I think Create's single most important factor is that it is highly accessible and easy to learn for anyone. The in-game "Ponder" system shows you a 3D animation on how any components work, making you not even need to go on KZfaq for a guide for the basics

This was a great video!! My personal favourite part about Create is the updates. They literally never hit wrong (except for maybe the new way to configure components, I'd love to have an option to use the old way with a wrench)

I love how Create fits in with the vanilla style so well while doing such crazy things you'd never expect minecraft to be capable of. The fact that it's mechanisms are arguably easier to understand than redstone makes it my favorite mod ever, with farmer's delight being a close second.

You forgot possibly the biggest thing: Entirely custom-made moving structures. Extending beyond just the farm and windmill, a lot of people love Create's ability to make virtually anything move. It's sparked an entire group of content where people just make trains and doors. Just doors. It's simple to understand, complicated to master, and will always give a different challenge each time you try to reach the same goals in a different space. It's a constantly unique experience and you can't take that away.

I think main reason why Create managed to get so popular in such a short period of time is because of how beautiful and fun it is to the average player that doesnt really have prior experience to other tech mods, Not just furnace#1-(pipe)-furnace#2(multiblock).

Hey there! I'm one of the team members for the Create mod! So happy you love the mod, this was a really sweet video, put a big smile on my face! I dunno if we deserve all this praise, but still, thank you! Crazy to think it's been 3 years!

My favorite part about Create is its scalability. With Immersive Engineering, you need a dozen different blocks made of a hundred different parts to craft a bucket drill that can dig out a ton of resources, making it a powerful late game structure due to its cost and complexity. In Create, all you need is a handful of materials to slap a drill and chest on a furnace minecart and make a tunnel bore. It's far simpler and easier to get early, but also can be upgraded with better parts later to make it more effective (more drills, more storage, powered rails, deployers to make bridges) In short, the simplicity of Create's single block machines allows the player to scale to whatever production level is needed, instead of having single larger machines that do a lot but cost a lot

The biggest draw of Create, at least for me, is how much of it is in-world. There are relatively few UI screens in Create compared to most other tech mods, and even a lot of magic mods, I kind of compare it to Thaumcraft in terms of in-world interaction.

The most important point is: It's enabling the players to do powerful automation without the result being too overpowered and also still looking the part - iE, not just a single block or uniquely valid multiblock structure. You can still inspect it and understand all its parts. It does not devalue the effort of achievements in vanilla automation the same way that singleblock-industry mods tend to do and therefore meshes with vanilla playstyles far better than any of those.

Create is op if used and right and just fun all around, it's so unique, so open to imagination and perfect for any open world

Let’s not forget the SchematiCannon in this mod! Out of ALL of the Schematic mods out there, it feels the most balanced with better use for gunpowder and a better way to have requirements of making the builds you want to create with it. It just feels a lot of fun doing so, and reward is far from beneficial :)

Many valid points there ngl, but i feel like you forgot one very important thing. The Create mod has a vast amount of add-ons. The Create mod's ecosystem went rly big in the past few months, when you look at aeronautics, clockwork, Create Deco, Brewin' And Chewin' and many more.

I remember the first time I saw the Create mod was on a modded server with a bunch of friends. One of them had built the most beautiful windmill I'd ever seen rotating smoothly and I just had to ask them how they did it. They then proceeded to give me a lengthy explanation of everything the mod can do and at the time I remember feeling like a kid in a candy shop. Its more than just a tech mod, it can do so many things that I hadn't even dreamed of doing but now I just had to. That's what Create is to me, everything you could possibly wish Mojang would add in the next update, Create can in some fashion do it in many different ways and with so much freedom to express however you want. And its not even done yet, with every new update there's an extra piece that adds a new branch of infinite possibilities to explore. As you said in the video, I could see Create standing the test of time. There's always going to be new unique contraptions that can be invented.

I think that one important thing here is the fact that most automation mods give you single block machines that just do something all at once. Create instead gives you building blocks, that don't do too much on their own, and you need to assemble them on your own to make something useful. This makes the mod much more interesting, and visual. Have you noticed that create has almost no GUI's?

