What Create does

Create is an automation mod built around rotational force. Instead of electricity or magic, you generate power with water wheels, windmills, and steam engines, then transmit it through shafts, cogs, and belts. Machines are assembled from visible components — a mechanical press is a physical object with moving parts, not a single block with a GUI [citation:8].

Version 6.0.0 introduced chain conveyors, package logistics, and a full cardboard system, expanding the mod beyond pure mechanical automation into factory logistics [citation:8].

Core features

  • Rotational power — water wheels, windmills, and steam engines generate force.
  • Contraptions — assemble moving machines that can fly, drive, or drill.
  • Logistics — belts, funnels, and packages for item transport [citation:8].
  • Trains — build and schedule trains for long-distance transport.

Installation

  1. Install Forge or NeoForge for your Minecraft version.
  2. Download the Create JAR from CurseForge for your loader and version [citation:8].
  3. Place it in the mods folder.
  4. For servers: install Create on both client and server.
Forge / NeoForge only: Create does not have a Fabric build. If you are on Fabric, you cannot run Create unless you use a compatibility layer like Sinytra Connector, which has limited support. For Create, use Forge or NeoForge.

Frequently asked questions

Does Create work on Fabric?
No official Fabric build exists. Create is Forge and NeoForge only. A Fabric port exists but is not maintained by the original author. Use Forge or NeoForge for the full experience.
Is Create a tech mod like Mekanism or Thermal Expansion?
Create is a tech mod, but it is designed around visible mechanical systems rather than hidden GUIs. It does not use electricity or energy units. If you want traditional tech mods, Create is different — but many players find it more intuitive.
Does Create require other mods?
Create requires Flywheel, which is a rendering library used for its moving contraptions. On Forge and NeoForge, Flywheel is usually bundled or listed as a dependency. Check the file page [citation:8].
