Learning Machines with the 3D Ponder System

Starting a Safe World and Viewing Recipes

When playing Create Fly Mod, always generate a brand-new world. Loading into old world saves can cause permanent data loss. Because this mod introduces numerous mechanical parts, tools, and processed materials, pair the game with a recipe viewer such as REI, JEI, or EIV. A recipe viewer lets you look up crafting steps for every machine and raw material directly from your inventory.

Using the Built-In Ponder Tutorials

Rather than guessing how complex gearboxes and kinetic blocks link together, use the built-in 3D Ponder tutorial system:

1. Hover over a machine or mechanical component in an inventory or creative menu.

2. Access the 3D Ponder screen to open an interactive, animated tutorial showing the block in action.

3. Watch the visual demonstration to see exact placement angles, rotational requirements, and how secondary blocks interact with it.

4. Follow your personal milestone progress across the custom advancement page as you build your first working factories.