One thing that sets Create apart from other mods is the fact that most crafting processes are out in the open. Most other tech mods, like Immersive Engineering has buildings that hide it, you just put in the resources and then out comes the product. In most of Create, however, you actually see the process take place. The mixing of ingredients, grinding of the ores, and the toppings of the baked goods are a few examples (The grindstone doesn't show its process, but I think we can all imagine it's just mini grind wheels in it). That is what makes it so satisfying as well, alongside the transportation. Create basically broke down the walls of many tech mod blocks, and because of the modularity with its parts, you can get the exact ratios without too much hassle. I believe Create is a mod that can't really be topped in what it does best, or at the very least easily. I know this is a lengthy explanation, but then again, Create has a much longer list of things that can be built with it.

Personally, Farmer's Delight and Create mod are born to be together, can't just play without one.

What a good time to be a modded minecraft player

I think a massive part of create’s ongoing success is due to the sheer amount of addons; Clockwork, Enchantment industry, Aeronautics, Liftoff, Offroad, Steam ‘n’ Rails, Stuff and Things, and about a bajillion other ones that are out or in development.

It's kinda crazy industrialcraft is so lost to time that it doesn't even get a mention despite being THE tech mod back in the early days

I think the main thing that makes the create mod so popular and fun to play is that it encapsulates and extrapolates on the wonder of minecraft and Redstone, but all these years later, it's like that scene with Anton Ego, it's like being sent back to your childhood where you would look up tutorials for making piston doors and hopper based item sorters

A very underrated part of Create is how cheap/easy the recipes are

Another thing with Create is that the mod works. How many times you had a mod that doesn't work properly? I never had any issues with anything Create-related. And the "ponder" option it's just an excellent way of adding well made documentation inside the game

Can’t forget about create expansion and add on mods, from smaller expansion mods, enchantment industry, above and beyond, or larger game mechanic ones like off-road expansion and the almighty aeronautics. It’s pretty incredible stuff

Create is one of the few mods I would love to see being implemented into the base game

i first found create shortly after it released, before it even was a tech mod. i remember when all the tech stuff came out, and it was so unsearchable. i'd look up "minecraft create mod" and see only videos about creating minecraft mods, having to scroll and scroll before i got to create videos. im glad to see how far it has come.

I think the Create models for the gears and conveyor belts are just a little too over-modeled to feel legitimately vanilla, but despite that its still close enough to not feel too out of place. They work well with the vanilla textures.

There is a couple of flaws with old mods like Twilight and etc.. Lucky Blocks are repetetive, you break a block get something good or bad. Twilight, no updates, didn't even finish the final boss. GalactiCraft, go to space, finished the mod. Create is quite literally just an additive of minecraft, it just compliments the game.

My favorite part of this mod and why I think it's so perfect is how you can use it to solve problems in many different ways, practical ways, efficient ways, really fun and silly ways. I am really glad you brought up Hermitcraft. I think it's the ideal way to enjoy the game. I am a huge fan of GoodTimesWithScar and he's actually already messed with Create, recently even making a desert runway with a little plane. Overall why I think this mod is perfect is because I've genuinely been inspired to use it as a way to make a story. I want a train station, I want a crazy evil looking factory filled with lava, I want a giant airship that deploys flying rats into the sky!

Another thing is that create utilizes already existing minecraft resources, it does add some of their own but these are brass and zinc and some decorative stones, thats it

It just fits man. Lore friendly, optimised, game friendly, AESTHETIC, game extension, Its just awesome AWESOME.

0:36 *"Lucky Block, Spawn, Galacticraft, andTwilight Forest to name a few"* Oh man, you totally left out the Aether...THE definitive mod that changed the game

Create is genuinely an amazing mod, I'm glad you're giving it the attention it deserves!

Create is everything I ever wanted from a single mod. Not that that stops me from still using a hundred more mods alongside it cuz I'm a mod junkie, but still. If I could only pick one mod, it would be Create, hands down I remember back in the day when BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft were the two kings of tech mods. Now Create is taking the throne

Hey, this is a really good video. I’d recommend at least giving Oh The Biomes You Go a shoutout. This video gave that mod a heavy showcase as well lol

A thing you missed is the insanely powerful codebase, which makes it very easy (relative to other mods) for addon developers to add things which work with already existing create mod blocks and items.

