Create: DataForge
by Matisse
Create: DataForge adds server racks, data cables and market terminals to Create, so players can build a data center powered by Create machinery.
What it does
Rather than adding single-block generators, the mod asks players to build physical infrastructure. Server racks generate Compute Units, the main resource, which can be spent on in-game currencies, contracts and cooling.
The Kinetic Data Dynamo takes the rotational force of Create machinery and turns it into DataForge power, letting spinning shafts from existing Create builds supply a data center. A stronger mechanical setup supplies more power, which allows higher compute output and room for larger systems. The mod requires Create and is licensed under the MIT License, but it is not open source. It runs on client and server, and files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 0.1.1-alpha as the latest build from 2026-07-14.
Key features
Server racks
Server racks hold graphics cards, ASIC miners and memory modules, and they form the heart of the data center.
Component tuning
Each component changes compute output, power draw, heat generation and efficiency, so builds can be balanced.
Kinetic power conversion
Kinetic Data Dynamo turns rotation from Create machinery into the power that the data center consumes.
Cooling systems
Cooling modules keep racks below overheating, and the mod ties heat management to the compute loop.
Data cable network
Basic Data Cable and related cables connect racks, controllers, dynamos and market terminals across a build.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Requirements
Dependencies declared by the latest file for each loader.
Use cases
Mechanical data centers
Players who already run Create contraptions can route shafts into a rack bank and grow it as their power supply expands.
Server-owned economies
A server can use Compute Units and market terminals as a fictional economy tied to the builds players construct.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Create and want a computing progression built from its machinery, and server owners who want a shared economy built around it.
