Create: Colorful Catalysts

by Doppel-R101

With Create: Colorful Catalysts, Create catalysts take on colors that spread through Create's airstreams and fluid systems, so dyed machinery can be built in several hues.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

The mod adds colored variants of Create catalysts and the dyed mastic resin and liquid dye needed to make them. A player obtains a bucket of dyed mastic resin, places catalysts in front of a mechanical fan so the airstream carries the color, and can dye leaves so they turn the catalysts. Create: Connected and Create: Garnished are read as optional companions, and Dragons Plus and Dye Depot add their own coloring sources when installed.

Create is a required dependency, so the mod cannot run without it. Create: Colorful Catalysts is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.1 alone. The latest build, 2.2.0, was released on 2026-09-18 under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Create: Colorful Catalysts runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.

Key features

  1. Colored catalysts

    Create catalysts can be dyed, so the colored versions behave like their plain counterparts while keeping the chosen hue.

  2. Dyed mastic resin buckets

    A bucket of dyed mastic resin supplies the color used when crafting or coloring catalysts.

  3. Two-fluid demonstration

    Two colored fluids spill out from one side of a setup, while catalysts on the other side keep their fluids from spilling.

  4. Dye sources from other mods

    When the optional companions are installed, liquid dye, concrete powder and glazed terracotta can serve as coloring inputs.
