Create : Renewable Emerald
by Kara_Art
Create : Renewable Emerald is a Fabric add-on for Create that turns quartz and dyes into a repeatable emerald supply through processing recipes.
What it does
The add-on adds Quartz Dust, Emerald Dust and Emerald Shard as Create items, and new recipes that link them. Crushing turns quartz into Quartz Dust, mixing combines Quartz Dust with Lime Dye into Emerald Dust, bulk blasting turns Emerald Dust into Emerald Shard, and compacting builds Emerald from shards. Each step runs in Create's machines, so the chain depends on the factory setup a player builds.
The mod requires Create Fabric and is installed alongside it. Create : Renewable Emerald runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files target 1.20 – 1.20.6, with 1.1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest release, published on 2025-12-05 under the MIT License. The code is not open source.
Key features
Quartz Dust processing
Crushing quartz in a Create crushing wheel yields Quartz Dust, the first input of the emerald chain.
Emerald Dust from mixing
A mixer combines Quartz Dust with Lime Dye to produce Emerald Dust in a single processing step.
Emerald Shard from blasting
Bulk blasting converts Emerald Dust into Emerald Shard, a step that fits into an existing blast furnace line.
Emerald from compacting
Compacting Emerald Shard produces Emerald, so the output of the whole chain is a standard vanilla item.
