Create: Fly Wheels
by bekkayya
Create: Fly Wheels, an alpha NeoForge addon for Create, changes how flywheels store and release stress inside a Create network.
What it does
The addon works only as an extension of Create, which must be installed alongside it. Its flywheels can either act as batteries that store energy for the network, or spin up and down together, and a config toggle chooses between these modes. Another toggle decides whether the flywheel nearest an overstress point is consumed first. Most of its values are exposed in the config, so server owners can adjust the balance.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Only NeoForge is supported, and the only file so far is version 0.1 for 1.21.1, an alpha build published on 2026-07-22. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it must install it too.
Key features
Flywheels as energy storage
Flywheels can hold stress inside the network and return it when the network is overstressed, instead of only spinning.
Switchable flywheel behavior
A config option switches between battery-style storage and a mode where flywheels spin up and down together.
Overstress consumption order
An optional setting makes the flywheel nearest an overstress point the first one drained.
Network update optimization
The addon reduces how often Create network updates are triggered, with fixes applied through mixins.

Use cases
Tuning a Create factory
Builders who rely on flywheels can change the storage and spin behavior to match how their stress network should react.
Small server balancing
Server owners can adjust most values in the config and test the flywheel rules with their own players.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Create and want flywheels to behave differently, and server owners willing to run an alpha addon on a personal or test server.

What the author says
Just something to tide over until somebody comes along and does something better. I encourage you to steal this and make something better <3 I'm not sure where the best balance between flywheel realism, create stress logic, and fun, so most of the variables are exposed in the config. lmk if something isnt working…
