Create: Big Pharma

Big Pharma expands Create with large-scale automated production of medicines and process chemicals. A player starts with a small laboratory where molecular fragments are extracted from plants, minerals and other materials and analyzed to reveal new compounds. Discoveries are recorded in the Pharmacopoeia, which gradually shows how medicines are produced and what role each ingredient plays, and some research yields familiar medications while others lead to more advanced experimental pharmaceuticals.

Raw materials pass through several processing stages before becoming finished products, and the production lines use specialized machines that connect to Create's belts, funnels, pipes and rotational power. Medicines come as pills, syrups, inhalers, IV bags and blister packs, and each delivery method behaves differently: pills take longer to absorb, inhalers act almost at once, and IV bags give a slow, continuous infusion. Medicines carry their own pharmacological properties and are not food items with potion effects, and taking too much has consequences, such as tolerance, withdrawal symptoms and overdose.

The mod requires Create and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and the latest file is 0.3.1-b, a beta build. The mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
