, dungeons, or dimensions are involved. To reduce travel time and avoid tedium, Waystones and Warp Plates are essential navigation tools. Waystones can be found in Villages or crafted by players, allowing teleportation between any Waystones that have been activated. It’s essential to name them clearly, as they can accumulate quickly.
Warp Plates are crafted devices that connect two fixed locations, even across dimensions. They work on a simple click-and-go basis: step onto one Warp Plate, and you’re instantly transported to its linked counterpart. These plates are ideal for connecting a base to key locations such as the Nether Portal, a mining hub, or a mob farm. Warp Plates are more customizable than Waystones, allowing for private links, color coding, and even particle effects for added flair.
7
Your First Power Grid
Early-game power is a vital concern in All The Mods 10, and Wind Generators from Mekanism offer a low-cost, high-output solution. These generators produce more power the higher they are placed, so always aim to build them as high up as possible. They’re especially effective when players lack access to lava, fuel, or solar setups.
To distribute and store that power, use Ender Cells and Ender Gates. Ender Cells act as portable batteries and hubs for power distribution, while Ender Gates wirelessly send energy to machines or armor. Ender Gates allow for personal wireless energy transmission, so players can fly, mine, and smelt without pausing to manually recharge.
Ender Cells do not store power by default; you will need to add Batteries or Energy Cells to unlock their capacity. The best strategy is to place a basic Energizing Orb nearby and start energizing capacitors as soon as possible. Over time, this system can be scaled up to power industrial machines, farms, and even teleportation and automation networks.
8
Accesss the Mining Dimension
Allthemodium is a crucial material in ATM10, and discovering the first ore is a significant milestone. It generally spawns in the Deep Dark biome and glows faintly. It’s time-consuming to discover, and often almost impossible to do so. But once mined, turn them into Allthemodium Nuggets, as they’re essential for crafting the Teleport Pad.
The Teleport Pad allows players to access the Mining Dimension, a flat world rich in ores and devoid of caves or other obstacles. It is ideal for early and mid-game mining operations, particularly when combined with Vein Miner and high-quality tools. Additionally, it’s essential to craft a second pad, as it allows travel to The Other, another dimension filled with valuable loot, but dangerous mobs.
Teleport Pads are specific to each dimension, meaning you cannot use one pad to travel to multiple destinations. They benefit from chunk loading to ensure they are available when the player teleports. Use them in conjunction with Waystones and Warp Plates to create a comprehensive fast-travel system.

Easy Fortune 5
Early in the game, gaining high-level Enchantments can seem tedious. However, EvilCraft provides a shortcut. By using a Blood Extractor to collect blood from mobs and crafting hardened blood materials, players can create a Blood Infuser. This machine allows players to convert Dried Bushes into Undead Saplings, enabling them to farm special wood to craft Vengeance Pickaxes.
These Pickaxes come pre-enchanted with Fortune V, but they have low durability and are cursed. Fortunately, players can remove the Enchantment using an Anvil and Books, transferring it to a more durable Pickaxe, such as a Netherite Pickaxe or Silent Gear tools. This method allows players to double or triple their ore drops early in the game, saving them hours of mining.
To effectively fill your Blood Extractor, you can farm mobs or utilize Condensed Blood blocks for a quick solution. To achieve continuous output, consider integrating this system with automation tools such as Hoppers, Basins, and Furnaces. Although EvilCraft is often overlooked, it serves as a powerful resource for Enchantment and manipulation during the early game.
10
Utilizing Spawner Modifications
Mob farming becomes scalable when players learn how to manipulate spawners. Apothic Spawners allow for customization through the application of various items. Players can use Silk Touch to pick up Spawners and transport them back to their base. Once there, they can enhance the Spawners using items such as Echo Shards, Nether Stars, and Chorus Fruit.
Each modifier adjusts a property, such as increasing spawn count, reducing spawn delay, allowing mobs to ignore light levels, or even disabling a mob’s behavior completely. It’s also possible to make mobs silent or spawn baby variants using Wool or Turtle Eggs. These customizable spawners enhance the efficiency of farming items like Bones, Skulls, or more rare mob drops.
11
Harvester Pylons for Crop Automation
Harvester pylons are crucial for automating crop collection, particularly when combined with the appropriate tools. Using a Silent Gear Hoe within the Harvester Pylon enables it to continue harvesting even when the tool’s durability drops to just one point. This unexpected feature allows players to efficiently harvest crops without relying solely on the most expensive or unbreakable Hoes.
For example, Carrots can be farmed automatically by placing a Harvester Pylon above the crop area. The harvested items are then directed into storage or processing systems for use in other mods, such as Immersive Engineering. This setup streamlines resource gathering and reduces manual labor, allowing players to focus on expanding their base and tackling more complex challenges.
12
Useful Commands: /home and /back
Players can use the /home command to set a personal home location, which allows them to teleport back to that spot instantly, regardless of the dimension they are in. This feature is especially helpful for quickly returning to bases or crafting stations without the hassle of long travel times. However, some players feel that using these commands breaks immersion and may consider it cheating.
