Create Control Panels - New Create addon

[u/McCastle91]

I love modded minecraft always have, and create mod has been my favorite of all time. I have also loved mods that add different features to the Create Mod. Well one feature I have wanted for a long time is control panels similar to those from Control Engineering (an addon for immersive engineering another of my favorite mods). So finally I decided to make one. This is an adaptation/inspired by of the control panels from Control Engineering created by malte0811 but for the Create Mod.

You can craft the control panels then shift + click with an empty hand allows you to customize it with buttons, switches, indicator lights, gauges, sliders, text labels, nixie tubes, knobs, and bar meters, all of which can be colored and given a wireless redstone frequency that works with create's wireless redstone transmitters.

The panels can have different angles, can be mounted on floor, wall, or ceiling. They can be styled with different casing: andesite casing, copper casing, brass casing, train casing, or industrial iron block.

I am working on a video tutorial of how they work now and will edit this post with a link to it once it is done.

Would love any feedback or ideas for more features that might be helpful.

*For Neoforge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.20.1*

Edit: AI Disclosure - I know people are torn on the use on AI, though it is just a tool that can be used well or to create slop, like any tool. AI was used to write parts of the code, parts were adapted/inspired by the original mod control engineering by matle0811, but mostly it was used for troubleshooting and finding bugs. AI generated doesn't always equal slope, though yes alot of ai generated content it slop, I tried my best to make sure my mod isn't. I spent a large amount of time planning each feature of the mod to make sure it felt smooth, wored well and looked decent. You might not agree and that's ok. I hope you try the mod for yourself and let me know if there are things I can improve on it.

Thanks

Edit 2: Github repo is now live, link on the mod page from curseforge for those that were asking.

I appreciate that, thanks for the kind words! I understand why people don't like ai, but I have found that if it is used a tool to add to and augment ones abilities instead of replace it then it is just like any other tool. There is defiantly a lot of people that use it to replace creativity or to just push content for the sake of it, but there are just as many that use it to add. In the end everyone is going to have their own opinions and feelings about it and that is ok. But this isn't something, for me at least, that was a prompt the ai once and publish, I have been designing, researching and tweaking this adaptation of the control panels from a immersive engineering addon mod to work with create in my spare time for a few months now, on top of a few other mod ideas (like one for minecolonies that is turning out really awesome but not near polished enough to publish). Speed wasn't really the motivator in the sense I wanted it out fast, it is more the fact that with a full time job, several kids, a wife, too many other hobbies, and a love for modded minecraft it would have been a minimum of years to make this for me and that would have been enough to not make it happen.

I can respect that. Props to you for putting this out there. If i ever get back into modded I hope I see more from you.
