Create: Netherrack Recipe
by itzdragoncze
Create: Netherrack Recipe, a Create add-on, lets players automate netherrack production by pouring lava onto clay blocks inside a Create setup.
What it does
The mod adds a Create recipe that turns molten lava poured onto a clay block into netherrack, so a machine line can produce the block without manual mining. Create is required, and the recipe is loaded from a datapack when the world starts. Server owners who want the recipe on a dedicated server install it there, while clients may add the mod for a smoother setup but do not need it to join.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across two game versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the same functionality on each loader. A datapack version is also available as a zip file, which can be dropped into a world's datapacks folder instead of installing the mod. Files are released under the MIT License and the project is not open source.
Key features
Automated netherrack
A Create recipe pours 100 mB of lava onto a clay block to produce netherrack, so the block can be made in a machine chain.
Datapack option
The same recipe can be installed as a zip datapack placed in a world's datapacks folder, without any mod files.
Recipe viewing
Just Enough Items (JEI) shows the new recipe in game, so players can check the inputs and outputs.

Use cases
Automated survival builds
Players who run a Create factory can feed lava and clay into a machine and collect netherrack without mining it by hand.
Server recipe changes
Server owners can add the recipe through the datapack instead of the mod, keeping the change in the world folder.
Who it’s for: Players who run Create factories and want netherrack as part of an automated chain, and server owners who prefer to add the recipe through a datapack.
