Create is a Minecraft mod for NeoForge that redefines automation — not through menus and GUIs, but through animated, physical machines you build in the world. Gears turn, belts carry items, pistons push entire structures, and trains haul cargo across your world. Every system is visible, tangible, and yours to design.

Installation

Download Create and add it to your NeoForge instance in minutes.

First Steps

Craft your first kinetic components and get rotation flowing.

Core Concepts

Understand rotational force, stress, and contraptions — the three pillars of Create.

Addon Development

Extend Create with custom movement behaviours, recipes, and registries.

What Create offers

Kinetics

Generate, transmit, and consume rotational force through gears, shafts, and belts.

Contraptions

Move entire structures of blocks, carry items, and interact with the world as they travel.

Fluids

Pipe, pump, store, and process fluids through a pressure-based network.

Logistics

Route items with funnels, belts, tunnels, filters, and the new packaging system.

Trains

Assemble bogey-based trains, lay tracks, and set automated schedules.

API

A rich Java API lets addon mods register new behaviours, recipes, and storage types.
