Create: Copycat Expansion
Create: Copycat Expansion extends Create's copycat blocks so that terrain-like blocks such as dirt paths, farmland and grass can take on a copied appearance.
What it does
The mod gives Create's copycat blocks a wider set of materials and states, reaching terrain such as dirt paths, farmland, snowy grass, podzol and mycelium, along with respawn anchors, composters, furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers, bee nests, beehives, chiseled bookshelves, suspicious sand and gravel, and sculk catalysts. Copycat terrain transformations need air directly above the wrapper, and a partial copycat such as a step is applied to the block the player sits over.
The mod requires Create and is built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1, with Create 6.0.10 as the matching Create release. Create: Copycats+ 3.0.8 is optional and adds extra copycat blocks, such as stairs, slopes and doors, which the mod also refreshes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Version 0.1.17 is the latest NeoForge file, published on 2026-09-01.
Key features
Terrain appearances
Dirt, grass blocks, coarse dirt, podzol, mycelium and rooted dirt can change appearance with a shovel, and a hoe turns grass, dirt and dirt paths into farmland appearances.
Two-step hoeing
Hoeing coarse dirt or rooted dirt applies a dirt appearance first, mirroring vanilla's staged conversion.
Geometry modes
Dirt path and farmland support two visual shapes, and tool transformations keep the full copycat shape.
Selectable geometry
Right-click states and sneak-right-click geometry let a player pick how a copycat block is shaped, controlled through the Brass Hand.
