Create: Better Building
by floatdev
Create: Better Building brings Create factory-themed decorative blocks into the game, covering stone bricks, steel beams, industrial lamps and handrails.
What it does
The mod adds new mainly decorative building blocks themed around Create factories. Stone bricks can be dyed in vanilla dye colors, and dyed bricks come with their own slab, stair and wall variants. Steel beams, industrial lamps and aged, dirty or cracked versions of several blocks extend the palette for industrial builds. The blocks are built for survival and come with crafting recipes, so they can be made from materials players gather.
The mod needs Architectury API, Create and Create Fabric. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, across 15 release versions 1.19.2 – 1.21.4, and the latest beta builds are version 1.3.0-beta.2 for 1.19.4 on Fabric and 1.21.4 on Forge, both dated 2025-03-21. Both client and server need the mod. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
