CreateKinetic / mechanical contraptions — gears, belts, water wheels, contraptions
About
Steampunk-aesthetic kinetic-tech mod. Build mechanical factories with rotating shafts, belts, gears, water wheels, windmills, and contraptions you can pick up and move (drills, harvesters, moving platforms). The "rotating-shaft physics" approach makes Create feel completely different from energy-based mods like Mekanism. ATM10 ships Create 6 (the major rewrite for 1.21).
