Oh no: Create Utilities
Oh no: Create Utilities is a Forge add-on for Create that adds quality-of-life blocks, recipes and items aimed at automation builds.
What it does
The mod adds a collection of useful quality-of-life features around automation, with a focus on recipes that work alongside Create machinery. Its additions include Glow Ink, a luminous liquid that makes placed blocks emit soft glowing particles until they are washed clean with water, and Volcanic Ash, a fine dust that can be crushed from Basalt with Blaze Powder and fused into tuff.
Other additions cover compacted and dense blocks such as Compressed Cobblestone, which packs nine cobblestones into one block to save chest space, and a dense form that unpacks again when needed. Create's Diving Boots are also modified so that the levitation effect is removed while they are worn. A number of recipes simplify farming setups and resource processing, including a Glow Ink bucket recipe, a Soul Sand recipe, and several compacting recipes for amethyst and asurine.
Create is required and must be installed alongside this mod. The mod is published for Forge only, under the MIT License, and is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed. Its only game version is 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.6.2, released on 2025-08-31.
