by DeltaV - Modding

Crafts & Construct, a Create addon, adds a paint system that lets players recolor Create blocks with a Paint Gun, plus decorative textile blocks, fluid pipes and a sugar beet and candy line.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

The core feature is a custom painting system. Players craft an empty Paint Cartridge, fill it with a chosen material such as Andesite Alloy, Brass Ingot or Sturdy Sheets, and hold a loaded cartridge in the off-hand. Using the Paint Gun then applies that material to Create blocks and changes their appearance, which suits organized factory piping and color-coded machinery. The mod supports three primary industrial themes: Andesite, Brass and Sturdy, the last formerly known as Train.

The addon also adds fluid pipes and smart fluid pipes, along with decorative textile blocks for factory floors, train stations and living spaces. Textile blocks are available in standard and checkered styles, and checkered blocks add patterns and tiling. Players who want a break from heavy automation can grow Sugar Beets from new Sugar Beet Seeds, harvest them to make sugar, and craft Gummy Bears in five colors: green, yellow, red, pink and blue.

Crafts & Construct requires Create. Each Create addon depends on the base mod, so Create must be present on both sides. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Paint Gun recoloring

    A Paint Gun applies a loaded cartridge's material to Create blocks, changing their look without rebuilding them.

  2. Textile blocks

    Standard textile blocks cover the full set of Minecraft colors, and checkered variants add patterns and tiling.

  3. Fluid pipes

    Fluid Pipes and Smart Fluid Pipes extend the piping options for factory builds.

  4. Sugar beet and Gummy Bears

    Sugar Beets grown from new seeds yield sugar for crafting Gummy Bears in five colors.
