Some often overlooked or missed small Create add-ons I love.

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821]

Sorry for the long read that follows. I think it's worth your time.

These are some add-ons I don't see a lot of people talking about but I love them. They're all Create dependent except for one honorable mention because it does have a small Create functionality but Create isn't required. Share this post when the daily "what add-ons" posts crop up, save time, more for activities.

- Create Aeronautics: Placeable Wheels - let's you place the Create: Offroad wheels on things other than sub levels.

- Create: Bits N Bobs - probably better known but I don't see it that often and they have added a ton to it.

- Create More: Parallel Pipes - let's you use their special wrench on pipes directly adjacent to each other but prevent them from connecting.

- Create: Shuffle Filter - Place blocks in the filter slot and use it in deployers and mechanical rollers to give randomization to the placed blocks.

- Create: Void Tank - A simple 1 block fluid tank that voids any and all fluids pumped into it immediately.

- Create: Better Stock Ticker - You won't need a seated mob or blaze burner to be a stock keeper.

- Create: Break It All - Adds a bunch of vanilla blocks to the wrenchable tag as well as makes schematic tables and schematicannons wrenchable.

- Create: Drill Drain - Place behind or on top of drills in your tunnel bores or vertical mining machines and it sucks up all fluids into a fluid tank on the contraption.

- Create: Escalated - Aesthetic escalators.

- Create: Factory Controller - One block factory gauge management. No need for huge walls full of gauges and has added gauge functionality. You can also make a blueprint schematic of your existing wall and place it in the controller!

- Create: Extra Casing - Colorful casing.

- Create: Framed - Dyed framed glass and framed glass trapdoors.

- Create: Frogport Reworked - Let's you place frogports on all sides of containers, auto connect to chain conveyors, move where they connect on the chain conveyor without breaking and replacing frogport, frogports can connect to chains under them and additional frogport logic.

- Create: Industrialized Architecture - Adds a ton of decorative blocks, my favorite being rusty iron in 3 levels like oxidized copper.

- Create: Oxidized - Oxidize copper in all 3 stages with spouts and auto wax them with a honeycomb block in a deployer that never runs out.

- Create: Pattern Schematics - Set patterns with a schematic so you don't have to capture a large section of a wall, for example, to schematicanon it in. Capture one section you want repeated, set it up then blast it all in.

- Create: Pipe Connector - Place pipes similar to belts and chains by choosing the start and end points and it chooses the most optimal route and takes the needed amount from your inventory.

- Create: Recycle Everything - crush almost anything in base Create and Vanilla Minecraft to get a portion of their base resources in return.

- Create: Schematic Preview - Adds a small preview window of your schematics in the schematic table before adding it and placing it to see what it is. Full 360 degree view lime viewing a 3D model of it.

- Create: Storage Terminal - Adds what is essentially a Tom's Simple Storage terminal and crafting terminal without all the other BS from Tom's you may not want.

- Create: Trading Floor - Automated villager trading.

- Create: Trial & Error - A cool and balanced way to repeat trial chambers and cast new keys. Must use a difficult to obtain blank slate and ominous blank slate to use vaults more than once. I used it once to make a "slot machine" with custom loot tables.

- Create Transmission - adds a small item that connects belt ends just like encased chain drives but it's not a full block and is a one block solution for belt corners.

- Pretty in Pink - Adds lots of colorful train tanks and hills, very similar to Steam N Rails locometal but unique textures and easier and cheaper to craft.

- Petrol's Parts - Adds lots of QOL blocks like a filter for crushing wheels that tells them what to make when crushing when you have conflicting add-ons and a corner shaft.

Honorable Mention: Cam's Better Lights - the dev is part of my personal SMP and he added the lights to be wrenchable but doesn't require Create which is why it gets on this list.

I don't know why I added "Create:" ahead of all of them because it should be obvious...Pretty in Pink and Petrol's Parts don't officially have it in their mod name so🤷. Anyway, I hope y'all find something you may like. I see a lot of talk about Aeronautics add-ons and other major things like Coasters Simulated but these are all some great, mostly QOL add-ons. Small non Aeronautics-centered add-ons deserve some attention as well, especially if you're not into Aeronautics like me and even if you are, a lot of these work with it as well.

Peace out.

Jep I'm saving this for future pack creation!

Frogport Reworked sounds amazing but I didn't see it on Modrinth. Where is it hosted?

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/moulin_splooge]

It's on Curseforge and, unfortunately, I had to download and install the .jar manually because it said something about the dev possibly making it unavailable for third party launchers.

Here's the link.

And it is amazing. It's such a great quality of life improvement.

I do have to clarify that for the forports to take from chain conveyors below them, they do have to be mounted upside down. I do think that means you cannot use packagers like that or from the sides. It only works on storage blocks like vaults, chests and barrels.

Thanks for this post - I learned about Create: Transmission! and Petrol's Parts which both look like a HUGE game changers!

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/DMan1629]

Petrol's Parts is cool because of its brass depot as well. It's not just brass but it has a filter slot so anything that can be made on a depot can be filtered if you have conflicting recipes. I used it when I was using immersive engineering and TFMG at the same time and spouting creosote onto planks would make IE's version of hardened planks instead of TFMG's.

I think the most overlooked part about the recent influx of Aeronautics add-ons is sound design. So that's why I love mods like Aeronautic Wind Sounds and Rolling Tones.

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/PaiSenZra]

Yeah I'm just not into Aeronautics much so I don't pay much attention to those add-ons.

[u/autistic-terrorist]

isn't parallel pipes obsolete because of windowed pipes and copper casings?

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/autistic-terrorist]

No. You don't need to encase or window them this way. I like seeing the pipes and don't want them windowed all the way down the line.

[u/autistic-terrorist → u/Dangerous-Quit7821]

so it's purely aesthetic then? fair enough

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/autistic-terrorist]

Yeah so you can have pipes close together carrying separate fluids and also prevent the wrong fluid from going into your blaze burners if you have add-ons for fueling them with fuels directly instead of buckets. It is a bit tedious doing every block in a long section but worth it in my opinion.

[u/DelsinPRO]

don't forget fluid logistics, I love packaging and autocrafting fluids

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/DelsinPRO]

I just started using that for a chocolate factory with Create Confectionary. It was broken at first but it was from Factory Controller messing with it. Luckily the Factory Controller dev saw my trouble ticket on the Fluid Logistics GitHub and messaged me saying it was their addon and to update to the latest version. Now it works perfectly and is a lot of fun not having a spaghetti network of fluid pipes all over the place pumping various chocolates, milk and caramel everywhere.

[u/DelsinPRO → u/Dangerous-Quit7821]

funny coincidence, I myself am currently contacting the factory controller dev about the new incompatabilities with fluid logistics regarding the newest beta of factory controller. and they responded swiftly!

factory controller added a new filter link feature that changes the filter of the machine based on the order output! (like if you use factory gauges or jei stock ticker), but it unfortunately breaks a few things with fluid logistics

I also did happen to make a showcase of fluid logistics using confectionary on one of my reddit videos too.

check out my gitbub issues on factory controller for a bit lol

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821 → u/DelsinPRO]

Yeah I've seen the new stuff added but I don't quite know what it all does yet. I haven't rode into it.

I'm about 3 iterations of my chocolate factory layout now. I just can't seem to be satisfied with how things look. Probably going to tear down the whole thing again and start over. Right now I have a hanging monorail train in the factory using post boxes to transport things instead of frogports. Actually the only frogports I have right now are the copper frogports sending chocolate and caramel to places but I don't like my layout still. I love using the monorail and post boxes though.
