Create: The Factory Must Backport
by toastydoll
Create: The Factory Must Backport is a Forge and NeoForge compatibility mod that makes backported Vanilla Backport content work with the Create mod.
What it does
Players who use Vanilla Backport sulfur and backported blocks alongside Create can run this mod to connect the two. It adds a sulfur crushing recipe and a sulfur crafting recipe, so backported sulfur can be processed through Create machinery, and it integrates other backported content into Create's recipe system.
The mod is a compatibility layer for the Factory Must Grow line of Create add-ons. Its own feature list is short: a Factory Must Grow element, plus the sulfur recipes and the integration with backported content. Players on Forge or NeoForge install it with Create and Vanilla Backport.
Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across four game versions, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest Forge file 1.0.2 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file 1.0.2 for 1.21.1, both dated 2026-05-30. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
