Azimuth API

by AzTech

Azimuth API is a Create addon library that gives addon developers extended hooks into Create's systems.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.1

What it does

The library supplies composable behaviour components for SmartBlockEntity, covering lifecycle hooks, kinetics and rendering extensions. Developers can attach these components to their own block entities without rewriting the underlying Create classes.

It also provides Create-style advancement definitions with awarding logic, and extra animated outliner types that help show block placement and mechanics in Ponder scenes. Create is required, and the library is required by Create: Bits 'n' Bobs and Create: Bits 'n' Dyes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.4.10 as the latest file from 2026-10-04, released under the MIT License. The code is not open source.

Use cases

Addon development

Developers building Create addons can reuse the behaviour components instead of writing their own block entity plumbing.

Ponder scenes

Scene authors can use the extra outliners to point out parts of a contraption while a Ponder scene plays.

Who it’s for: Addon developers who build on Create and want to reuse its block entity, advancement and outliner systems. Players do not interact with the library directly.
