Create: Windmill Speed Control

by Zaqito

Create: Windmill Speed Control gives Create windmills a custom bearing whose visual rotation can be set faster or slower than the standard one.

What it does

The mod adds a windmill bearing block to the Create mod. Its rotation can be adjusted, and it adds a visual speed factor set in steps of 10 percent, so large decorative windmills can turn more naturally. Players also choose the rotation direction on this bearing, independently of the vanilla setting. Standard Create windmill contraptions work with it, and the rotation stays in sync across a multiplayer server.

The change is purely cosmetic: the block alters how fast a windmill looks turning, while the generated Stress Units and the gameplay balance of Create stay as they are. The mod is developed by Zaqito for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. Because the server must share the rotation for multiplayer to match, the mod is installed on both the client and the server. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code is public.

Key features

  1. Custom windmill bearing

    A new bearing block replaces the standard windmill bearing for builds that need a different look.

  2. Adjustable visual speed

    The visual rotation speed can be raised or lowered in 10 percent steps without changing the mechanical output.

  3. Rotation direction control

    The direction of rotation is set on the bearing itself, separate from the vanilla direction option.

  4. Unchanged mechanical performance

    Generated Stress Units and the balance of Create are left unchanged, only the appearance of the turning changes.
