Create

Name: Create
Author: simibubi

Create adds tools and blocks for building, decoration and automation, built around machines whose moving parts animate in the world.

ForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalCustom license1.18.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Instead of running processes inside menus, Create has players assemble contraptions: animated components placed in the world that work together, with many possible layouts for the same job. The added technology leaves most design choices to the builder, and the blocks double as decoration for builds that are not machines at all.

An in-game visual guide called Ponder walks through each mechanic and gadget the mod adds. The author recommends a recipe viewer alongside it, since the vanilla recipe book does not cover all of Create's recipes.

This listing has Forge and NeoForge files for four game versions: 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The newest file, 6.0.10+mc1.21.1 for NeoForge, dates from 2026-04-21. The server needs the mod, while on the client it is optional, and the license is a custom license.

Key features

Animated contraptions
Machines are built from components that move visibly in the world and work together, rather than from single blocks with a menu.
Open-ended layouts
The same task can be solved with different arrangements of parts, so factories take the shape the builder chooses.
Ponder guides
Ponder scenes show in the game how each mechanic and gadget works, as a visual alternative to an external wiki.
Building and decoration
Many of the added blocks serve as building and decoration pieces, which is why the mod also carries the Decoration category.
Large add-on base
1,300 catalog mods require Create, for example Create: Steam 'n' Rails, Create Crafts & Additions, Create Aeronautics and Create Big Cannons.

Questions

Is there a Fabric version of Create on this page?

No. The files of this listing are for Forge and NeoForge only. The Forge file stops at 1.20.1, while NeoForge covers 1.21.1.

Which game versions does Create support?

Four release versions: 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Snapshot builds are not published.

How does a new player learn the mechanics?

Through Ponder, the built-in visual documentation that demonstrates each mechanic and gadget inside the game.

Does Create need any other mod?

No dependencies are listed. A recipe viewer is suggested by the author because the vanilla recipe book does not show every Create recipe.
