Create: Bits 'n' Tracks
by qwxon
Create: Bits 'n' Tracks lets players build tracks with a belt and chain system, using cogwheels in several sizes, industrial variants and hidden cogwheels for cleaner builds.
What it does
The mod is built around track construction on NeoForge 1.21.1. Its cogwheels come in several sizes, and track-focused variants are meant to hold belts and chains in place. Industrial cogwheel variants use models based on the Industrial Cogwheels mod for Create, and hidden cogwheels let a builder keep the mechanical parts out of sight.
A Cog Alignment Tool handles placement after installation. It can shift, hide, reset and tune cogwheels, which makes tracks easier to line up and vehicle movement easier to adjust. Suspension-style physics support tracked vehicles, and configurable physics movement settings control how they behave. Bits n Tracks depends on Create and is listed as still in its testing stage, so bugs can occur.
Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source. Its first file came out on 2026-06-07, and the latest NeoForge file, 1.0.3.1, was published on 2026-06-20.
Key features
Belt and chain tracks
Players can build tracks with a belt and chain system, combining cogwheels into a continuous loop.
Track-focused cogwheels
Cogwheels in several sizes are designed for track layouts rather than general machinery.
Hidden cogwheels
Cogwheels can be hidden from view, so the finished build shows only its visible parts.
Cog Alignment Tool
A tool shifts, hides, resets and tunes cogwheels after they have been placed.
Suspension-style physics
An optional setting enables suspension-style physics for tracked vehicles, with configurable movement values.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players building Create contraptions who want tracks, and server owners who plan to run the mod with physics settings, keeping in mind that it is still in testing.
