Create: Configurable Machine Outputs - Now for Millstones, Presses and Crushing Wheels!
If you have spent any serious time building factories in Minecraft with the Create mod, you know the silent killer of efficiency: recipe conflicts. You set up a beautiful array of Crushing Wheels, feed it ores, and suddenly your system jams because another addon decided that the same input should produce a completely different output. The result is chaos, clogged belts, and a storage system full of items you never asked for. That frustration is exactly what Create: Configurable Machine Outputs - Now for Millstones, Presses and Crushing Wheels! was designed to eliminate. This addon hands the reins back to you, giving you surgical control over exactly which recipe your machines execute.
Why Recipe Conflicts Ruin Automation
Create is famous for its modular, physics-based automation. But its popularity has spawned hundreds of addons. Each addon might add its own recipe for, say, crushing a specific ingot or pressing a particular block. When multiple mods claim the same input, Create has to pick one, often randomly or based on load order. This unpredictability is a nightmare for players who rely on consistent throughput. One moment your Millstone is producing flour, the next it is spitting out a byproduct from a different mod that you have no use for.
The Core Solution: A Recipe Selection GUI
The heart of this mod is a simple, elegant interface. To access it, you simply hold a Wrench and perform a Ctrl + Right-click on any supported machine. This opens the Recipe Selection GUI. Instead of digging through config files or guessing, you see a clean list of all conflicting recipes for that specific machine. You pick the one you want, and the machine instantly adheres to your choice. It is that straightforward.
Supported Machines: The Big Three
This update expands support to the three most common processing blocks in the Create mod. The addon now covers:
- Crushing Wheels: The workhorses of ore processing and bulk reduction.
- Mechanical Press: Essential for compacting, stamping, and metal forming.
- Millstone: The early-game staple for grinding and pulverizing.
Each of these machines now has its own individual configuration. You can set a specific recipe for the Millstone in your bakery and a different recipe for the Millstone in your ore processing line. The settings are per-machine, not global, which offers incredible flexibility.
Features That Make Life Easier
Beyond the basic selection, the mod includes several quality-of-life features that make managing complex factories a breeze.
Desired Recipe Lookup and Visual Conflict Detection
If you have a lot of addons installed, the list of conflicting recipes can get long. The built-in search bar allows you to quickly filter for the specific item you are trying to produce. Additionally, the mod automatically highlights items that have multiple conflicting recipes. This visual conflict detection means you never have to guess which machines need your attention. You can see the problem areas at a glance.
World Persistence and Pair Detection
Your choices are not temporary. The mod features world persistence, meaning your selections are saved and remain active across game sessions. You do not have to reconfigure your machines every time you log in. Furthermore, the mod handles Crushing Wheel pairs intelligently. It recognizes that two wheels work together and ensures that your configuration applies to the whole pair, not just one half, preventing any weird desync issues.
