Create: TFMG Community Edition
Create: TFMG Community Edition is a NeoForge fork of Create that extends the steam and clockwork machinery of the base mod with new steampunk and dieselpunk content.
What it does
The mod builds on Create and adds its own machines, materials and processes on top of it. Its author describes it as a community continuation of the original TFMG project, with fixes for many bugs of that version and a plan to move the theme from steampunk toward dieselpunk. Create must be installed, and Rutile and Sable are optional dependencies that enable extra integration when present.
Create: TFMG Community Edition is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file dated 2026-09-29. The server and every player need the mod installed. Its license is a custom license, and the mod is not open source, although its source code and issue tracker are public. Create: The Factory Must Grow is incompatible and cannot be installed alongside it.
