Create Crafts and Additions Wiki & Guide

Start by crafting a Rolling Mill, since it produces the rods and wires that everything else depends on. Feed it ingots from a Create belt or depot, then use the rods to build your first Electric Motor and Generator setup.

You need a Generator (such as the Alternator or Electric Motor running in reverse) driven by Create rotational force, then connect it to machines with wires and connectors. The Alternator converts rotation into electric energy, which flows through your wire network to power motors, pumps, and accumulators.

Electrum is made by mixing Gold and Silver in a Create mixer, then pouring it into ingots or casting it into rods and sheets. If your pack lacks silver, check whether the mod uses an alternate recipe in your version's recipe viewer.

Place a Small or Large Connector on a machine or wire endpoint, then right-click with a Wrench or the connector item to cycle through modes like input, output, and bidirectional. Wires only transfer energy when the connector modes on both ends are compatible, so a mismatched input-to-input pair will not work.

The Electric Motor needs both a valid rotational output target and sufficient electric energy from your wire network. Check that the connector mode is set to output, the accumulator or generator has charge, and the motor's shaft is actually connected to the machine you want to drive.

The Accumulator stores large amounts of electric energy for long-term buffering, while the Capacitor holds a smaller charge and is meant for short bursts or smoothing fluctuations. Use accumulators as your main battery bank and capacitors near machines that draw spikey power.

The Tesla Coil wirelessly transmits electric energy to nearby connectors or machines within its range. Place it near your power source, give it energy through a connector, and position receivers within range so they pick up the charge without physical wires.

Biomass is produced by processing organic materials like seeds or plant matter, and it can be compacted into Biomass Pellets or Pallets for fuel. Biofuel comes from further refining biomass and is used in generators or as a liquid fuel source.

Both are Create add-ons that touch energy and mechanical systems, so they can overlap or conflict depending on recipes and energy units. Check your modpack's config and recipe viewer to see which energy system is active, and disable overlapping features if you see duplicate recipes.

Large wire networks, many accumulators, and constantly running generators can add tick load, especially on servers. Keep wire runs short where possible, avoid leaving machines running with no output, and use capacitors to smooth demand instead of spamming generators.
