NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Petroleum is pulled from the ground by an animated multiblock extractor, then refined into fuels and chemicals. Refining runs through a distillation tower, which can perform distillation in three different methods, and a mixer that uses electricity to perform electrolysis. A simple burner disposes of unwanted fluids, so leftover products do not have to be stored.

Fuels drive machinery through several generators: the Gasoline Engine and Diesel Engine supply rotation, a portable generator and a compact generator with greater output are both available, and a Gas Turbine produces electricity from LPG. Steel pipe variants add pumps, valves and smart pipes for routing fluids between the machines. Create: Petrochem requires Create and is open source under the MIT License, released for NeoForge 1.21.1, with the latest file 1.3.3 dated 2026-09-20.

Key features

  1. Multiblock petroleum extractor

    An animated multiblock machine draws petroleum from the ground and feeds it into the refining chain.

  2. Distillation tower

    A multiblock tower separates petroleum into products using three distillation methods.

  3. Fuel-burning engines

    The Gasoline Engine, Diesel Engine, portable and compact rotation generators, and Gas Turbine burn refined fuels to power machinery.

  4. Steel pipe variants

    Steel pipes come with pump, valve and smart pipe versions for moving fluids between machines.

  5. Refining recipe graph

Questions

Does Create: Petrochem need Create installed?

Yes. Create is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Create: Petrochem on NeoForge 1.21.1.

Must Create: Petrochem be installed on the server?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Are there other mods that add to Create: Petrochem?

Create: Petro Deposits requires Create: Petrochem, so it depends on this mod for its petroleum features.

What the author says

Any modpack dev is allowed to use this mod without asking. In fact, I recommend you do so. This is much more bug-free, compact and resourceful than TFMG.
