Create: Better Motors
by Reggarf
Create: Better Motors gives Create players seven configurable motors that convert Forge Energy into Stress Units and back, plus a high-output alternator.
What it does
Seven motors in the mod turn Forge Energy (FE) into Stress Units (SU) so Create machinery can run on them. Each motor can be configured, so a build can be tuned to its own power needs. A high-output alternator produces up to 452 FE per tick from SU, which suits large energy-intensive setups. Reggarfonite Ore generates between Y-levels -64 and 64 and supplies materials for the new parts.
Better Motors requires Create, Create Crafts & Additions and Better Library. Because Create and the other two mods are needed, the pack must include all three. The mod runs on client and server, so a server and every player must install it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.

Use cases
Powering large Create builds
Players with large Create factories can use the alternator to supply energy-intensive machines.

Who it’s for: Players who run Create factories alongside Forge Energy mods, and server owners who want converters for their Create builds.
How it compares
Create: Simple Generator is also open source under the MIT License, built for Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and runs on client and server. Dynamic Electricity is open source under the MIT License for Forge and NeoForge across 1.16.5 – 1.21.1, but it is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Better Motors is client and server, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 only.
