Create: Cosmere Compat
by EdgarVerdi
Create: Cosmere Compat bridges Create's machinery into the Cosmere mod suite, so Cosmere metals and ores can be processed with Create contraptions on Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod connects Create's mechanics to the Cosmere suite. Metals from the suite are handled by Create machinery, and players can tag items, blocks and entities by hand to bring them into that processing. Cosmere ore generation is held back where ores from another mod already exist, which keeps overlapping veins out of a world.
Installation needs Cosmere and Create, both required, and Create: The Factory Must Grow is listed as an optional dependency. Create: Cosmere Compat runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.1.0 as the latest file from 2026-08-08. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Create machinery for Cosmere metals
Create's processing machines can handle metals added by the Cosmere suite, bridging the two mod families.
Manual item, block and entity tagging
Items, blocks and entities, including metal items, can be tagged by hand so they take part in the compatibility rules.
Ore generation that skips existing ores
Cosmere ore generation stops in places where ores from other mods already exist, so the two sets do not stack in one spot.
Hand alloying
Alloying can be done with bare hands, without a machine, for the metals this compatibility adds.
Crushed raw Cadmium and Chromium textures
Crushed raw Cadmium and Chromium items have dedicated textures, so they are distinguishable in Create's crushing recipes.

Use cases
Processing Cosmere metals in Create

Who it’s for: Players who use both the Cosmere suite and Create on Forge 1.20.1, and server owners who run that combination together.
How it compares
Awakening is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and is open source, with the same client and server environment as this mod. Create: Splash And Crush is also open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.16.5 – 1.20.1 and is not tied to the suite this mod bridges. Honor's Perpendicularity is Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
