Create: Flashback
by tatuto
Create: Flashback lets players record Create machines, spinning blocks and trains into Flashback replays, a fix that stops those contraptions from vanishing during playback.
What it does
Without this mod, Create contraptions reach the client by another route than ordinary mods do, so they can show up empty or disappear during a Flashback replay. The mod corrects that, so recorded replays keep the moving machinery, spinning blocks and trains that Create builds.
Recording works as it does with Flashback on its own. The mod works with Flashback 0.30 or newer through Sinytra Connector on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1, and it needs Create 6.0 or newer. Aeronautics is supported as an addition, installed with the same steps. Only the client needs the mod; servers run without it.
Some other mods interfere with Flashback's replay features. In that case the conflicting mod's replay feature stops working, and the rest of that mod works normally. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for NeoForge only.
Key features
Replay of Create machines
Machines, spinning blocks and trains built with Create are recorded so they appear correctly when a replay is played back.
Fix for empty contraptions
Contraptions that would vanish during replay are restored, so the moving parts stay visible throughout the recording.
Aeronautics support
Aeronautics contraptions can be recorded alongside Create ones once the Aeronautics file is placed in the mods folder.
Targeted replay change
The change only affects Flashback's replay features and leaves the rest of the game and other mods untouched.

How it compares
FFModSubfolders is published for NeoForge only, across 1.20.4 – 26.3, and is all rights reserved, so its source is not open. Connector Recipe Bridge is a NeoForge mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2, requires client and server, and is open source under the MIT License. Create: Flashback is client-side only, covers 1.21.1 alone and is also open source under the MIT License.

What the author says
A mod that lets you properly record and replay Create's machines (spinning blocks, trains, etc.) with Flashback. Create machines are sent to the client in a different way than normal mods, so without this mod they show up empty or vanish during replay. This mod fixes that.