The /back command allows players to return to their previous location before teleporting or dying, although it may have a cooldown period. Both commands enhance navigation and minimize downtime during exploration or combat.
13
Growing Crop Experience
Experience is a resource that players often find tedious to gather manually, particularly when large amounts are needed. Fortunately, Mystical Agriculture provides a solution by enabling players to cultivate experience as a crop. Utilizing a growth accelerator, such as the Crystal Resonance Generator, significantly accelerates the growth process.
Below the crops, a Harvester Pylon equipped with a Supremium Hoe automatically collects mature experience plants. To utilize this experience effectively, players can craft an Experience Capsule by combining Soul Glass and Soulium Ingots. By holding this capsule and right-clicking, players can drain experience points from their current pool and store them for later use.
This method is much faster for gaining experience compared to killing mobs. It can be further automated by integrating it into potion brewing setups. Farming experience in this way transforms what used to be a slow, tedious process into a more manageable and efficient one.
14
Speed up Machine Processing
Time in a Bottle is a mechanic that allows players to store game ticks, which can be used to accelerate machines and significantly speed up processes. Players can accumulate time by idling or performing specific actions.
Once they have stored enough time, they can apply it to machines to enhance their efficiency. However, it’s important to note that this method is best suited for single-player worlds, as it can lead to server lag in multiplayer settings.
The Time Wand from Just Dire Things provides similar acceleration capabilities, further enhancing automation potential. Players who aim to maximize production speed should carefully explore these tools, balancing the performance impacts with their benefits.
15
Light Field Blocks
One of the most transformative tips for players venturing into dangerous dungeons or large mob farms is the use of Light Field blocks. These blocks emit light in a 24-block radius, which effectively prevents mobs from spawning nearby. This feature is particularly valuable in areas dense with Spawners, such as the Other dungeon, where tonnes of Spawners can overwhelm a player.
By strategically placing a single Light Field block, players can clear large areas of unwanted spawns, making exploration and farming safer and more manageable. This simple tip can significantly enhance the player’s experience by reducing deaths and frustration. Understanding and utilizing this block is a key strategy for creating advanced storage and automation setups, allowing players to focus on progression rather than merely surviving.
16
Mob Drops and Infinite Resources
The XyCraft Machines mod introduces Extractors that can harvest valuable items from Mob Heads and Eggs placed above them. For example, placing a Dragon Head and Dragon Egg on Extractors produces infinite Dragon’s Breath and additional Dragon Eggs over time, a valuable resource for potion-making and decoration.
Time in a Bottle is a valuable resource that enables players to speed up the ticks and processes of machines. While it is very beneficial in single-player mode, its use is discouraged in multiplayer due to its potential negative impact on server performance. Similarly, the Time Wand from Just Dire Things offers acceleration capabilities but shares the same multiplayer restrictions.
17
Obtaining Vibranium and Unobtanium
Vibranium Ore can be found in the Nether, typically near Bastions and other structures. Players can use Brushes on Suspicious Clay Blocks, which are often located near Portals and Bastions, to obtain upgrade kits, such as the Vibranium Upgrade Kit. These kits are essential for enhancing tools and armor.
Unobtanium Ore is located in the End Highlands biome. Players can use the Destruction Gadget from the Building Gadgets mod to expose Unobtanium veins without destroying them, making mining more efficient. Collecting Unobtanium is crucial for the highest tier upgrades and late-game progression.
18
Set up Sophisticated Storage Systems
Players should prioritize implementing advanced storage solutions during their playthrough. Utilizing high-quality backpacks (from Sophisticated Backpacks) with Magnet Upgrades, automated item collectors, and efficient sorting systems will enhance inventory management, minimize the need for manual sorting, and improve the overall gameplay experience.
Players who dedicate time to developing these systems will find their resource management more efficient, allowing them to concentrate on exploration, construction, and automation instead of managing their inventory. It’s also recommended to focus on storage within your base in a similar manner, with the Sophisticated Storage mod.
19
Ores & Crushing Hammers
To increase ore yield, players can use Crushing Hammers, especially Platinum Hammers, to double the amount of ores obtained before smelting. Platinum Hammers provide excellent durability and are particularly useful in the early game for processing Allthemodium and other valuable ores.
Smelting doubled ores in high-efficiency furnaces, such as the Unobtainium Furnace, significantly increases resource output. Automating this process with advanced machinery enhances resource collection and minimizes manual labor.
20
Acquiring Silk Touch
Silk Touch is a highly sought-after enchantment in AllTheMods 10, particularly for retrieving Spawner blocks intact. Players can obtain Silk Touch through various methods, including the use of specialized tools such as the Steam Mining Drill.
This tool enables players to toggle the Silk Touch Enchantment on and off by holding the Left SHIFT key and right-clicking simultaneously. It is an efficient way to mine and collect delicate blocks without causing damage.
For players who prefer to keep their existing tools, the modpack offers methods to transfer Silk Touch Enchantments via Books. Players can obtain a Silk Touch book and then remove Enchantments from other items using an Anvil combined with a block of Obsidian. This process allows players to customize their gear precisely, ensuring they have the right Enchantments for their tasks.
