Create: Powerlines

by deepacat

Create: Powerlines is a Forge add-on for Create that extends its power transmission with wire connectors, spools and recipes, and it works alongside Create Crafts & Additions and GregTech CEu Modern.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

The mod is a fork of Create's wire connector system and adds an Electrum Connector Spool, with recipes that use rods, wires and spools. Spools are generated for materials registered by GregTech CEu Modern, with one spool per tier and the matching recipes, so connectors of higher tiers carry power over greater distances.

Create Crafts & Additions is an optional dependency and both mods can be used together, since the connectors give more tiers with a longer reach. Custom recipes can be added through datapacks or scripting, and the mod includes compatibility with other mods. Custom connectors can also be added through a Java mod, and spool tiers can be set and connectors registered through a script plugin.

Create: Powerlines is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, in a single version. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Electrum Connector Spool

    An electrum-based spool that serves as the base connector for the power wire system.

  2. Generated wire and spool materials

    Wires and spools are generated for materials from GregTech CEu Modern, so each material can be used for power transmission.

  3. Tiered spools

    Spools are created for each tier with their own recipes, giving a graded set of connectors.

  4. Connector registry

    Custom connectors can be registered from a Java mod or through a script plugin, so other content can plug into the system.