Another thing to think about is how much worldbuilding this could expand upon in a lot of diff types of servers and allow for so much more capabilities in all kinds of aspects of the game. Personally I would love to see more steampunk and or fantasy servers with a large scale of players and just being able to see all the different types of aeronautics and how players use to mod to expand on their specific interests, ie: a floating restaurant, sky ports for trade, and all kinds of stuff.

I give Create 0.00001 Gregtechs out of 10 Gregtechs. Conclusion: Not Greg.

I could not agree with you more, I think the first time I saw Create was when it’s initial boom in popularity hit back in 2019-2020 and I think it was through the Epic SMP or the Cogchamp SMP (Fundy and his friends) and I was absolutely blown away by how complex yet simple the mod was and how much modularity it had, it made me think things of Minecraft I had never thought about before or ever thought was possible. I personally would say create is the best and most influential mod ever made but there are other greats (E.g. tinkers, immersive engineering) which were probably inspiration for create (mostly talking about immersive engineering)

don't forget about how many unique and amazing addons for create there is my favorite being steam & rails.

Create to me feels like it belongs in vanilla. It’s such an outstanding mod that allows so much creativity, and its style fits so well with the rest of the world. Every time I see the mod, it just feels like minecraft.

ngl replace create with gregtech and i agree

create is dependent on YOU, not itself which is why people get bored of other mods, because create is only limited by very few conditions and your own desire to get it done immersive engineering is the second best mod ever made, because its literally create, but without all of create's own flexibility but immersive engineering is "too easy" while also being "too hard"

Create is really something special. It integrates itself into vanilla very well, while adding mechanics that open up a lot of possibilities that players only could have dreamed of, most importantly moving contraptions. The sheer amount of ways contraptions can be used; in farms, in windmills, minecart contraptions, trains... all rely on this mechanic. And the way Create is visually pleasing: You have all those moving parts and great animations happening in the world, with little to no GUIs. Automation is handled in a way, that isn't too complicated, but leaves a lot of space for creativity. Trains are another good example: Create doesn't give you, say 10 train models and thats it, instead you build the trains yourself out of regular blocks. Create does everything in a way, that allows for creativity, and thats what Create is all about, and why it fits into vanilla so nicely.

I appreciate the use of the newer Minecraft music... Most Minecraft videos either use other music, or only the classic nostalgia music. The newer tracks are super underrated.

one detail i like about treefelling with the mechanical saw is that all the items will fall in a line that faces away from the saw, as if the tree really fell in that direction. it also makes it easier to get the items too.

Excellent video I just have a suggestion: when you make replays of yourself exploring in these custom biomes, don't forget to set your fov to 30 !

i saw your shorts. your videos are awesome, im subbing rn😃

really nice job on the video :) amazing quality. However, as someone who had previously never heard of create, you only explained what the mod did at 4:40, i was left having to piece it together via the background footage without a direct informational overview. I feel that a proper explanation early into the video would be fitting and also advantageous to both you and the viewer. keep up the nice videos :)

My friend started a server with a modpack with create as the focus, i was reluctant at first but i was amazed at how well it fit with and improves upon the vanilla game. It feels like if mojang made an official dlc or expansion to the game

Another great thing about create is that you can use it in pretty much everymodpack. It can look both old and modern, it feels like vanilla, but you can also incoperate it in a more outlandish modpack and you it can even fit into something that has nothing to do with Tech (like Dawncraft).

it was a awesome journey too see a mod go from 500k downloads to 20m+ troughout the years

I wanna get into create, but there's so much to learn and it's honestly kind of intimidating especially when I don't have the time to learn everything when life is going on.

GREGTECH RAINS SUPREME

Talking about big mods influencing the community and not bringing up MUCH older stuff like Tekkit and Better Than Wolves makes me feel... old. It's simple, really, Minecraft's biggest "hole" is making stuff move, and Create does that in a way that fits right into the Minecraft philosophy of making useful machines by knowing how blocks interact rather than just... making a block that does stuff.

One thing I like about create is that everything relies on kinetic power sources instead of electricity. I've always been big into locomotives so seeing how things are working as they work is always exciting for me, building huge machines to do things for me tickles the right spots in my brain.

