Create Optical Fabric

by baimoqilin

Create Optical Fabric is a Fabric addon for the Create mod that carries rotational force across distances as light beams, using a set of optical blocks.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Create Optical Fabric adds a way to move rotational energy from Create machines by converting it into beams. A source block emits beams whose type depends on the rotational force applied to it, and receptor blocks turn an incoming beam back into rotational force according to the beam's properties. An optical sensor reads an incident beam and emits a redstone signal from it, and reflector blocks redirect beams at right angles.

The mod also covers beam handling. A polarizing filter polarizes a beam, a beam splitter cube divides a beam into two polarized beams sent perpendicularly, and a beam condenser merges up to three beams into one with combined properties. A beam focuser is used in a new recipe type that depends on beam characteristics. New blocks and items are included alongside the mechanics.

The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. Files exist for Fabric only, across six release versions, and the latest build is 0.3.1-fabric-patched for 1.20.6. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. A Copper Legacy texture pack is included.

Key features

  1. Optical source

    Emits beams of different types depending on how much rotational force is applied to it.

  2. Optical receptor

    Converts received beams back into rotational force based on the properties of each beam.

  3. Polarizing filter and splitter

    Polarizes a beam, and a beam splitter cube divides it into two perpendicular polarized beams.

  4. Beam condenser and focuser

    A condenser merges up to three beams into one, and a focuser provides inputs for a beam-based recipe type.

Use cases

Long-distance power lines

Rotational force from a Create setup can be sent through beams to a receptor elsewhere in the base.

Redstone reading

An optical sensor turns the properties of an incident beam into a redstone signal for other circuits.

Who it’s for: Players who already use the Create mod and want to move rotational force through light instead of shafts. Fabric players on recent Minecraft releases are the intended audience, and both the server and every player need the mod installed.

Questions

Does Create Optical Fabric need the Create mod?

The mod is a Create addon and works with Create's rotational force, so Create must be installed alongside it.

Does the server need Create Optical Fabric?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Which loader and versions does it support?

Files are published for Fabric only, and the latest build is for 1.20.6.
