Create: Data and Plots
by timaaos
Create: Data and Plots lets players read Create machine data on a dashboard, with plots and display links showing item counts from chosen containers.
What it does
Players place a dashboard block, then link display links to it. Each display link targets the dashboard or an observer, and a smart observer placed next to a container feeds it the contents of that container. Items are selected by type through a list, so a display can track one kind of item in a storage network.
Create graphs plots from the data gathered this way, giving a running view of production and stock. The mod depends on Create Fabric and Fabric API, both of which must be installed alongside it. It is published for 1.20.1 only, on the Fabric loader, and runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Dashboard block
A dashboard block collects the data from linked observers and displays it in one place.
Smart observer
A smart observer placed beside a container reports the items it holds to the dashboard.
Display link targets
Display links can point at the dashboard or an observer, which sets what the display shows.
Item type selection
A list lets a display link match items by type, so only the chosen kinds appear in the plot.

Use cases
Monitoring storage
A player can watch stock levels in a container chain from one dashboard without opening each chest.
Tracking production
Plots show how item counts change over time, which helps when tuning a Create factory.
Who it’s for: Players running Create machinery who want to read item counts and trends on a dashboard, and server owners who keep Create factories and storage networks.
How it compares
Smart Observer is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 on Fabric, with client and server as its environment. Freeze Observers is server-side only and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.2, so players need no install beyond the server. NetGraph is client required with server optional, has no open source code, and spans 1.20.1 – 1.21.8.
