Create: Better Utils
Create: Better Utils is a NeoForge addon that extends Create with utility blocks, reversed-signal logistics parts and upgrades for the diving helmet.
What it does
Once the base Create mod is in place, this addon brings in extra utility blocks, reversed-signal logistics components and diving helmet upgrades. Its kinetic lamps take their brightness from rotation: the faster a shaft spins, the brighter and wider the light area becomes. A Mega Light extends this, clearing hostile mobs inside its radius at set intervals and blocking hostile spawns there while it is active. Engineer's Goggles show stress, RPM, current light radius and affected blocks.
The logistics parts cover a redstone link panel offering 12 programmable buttons, where every button keeps a frequency pair and a glyph label, a display board that renders on both faces, a packager and a clutch whose redstone response is flipped compared with vanilla, and packagers and re-packagers that take named logistics addresses. A custom nametag screen renames nametags without an anvil. Both diving night vision helmets accept enchantments such as Protection, Respiration, Aqua Affinity and Unbreaking, and work with Create's backtank system. Create is required, and the mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, under the MIT License, though its code is not open source.
Key features
Kinetic lamps
Lamp brightness and light radius scale with the rotation speed of the shaft powering them.
Mega Light mob control
Hostile mobs inside the light radius are cleared periodically, and hostile spawns are blocked there while it is active.
Redstone link panel
A panel with 12 buttons, each with a frequency pair, and a glyph label, and items displayed in the slots, even on moving contraptions.
Inverted logistics
Inverted packagers, clutches and re-packagers behave opposite to the vanilla redstone logic, with block textures updating to show the engaged or disengaged state.
