Create: Bits 'n' Bobs

by AzTech

Bits 'n' Bobs adds decorative and mechanical blocks, plus config-based changes, to Create on Forge and NeoForge.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Cogwheels, chain drives and pipes are the main mechanical additions. Flanged cogwheels link to belts or ropes as a chain drive, and contraptions can be attached to a chain drive. A rotating contraption can turn according to its mass, and a config option lets it act as a kinetic battery. Wooden cogwheels from Create: Encased are included, and pipes of different colours ignore each other.

Decorative content covers spanning blocks that run between two fixed points, an ornate-font display option for Create's signage, tile-shaped palettes for stone types, trusses that can encase pipes or shafts, and headlamps that can be placed several to a block and dyed one at a time. Piston Poles can be encased, and Industrial Iron and Weathered Iron work for encasing blocks.

The mod depends on Azimuth API, Create and Strut Your Stuff (Struts), so all three must be installed alongside it. It runs on the client and server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.

Key features

  1. Chain drive cogwheels

    Flanged cogwheels can be combined with belts or ropes to build chain drives that attach contraptions.

  2. Mass-based rotation

    A contraption can rotate according to its mass, and a configuration option lets it act as a kinetic battery.

  3. Nixie displays

    Larger Nixie displays use a custom ornate font, adding a larger decorative option to Create's signage.

  4. Individually dyed headlamps

    Several headlamps fit in one block, and each can be dyed on its own.

  5. Configurable features

    Individual features can be turned off, and balance values can be changed, through the config file.