Fits beautifully into Minecraft's feel of doing what you want with some tools we've given you. Feels more like DLC than a mod

I know a japanese mod that did the same but It was only on 1.5.2 called hugo's mod, but Create makes hugo's mod like an old man, i love create even if is hard as shit to me to manage

Create is very cool mod, but too be clear, it collides with a lot of other mods, so if you plan to put it in costume modpack, just make sure, that all of your mods are compatible with it.

Haven't seen anyone talk about this but the ponder system is so well done as well. You don't have to check a generic wiki for the mod to get stuff done, it's all right there in-game, super simple, well explained, well structured. I think this makes create attract everyone, experienced or not.

This is why, to me, the mod trifecta is Minecraft Comes Alive, Create, and Tough as Nails. They just fill in the things that feel missing in vanilla to me, you know?

One of the best ways to describe Create is a tagline a friend told me once, though I don't know if he came up with it or it originates elsewhere, "The factory must grow." There's always something new to automate, always something to improve and optimize. If you're standing there with no idea what to do next, that tagline is more then enough to tell you. Go find something else to automate, go and see what you can speed up. Complimented with some other mods, Create can do almost anything. The modpack me and some friends play has projecte (with the right EMC configured, it and Create compliment eachother so well, without stepping over one another), and using both of them we have managed to make something that can craft enchanted golden apples, a recipe another mod added.

as i got more and more familiar with create, all i could think about was a video just like this one so that i could justify why this mod was so special to me. without a doubt, this is the best "why create is the best minecraft mod ever" video ever. couldn't have done it better myself.

cant wait for planes, and also what shader are you using?

amazing to finally see someone put all my thoughts on create and its brilliance into words!

i'm just leaning into Create and what's drawing me to it, is how I loved immersive engineering and Tinker's construct. I love the idea of multi-block doodads and machines.

What music did you use for the video? Great editing by the way, love the vid!!

I think this mod and tinkers construct should be part of minecraft vanilla because how good and fitting they are

I think you meant "the best Content mod ever made" because JEI is just absurdly powerfull. It has so many fratures to help mod devs, that it is arguably one of the best mods out there, when you look at it from a developer perspective.

I think you should have mentioned little animations that really help by explaining how things in this mod work

As someone who LOVES multiblock structures, I still agree with Create being the best Minecraft mod. Goes with anything, from One Piece to Kingdom Hearts to Pokémon. Unlike Redstone, you can do A LOT without a Ph.D, but when you see someone who really KNOWS Create, you get arguably an even bigger joy from watching their work.

Personally, whenever someone wants to play modded mc with engineering, I always put Create. Why? Cause not only does it look fancy, cool and fits in with Minecraft's style, it's easy to use with it's tutorials IN-GAME. You don't have to watch a YT video introducing it, and then spend a month learning it. It gives you simple explanations about what each block does, how to use it, special features about it, so you could install the mod, and then in just a day know how to use everything. Forgot how to use something? No problem! Just ponder it again. I completely agree with the title. Create IS the best ever Minecraft mod.

What I like about create is that it basically makes Minecraft one of the best factory building games. I like Factorio for it's freedom of how you build and I like satisfactory for the ability to build in 3D. And than there is create mod that allows you to build interesting contraptions i in whatever style you want in 3D and even more freedom, than Factorio and Satisfactory

honestly, i think one of the most important parts of the mod that you did not go into and should have is: PHYSICS, you telling me blocks are moving and arent simply going trough my body? im physically interacting with this block that is clearly at a f*cking angle??? you kidding me??? what kind of witch craft is this?! its in my opinion one of the most impressive parts of the mod: its "tech".

I can't wait for Create: Aeronautics, it looks amazing

Create is a revolutionary mod. Aeronautics is the second wave

Create feels like a Minecraft update from the future

Great video! Quick thing I’ll point out though, you can use a press to compress nuggets into ingots, you don’t need a mechanical crafter

Create is great because it allows you to well be creative with it. You can actually use it to be expressive artistic even to just well make things not just for reasources or progression you can actually mess around and make pretty or funny things without specific utilitarian purpose

It understands and ups the Minecraft's creative potential to maximum. While Minecraft lets you build anything in shape, Create lets you give it function in the same way, it feels vanilla. When Aeronautics and Offroad addons come out, it will truly let you to build anything, this way complementing vanilla experience. If someone made something as incredible as Create but for villagers and the enviroment, Minecraft would become the ultimate sandbox. Build a castle, a factory, go to war, build a ship, sail away. Do anything you'd ever want.

