Create: Renewable Netherrack
by Binta
Create: Renewable Netherrack is a NeoForge datapack that adds mixer recipes making netherrack renewable from dirt and other common materials.
What it does
The datapack adds Create mixer recipes that turn dirt into netherrack, with iron nuggets added over a heated blaze burner. A second recipe mixes gravel with bone meal. The recipes are meant to stay simple and balanced, and the author has noted that they may be revised in later updates.
The mod targets Create 0.6 and is built as a datapack, so it needs Create on the server to work. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. Builds exist for 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the latest file is for 1.21.1 from 2026-07-20. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source. It was first published on 2024-11-05.
Using the recipes in an automated factory is one common setup, since the netherrack supply can be fed into a self-storing system. The author also describes blaze cake farms that keep blaze burners fed, though the datapack itself only adds the recipes.
Key features
Dirt to netherrack mixing
Dirt and iron nuggets are mixed in a Create mixer over a heated blaze burner to produce netherrack.
Gravel and bone meal recipe
Gravel mixed with bone meal gives a second renewable route for the same kind of material.
Automated factory use
Renewable netherrack suits Create setups that store and sort output without manual collection.
Blaze burner recipes
Blaze burners supply the heat for the mixing recipes, so a blaze cake farm can keep them running.

What the author says
☆ Create 0.6 on 1.21.1 is now supported after an embarassingly long time! Go work some netherrack into your big automated self-storing factory or something. ☆ Simple datapack I originally made for myself that adds a renewable recipe for both Dirt and Netherrack. Now you can have completely self-sufficient blaze cake…
