Create: Catworks
by TheCatLord01
Create: Catworks changes which Create recipes are available, letting players automate most building blocks and reducing lag in certain Create farms.
What it does
The addon focuses on automation for building blocks rather than on progression gates. Zinc and limestone crushing, copper, smooth stone and basalt crushing, blaze rods and lava coal are among the recipes it covers, and ore blocks can be produced through compaction. Stone variants can be crafted without duplicating ore, and netherrack duplication is included as well.
Precision Mechanism is the one recipe in the addon that requires electron tubes, a wrench and deployment, so it stays a progression step. Catworks also lets air pass through funnels, chutes, hoppers and tunnels, and it changes the Blaze Burner recipe and the quartz crushing recipe. The addon is published for Forge and NeoForge, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing it. It depends on Create itself to run.
Key features
Automated crushing recipes
Zinc, limestone, copper, smooth stone and basalt can be crushed through Create machines using the addon's recipes.
Blaze rod and lava coal production
Blaze rods, lava and coal recipes are added so that Create farms of blaze rods can run automatically.
Compaction and stone variants
Ore blocks come from compaction, and stone variants are crafted without the ore duplication found elsewhere.
Funnel and chute air flow
Air passes through funnels, chutes, hoppers and tunnels, which lets certain farm layouts keep running.

What the author says
After playing the Create mod for a long time, I’ve noticed that most addons that expand automation either use very unbalanced recipes or focus heavily on progression. Catworks takes a different approach by allowing you to automate most building blocks, adding quality-of-life features—such as a Blaze Burner recipe—and…
