Mechanical Machinery
by Bennyboy1695
Mechanical Machinery is a Forge add-on for Create that adds a set of machines, including a sifter powered by Create's stress units.
What it does
Mechanical Machinery adds several machines that extend Create. Its sifter is the main block: it takes its power from Create's stress units through the bottom face and sifts ingredients into results. Fluid recipes are supported as well, and the mod ships with default recipes. Connectable sifters can pass a shared load between them, and the author notes tiered sifters as a possible addition.
Custom sifting meshes and recipes can be added through KubeJS, and the wiki explains how. The author describes the mod as being in its early stages, with more machines and a storage system planned. Bugs are expected at this stage, and reports go to the project's issue tracker.
The mod requires Create, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, with its latest file, 1.3.0, targeting 1.19.2. Mechanical Machinery is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Stress-powered sifter
The sifter draws power from Create's stress units through its bottom face and sifts ingredients into results.
Fluid recipes
Sifting and other machine recipes can also use fluids, not only solid items.
Default recipes and custom meshes
The mod comes with default recipes, and custom meshes can be defined through KubeJS.
Connectable sifters
Sifters can be linked so that one shares its load with the others in the chain.

How it compares
Create Sifting is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and open source, which covers a different version range from this mod. Create: Better Pumps targets Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License and is open source, so it is a pump addon rather than a sifter addon. Create: New Tempest is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 under the MIT License, open source, and also runs on client and server.

What the author says
Mechanical machinery is a mod I have made to add all the things that i wish could be done with Create. Currently it only adds a sifter (I know a mod already exists I just preferred my own version as it wasn't just a millstone overlayed:joy: and has more features), but I plan to add many things to the mod too. NOTE…