This video was really well done. I've been playing since 2012 on consoles and later made the switch to PC without ever playing much more than pixelmon when it comes to mods. This video has completely sold me and it makes me nostalgic for the golden age of tinker's construct. *subscribes in elder zoomer*

I few things that make Creat great: 1. It's like Redstone, as there are countless ways to build the same thing, and there are never really a one block solution. 2. It looks right. It perfectly fits into vanilla. Some mods are straight up ugly, or even terrifying. 3. It feels right. That I can put a block in a Minecart, blocks interacts with other blocks, piston can be longer. It feels like all would be in Vanilla Minecraft if the game was today..

When i first saw that mod on some smp, i thought to myself "wow, nice plugin" that's how it is perfectly fits in minecraft style

Create is the only mod I ever bothered to delve deep into, besides thaumcraft (way back). The mod looks and feels awesome. Even setting up a simple rotating farm was very rewarding for me. Redstone was just too intimidating and complicated for me to go beyond 2x2 doors and copying tutorials block for block. But in Create I felt like I actually had a shot. It took me a lot of projects and tutorials before I got the hang of it, but in time, I was building my own factories and figuring out my own way to compact and improve them. Thats when an idea struck me. I always like the idea of a flying machine, but in vanilla it was just too impractically slow to beat the elytra (or even a horse). But maybe in create, things could be different. I would build _the_ flying machine. The fastest, the most maneuverable, the awesome-est airship dreamed up by create maniacs. One that would be worth building in survival. Heh, had I known how much time I would sink into this beforehand, I might've given up on the spot. Thankfully I didn't, and this mod has been one of the most captivating gaming experiences I was lucky to stumble into.

About hermit craft, they do go to the End. Although mostly it is so people can start selling Elytra in the shopping district. I also remember that Grian made an entire game revolving around the Ender Dragon Egg on one of the Hermitcraft series.

Great video, really give Create the attention it deserves! Wont start a new modpack without Create now days.

Great video, this is high quality and insightful stuff!

What were the other mods used in this video, they made the game look awesome and beautiful. Would love to combine them with create

with the combination of other mods and more mods being added to create as addons will make this last as long as people play minecraft

Create reminds me of one of those complex marble contraptions

ty for crediting throughout the video

This video feels like a Documentary. Very very good video

i finally got one of your videos on my youtube homepage!

You honestly made me really interested in trying it.

I honestly think Create set off a new golden age of minecraft modding. Like i know modding has never gone away, but for years you had that all the old great packs like FTB were stuck in the previous golden era of v1.12, with mods stagnating in creativity ever since. Java Minecraft was seen as limited, too easy to break or cause performance to plummet like mad if you tried anything fancy beyond static blocks and maybe other planes of existence, but Create burst unto the scene and showed how far modding can go now! That the age of simple blocks is long past and the sky is the limit. Reinvigorating modders to keep pushing with new versions of MC and reviving old ideas.

I don't enjoy playing mods that are too complicated for minecraft, or just don't feel like minecraft at all. Create both works and feels like minecraft while also doing things that you didn't know were possible to even code im minecraft, and this is what makes it my #2 mod of all time

I want this so bad on 1.19.4 and I can’t wait till it gets updated

Love this video going to need to know that shader and the cool trees that are just sitting around the world 👀👀👀

I still remember when this mod was kinda new and you couldn’t find anything about it on KZfaq because there were always other videos which got recommended when you typed „Minecraft create (mod)“ into the searchbar

I was hooked on RL Craft which to me seems like the more RPG/Dungeon crawling adventure side of mine craft taken to a further extreme. Then I saw a video with someone using create and I had to check it out. It seems like the other side which is the building and block side of the game taken to a further extent. I used to build sorters and stuff and honestly it always seemed so limited all of the things you wanted to do but couldn't because of redstone limitations. This opens up that world and man I've been hooked for the last couple weeks now. It's so addicting.

Thanks for the video. It was great!
