Chemica
by cosmads
Chemica brings real-world chemistry processes into the Create Factory Must Grow addon, adding new plastics, acids, ores and fuels to a Create-based factory.
What it does
Chemica adds chemical production to the Create Factory Must Grow setup. It introduces new plastic types such as PVC and epoxy resin, a range of acids used across several production chains, and a carbon fiber processing tree. New ores, metals, fluids and fuels are included, along with chemical production routes for materials of many kinds. Some current content is listed by its author, and more is planned for future releases.
Chemica needs Create: TFMG Community Edition as a required dependency, and Create Factory Must Grow must be installed alongside it for the chemistry content to work. Rutile is bundled inside the mod. Chemica runs on Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source. Client and server both need the mod. JEI and Jade are recommended for browsing recipes and checking blocks in the world. Forge installs need the 1.20.1 build and NeoForge installs need the 1.21.1 build, placed in the mods folder before Chemica is added.
