TFMG Duststorm
by Paxilmaniac
TFMG Duststorm is a NeoForge edit of Create: The Factory Must Grow for Minecraft 1.21.1, changing several of that mod's machine rules.
What it does
The mod edits Create: The Factory Must Grow rather than adding a separate machine set. Its changes cover recipe behavior, such as the industrial blasting recipe that JEI shows as requiring hot air, and the minimum size JEI displays for the vat recipe. Electrode holders are always operational, and the chemical vat maximum height is raised from its original limit.
The changes are carried by a datapack built with a simple datapack approach, so the edits apply through data files rather than new code paths. Create: The Factory Must Grow and Just Enough Items (JEI) are both required, and the mod is listed as Client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with source code and an issue tracker public.
Builds target 1.21.1 only, with NeoForge the sole loader. The latest NeoForge file is 1.0.2 for 1.21.1, dated 2026-06-25, and the first release came on 2026-06-19.
