Create Dupe Patch Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why does my Schematicannon suddenly need way more materials?
The Create Dupe Patch Mod is now correctly reading the material cost of blocks with special data tags (like enchanted items or custom NBT data). Previously, the Schematicannon ignored these tags and printed items for free; now it charges the proper cost.
Do I need to install this mod to play on a server using it?
No. The Create Dupe Patch Mod runs only on the server side, so you can join and play normally without downloading anything extra.
How do I know if the patch is actually working on my server?
Try loading a schematic that contains data-tagged blocks (like enchanted items or blocks with custom properties). If the Schematicannon now asks for more materials than it used to, the patch is active and working.
Can I still use my old schematics that were built for free?
Yes, but they will now cost the correct amount of materials to rebuild. You'll need to gather the additional items the machine now requires, or edit the schematic to remove expensive data-tagged blocks.
Does this mod slow down my server or game?
No. The Create Dupe Patch Mod is lightweight and only adjusts how the Schematicannon calculates costs—it has minimal impact on performance.
What exactly are data-tagged blocks and why do they cost more now?
Data-tagged blocks are blocks that store extra information, like enchantments or custom properties. The patch makes the Schematicannon count these tags when calculating material costs, so blocks that previously seemed cheap now cost what they should.
Will this mod work with older game versions?
Yes. The Create Dupe Patch Mod backports a bug fix from newer Create versions to older game saves, so you can use it even if you're not on the latest update.
What happens if I remove the mod from my server?
The Schematicannon will return to its old behavior and allow free copying of items again. Any schematics built while the patch was active will still require their full material cost to rebuild.
Does this patch affect anything other than the Schematicannon?
No. The mod only fixes how the Schematicannon reads material costs for data-tagged blocks. Other Create machines and features work the same as before.
Can players bypass this patch by using a different method to copy items?
This mod specifically patches the Schematicannon duplication glitch. Other potential exploits in Create are separate issues and would need their own fixes.
