An aesthetics-focused tech mod built around mechanical power, rotational force, and kinetic contraptions for processing and logistics.

Overview
Create is a tech mod created by simibubi. An aesthetics-focused tech mod built around mechanical power, rotational force, and kinetic contraptions for processing and logistics. As a tech mod it concentrates on machines, automation, and resource processing, and it has been downloaded around 95 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.
Create is built for builders who enjoy designing machines as much as using them. Power is rotational rather than abstract energy, so contraptions are assembled from shafts, gears, and belts, and the same kinetics drive trains, elevators, and moving structures. It rewards a bit of learning, so expect to spend some time understanding its systems before they click.
The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.18.2, 1.19.2, and 1.20.1, spanning the 1.18.2 to 1.20.1 releases. It runs on both the client and the server, so on a multiplayer server every player who connects needs it installed alongside the server itself.

How to install Create
Create supports Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.18.2, 1.19.2, and 1.20.1, so make sure your profile uses one of those versions.
- 1Choose and install one mod loader from Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.18.2, 1.19.2, and 1.20.1).
- 2Check the download page for any required libraries. Create lists no hard dependencies here, but it is always worth confirming for your exact version.
- 3Drop the Create .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and make sure every connecting player has it too.
- 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm Create appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and any library requirements.
Supported Minecraft versions: 1.18.2, 1.19.2, and 1.20.1. Always download the build that matches your version exactly, as mod files are version-specific.

Create has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.
If you are comparing options, similar mods include Immersive Engineering and Integrated Dynamics. They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
