Create: Endless Reserves
by btxdxd
Create: Endless Reserves adds an automatic mining addon to Create, where ore crystals placed in a storage block feed a drill that yields ores over time.
What it does
The addon introduces ore crystals for iron, copper, gold and zinc, a new resource type that a special storage block accepts. Once crystals are stored, they supply mined resources, so a Create drill can keep producing ores without manual harvesting. Zinc crystals can also be added to the mined output.
Automatic mining works only when a Create drill is used to break the blocks. Output scales with how fast the drill turns. Ordinary ores yield crystals at a 0.5% chance and deep shale ores at a 0.7% chance. The addon requires Create and works with Just Enough Items (JEI) as an optional dependency. It is built for Forge on 1.20.1, with the 1.01 file dated 2025-03-18, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Ore crystals
Crystals for iron, copper, gold and zinc are added as a new resource type that the mining system produces.
Crystal storage block
A dedicated block accepts ore crystals and holds them as a supply for the automatic mining process.
Automatic mining
A Create drill breaks blocks and yields resources continuously, with its output tied to drill rotation speed.
Zinc crystal output
Zinc crystals can be added to the mined resources, extending what the automatic process returns.

Use cases
Endless resource supply
Players who run Create machinery can set up a drill fed by stored crystals to keep a steady flow of ores.
Automated ore gathering on servers
Server owners can give players a mining setup that runs without them standing at the ore blocks.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Create and want to automate ore collection on Forge 1.20.1. Server owners running Create packs can add it so mining continues without manual work.
How it compares
Auto Smelting Enchantment is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that is server-side only, so it works without a client install but does not match Forge 1.20.1. OreTree is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0; it covers the same version as this addon but is not open source. HiddenOres is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.13 – 1.21.11, and is needed on the server, with the client optional.
