Create

Create is a Forge and NeoForge mod for Minecraft Java Edition that replaces redstone-based automation with a kinetic energy system of cogs, shafts, and rotating machinery. It runs on both the client and server, supporting versions from 1.18.2 to 1.21.1. Every mechanic ships with an in-game animated tutorial called Ponder, accessible directly from the mod's inventory tabs.

What Create Adds

Create builds a complete mechanical energy system on top of vanilla Minecraft. Cogwheels, shafts, and gearboxes transmit rotational power from generators (windmills, water wheels, hand cranks) to processing machines across a factory. Mechanical components let you automate farming, mining, crafting, and item sorting without a single line of command blocks.

A full train network introduced in version 0.5 remains one of the mod's signature features: lay tracks, build and paint locomotives, and run scheduled passenger or cargo routes between stations. The contraption system extends this into cranes, elevators, mechanical bridges, and digging rigs that physically move assembled blocks through the world.

• Kinetic power: cogwheels, shafts, belts, gearboxes, flywheels, and rotation speed control
• Processing machines: mechanical press, mixer, saw, fan smelting, washing, and haunting setups
• Logistics: conveyor belts, funnels, chutes, mechanical arms, and deployers for item routing
• Transport: train tracks, locomotives, train stations, and minecart contraptions
• Fluid systems: fluid pipes, tanks, pumps, and spouts for liquid automation
• Building tools: Schematic and Quill for blueprint capture, Schematic Cannon for deployment

How to Install Create on Forge or NeoForge

1. 1.Download and install Forge or NeoForge for your target Minecraft version from the Forge or NeoForge project sites.
2. 2.Download the Create .jar from Modrinth, selecting the file that matches your loader and Minecraft version.
3. 3.Place the .jar in your .minecraft/mods folder.
4. 4.Start Minecraft from the Forge or NeoForge profile in your Minecraft client.

Create has no required library dependencies beyond the loader itself. Add-ons from the Create ecosystem (such as Create: Steam 'n' Rails or Create: Crafts and Additions) list their own dependencies on their respective project pages.

Multiplayer and Server Use

Create is a server-required mod: both the server and every connecting client must have matching versions installed. The server processes all contraption physics and train pathfinding; the client renders the moving parts. Clients that are missing the mod or running a different version will be unable to connect.
