Create: Melodies & Mechanisms
Create: Melodies & Mechanisms lets players craft replicated music discs through Create machinery, starting from a Deepslate Disc Plate.
What it does
Players press a blank plate with a mold and then add emeralds, echo shards and amethysts so the surface imitates the sound of a recording. The finished plate is then programmed with a melody, and the result is a genuine vanilla music disc produced by a mechanical process rather than found as dungeon loot.
The rhythm and output of the process can be controlled by a factory setup, and it can be looped, automated and expanded with belts, arms, sequencers and similar Create parts. The mod fits survival bases, Create-centered modpacks and custom maps where music plays a role. It requires Create, and Create Fabric is needed on Fabric; Vanilla Backport is optional and compatible.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Files target 1.20 – 1.21.1 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Key features
Disc plate crafting
