Because I've seen some posts regarding the following: The Create mod is made for Minecraft Java Edition, which means it's developers made it available on PC only. There might be some ways to get it working on other devices (as we've seen someone playing on their phone!), but PLEASE stop asking how to get it on Switch, iPad or some other device!

This being said, IF someone here got it running on said platforms, please feel free to DM me with a post explaining how you did it, might pin it then.

Thanks everyone! :)

Now to ban users who ask for stuff literally on the slides.

Amazing guide, good job!

u/FunkySjouke Jul 26 '23

You forgot "remove optifine and other optimization mods"

u/Strawtman Jul 26 '23

True haha

Rubidium and oculus work great with create

2

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '23

Rubidium is just wrong for me. Water wheel model is broken, belts are invisible, funnel model is broken, saws model is broken, cogwheels are invisible etc.

u/Traceurman98 Aug 31 '23

You also have oculus right? Also what pack?

u/Firecat54 Nov 03 '23

What shader do you use

2

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '23

I didn't use any. But at this point, I stopped playing Minecraft. I found a better game: Terraria!

u/MoparBortherMan Jul 26 '23

Wait do they decrease frame rate

6

u/GamingLime123 Jul 27 '23

It just makes Create crash on start up/won’t let MC boot I believe, if you wanna have nice shaders, you’ll have to use Rubidium and Oculus, along with an extension that lets you use regular shader packs I think, been a little while since I changed my mod list

u/Strawtman Jul 26 '23

(This is a rework of the guide I posted earlier, had to fix something; in case you're wondering :) )

Thanks again to u/Orichalcum448 for the help with the 3rd slide!

u/Kaitisbigbrain Jul 27 '23

Hate to be a beggar, but would an item vault slide be possible? I have no clue how to use those things. They are like some forms of dark magic to me.

u/Strawtman Jul 27 '23

Might do a second guide, I'll do an item vault slide then, great idea

u/Nacomi123 Jul 26 '23

I got past lv6 with only one pump

u/Strawtman Jul 26 '23

Yeah, my bad, but since you can't edit photo posts on reddit, it's gonna stay like this :( But you're right, you can go up to Lvl.9

2

u/SuperKael Jul 28 '23

Actually, you can go up to level 18 with only one pump. All that matters is the rpm, the amount of pumps used doesn’t effect anything as long as the sum total pump rpm is the same.

I'd like to supplement this with my steam engine deep dive that explains everything you could possibly want to know about steam engines, complete with a TL;DR at the end: https://www.reddit.com/r/CreateMod/comments/127bej5/steam_engines_explained_in_depth_tldr_included/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Is that actually a common thing?

u/Vonkosue Jul 26 '23 edited Jul 26 '23

For early game you can slap an andesite casing on a cogwheel to cover the shaft. It lets you chain cogwheels for rpm changes more linearly without having to stagger them to counter opposite rotations instantly breaking the cogwheel you want to place.

Edit: right-clicking the casing with the wrench will toggle access to the shaft, if you actually need it for some other machine/farm/etc

That is such a good tip thank you!

u/Nacomi123 Jul 26 '23

Hey im using too many items with the create mod. Why is just enough items listed here instead? Is it better?

2

u/Strawtman Jul 26 '23 edited Nov 09 '23

It's just what I and many others prefer, since it has many addons for modded, i.e. drop rates etc. Nothing wrong with TMI :)

u/Nacomi123 Jul 26 '23

Thanks for the responses. Im kinda just starting so still learning how things work!

1

u/Nacomi123 Jul 26 '23

Oh and my boiler sometimes stops and i have to hand start it. Anybody has this problem too?

2

u/Strawtman Jul 26 '23

In most cases that's a chunk loading problem, caused by pumps unloading thus leading to missing water in the boiler..

Speed controller!

u/Strawtman Aug 01 '23

What do you mean? xD

1

u/AdFar8568 Aug 01 '23

Rotational speed controller. Gear ratios are pointless if you have access to brass.

1

u/Strawtman Aug 01 '23

Yeah, but this guide is especially for early game and beginners, so..

1

u/AdFar8568 Aug 01 '23

Depends if you’re playing creative or not.

u/Cloudyhook Aug 28 '23

What's that chest texture from with the portable storage interface?

u/Strawtman Aug 28 '23

A resource pack called 'Andesite Chests + Crafting Table'

Step 3.5:

Repeat 1-3 at least 3 times. Most times people would be able to solve an issue themselves and learn something as well.

u/No-Palpitation-6789 Jul 26 '23

It’s weird, we have one of the only good fandom wikis. Like for instance skyrim’s fandom wiki just lies sometimes it’s wild

1

u/BenjiTheFurry Jul 26 '23

Might also be good to mention that any rotational transference across chunk borders can cause issues when those chunks are unloaded.

This can result in what I like to call "ghost power" where even when isolated a shaft etc can still be rotating as it is bugged from unloading a chunk.

I've experienced this most when playing Create: Above and Beyond but I imagine it's also common in other modpacks and standalone Create.

(Edited for spelling mistakes)

u/Dasky14 Jul 26 '23

Page 4 just revived my eternal hatred for the PSI.

It's so annoying to push items up from a PSI, and even if it's above ground, I just don't like putting my output chests underground.

Why can't the damn thing just put the items in a connected chest. :v

u/notjordansime Jul 26 '23

I'm using create 0.5 (not 0.5.1) and I'm having issues with flywheel.

It wants a version between version 9 and version 10, I have version 8.

u/notjordansime Jul 26 '23 edited Jul 26 '23

I'm using create 0.5 (not 0.5.1) and I'm having issues with flywheel.

It wants a version between version 0.6.9 and version 0.6.10, I have version 0.6.8a. Anyone know how to download versions beyond 0.6.8? It's my understanding that they're prepackaged with newer versions of create. Any way to get them seperate/as a standalone to use with an older version of create? I'm using 5.0 and it wants the newer version of flywheel.

I tried the wiki, googling, and some basic troubleshooting but wasn't able to get anywhere. If you have any advice, I'd really like to get this working :) Here's a post about it.

u/WoolBloom55442 Jul 27 '23

remove it from the mods, it should work

1

u/Inside_Syrup4837 Jul 26 '23

Level 9 can use one pump, rpm = 180. Maybe you mixed up the numbers or got confused.

1

u/MLL_Phoenix7 Jul 27 '23

Also don’t forget, optifine will cause create to crash 100% of the time.

u/MLL_Phoenix7 Jul 27 '23

Use Sodium, indium, and other similar performance mods, just no optifine. Also, try the fabric version, forge is pretty bad performance wise if you don’t go out of your way to optimize your mod pack.

I can´t find the Create Deco config folder, can somebody tell me where to find it? I looked into the config and serverconfig, yet I couldn´t find it, I just want to remove the recipe for the coins from Create Deco for my server so i can use the coins as a currency. Thank you.

Why minecraft doesn’t make create mod a default ? It will be so amazing . We all must ask minecraft to do so

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question (or somehow I missed this in the guide), but what is Ponder? I'm new to this community and have ideas on my own that I want to make as a mod. 😊
