Create Chain Conveyors Compat Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make a chain conveyor work?
Place two chain conveyor blocks, add a valid chain item to the #createchaincompat:valid_for_chain_conveyor tag, then right-click between the blocks with that item to connect them. The item will stay in place and function as your conveyor connector.
Can I use ropes from Quark or other mods?
Yes, the mod includes generic rope textures that work out of the box with ropes from Quark, Supplementaries, and Farmer's Delight. You'll need to add those rope items to the valid_for_chain_conveyor tag first.
What do I do if my chain texture looks wrong?
Create an entry in createchaincompat/data_maps/item/chain_tex_data.json mapping your item to a block texture, then type /reload in chat to apply the changes without restarting.
Do TerraFirmaCraft chains work automatically?
Yes, metal chains from TerraFirmaCraft are supported out of the box without any configuration needed.
Can I use chain conveyors on moving airships?
Yes, chain conveyors work on moving physics contraptions when used alongside Create Aeronautics, letting you build transport systems on airships and other moving structures.
How do I add a custom item as a chain conveyor connector?
Add the item to the #createchaincompat:valid_for_chain_conveyor tag using a data pack or KubeJS, and optionally map a texture to it in chain_tex_data.json if you want custom visuals.
Do chain conveyors cost more than regular Create conveyors?
No, chain conveyors maintain standard Create conveyor mechanics and item costs, so they're balanced the same way.
Can I change textures without restarting the game?
Yes, after editing chain_tex_data.json, simply type /reload in chat to apply your texture changes immediately.
What happens if I don't assign a texture to my chain item?
The chain will still function as a conveyor connector, but it will use a default appearance rather than a custom texture.
Does this mod work with modpack tools and datapacks?
Yes, the mod is designed to work cleanly alongside pack tools, letting you build unique transport setups through datapacks and configuration files.
