Create: Eternal Zinc
by Spinx
Create: Eternal Zinc is a Technology addon for Create that makes zinc a renewable resource through a crushing chain based on Sphalerite.
What it does
Players crush Diorite with Crushing Wheels or a Millstone to obtain Sphalerite, then run that Sphalerite through the wheels to get Zinc Nuggets. The loop gives a steady supply of zinc without searching caves or ore veins, so automated factories can keep running. The approach follows real-world mineral processing, and Create machinery stays at the center of the process.
The mod is built for Create. It requires Create on Fabric and Forge, and it is published for Forge and Fabric for 1.20.1 only. Both loaders run it on client and server, which means the server and every player need it. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Diorite to Sphalerite
Crushing Wheels and Millstones convert Diorite into Sphalerite, the mineral used as the first step of the chain.
Sphalerite to zinc
Sphalerite passes through Crushing Wheels and yields Zinc Nuggets, closing the renewable loop.
Automatable supply
The whole chain runs on Create machines, so zinc can be collected by belts and fed into automated factories.
Small addon scope
The mod adds only the zinc processing chain and stays a compact extension of the existing Create recipes.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Automated factories
Builders running Create factories can feed zinc from the chain into machines that would otherwise stall on scarce zinc.
Survival progression
Players in survival worlds who want to avoid repeated searches for zinc can set up a single crushing line instead.
Who it’s for: Players who run Create factories on Fabric or Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and want a dependable zinc source. Server owners who want the chain available to every player on a multiplayer server also benefit.
How it compares
Create: Zinc Recipe is an addon for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, so it reaches more versions and loaders than this mod. The server needs it, while players may leave it out. Create: Zinc And Calcite is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and it only changes the client, so servers can run without it. Create Skyblock Tweaks is an open source MIT License mod for Fabric and Forge on 1.20.1, where the server must run it and players may skip it.
