Destroy

by petrolpark

With Destroy installed, the Create factory gains chemistry: players build reaction setups that produce plastic, explosives and other chemicals from a molecular simulation.

What it does

Destroy is an add-on to Create that adds new chemicals and chemical processes, centered on the production of plastic. Players can assemble multi-step chemical plants, make new explosives, or pursue less lawful goals, and the safety notes in the author text apply to all of them. Tooltips, recipe viewers and in-game walkthroughs connect real chemistry concepts to the recipes in the mod.

The flagship system is a sandbox that simulates chemistry at the molecular level instead of replacing it with fixed recipes. Reactants are supplied in a wide set and can be combined, transformed and extracted in many ways. Thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, a functional group reaction system and a large library of common molecules and reactions sit underneath. Non-ideal gases and quantum effects are left out, and a basic grasp of chemistry is useful for following the results.

Destroy requires Create and Petrolpark's Library, and it is also needed by CC:Destroy Bridge, Destructive Temperatures, Create:Connected Vessel compat fix and Integreat. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 only, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Sandbox chemistry

    Reactants combine, transform and extract through a molecular simulation rather than a fixed recipe list.

  2. Plastic production

    Chemical plants built from Create parts turn reactants into plastic and other products.

  3. Explosives

    Players can synthesize new explosive compounds as part of the chemistry system.

  4. Kinetic components and machines

    New Create-style kinetic parts, processing machines and curiosity blocks extend the existing Create systems.

  5. Tooltips and Ponder scenes

    Tooltips and Ponder scenes explain reactions and molecules in game.
