Create Minimalism

What is Create Minimalism?

I initially created this pack to play with some friends with just vanilla, JEI, and the Create mod. Over time I added some quality of life improvement mods for features I was missing, like JourneyMap, The One Probe, and more. The result is this pack that only includes Create as the “main” content mod and some other mods commonly present in most modpacks to make the experience a bit easier and smoother.

Why does this modpack exist?

When the Create mod is packed into larger packs, most of its stuff is outperformed by other mods with easier machines, that are just a single block. Create doesn’t become a part of your progression, but just a utility for building moving structures. This takes away from the beautifully detailed worlds you’ll build to progress with just the Create mod. Not even speaking of the awesome mining machinery you’ll build. So I created this pack to allow you to play with just the Create mod without missing out on the basic comfort most modpacks provide.

That being said you can of course also use this pack as a basis for your own custom packs. Its minimal nature allows you to build your experience on top of a solid base without any clutter. This pack is published under the MIT License, so modify and publish away.

What’s in the pack?

The following mods are included in this pack:

• Create: Since you found this pack you probably know what Create is. If not, check it out!

If you are looking for a resource pack recommendation I will recommend wedge1453’s Create Style Vanilla Redstone + Tom’s Simple Storage. It makes the vanilla redstone parts blend well with Create’s style.
