Create: Enlightend
If you have ever wished that the beautiful new ores from the Enlightend dimension could flow through the mechanical heart of the Create mod, then your wait is over. Create: Enlightend is a dedicated compatibility add-on that bridges these two fantastic worlds, transforming raw Enlightend materials into something you can process with your own custom-built contraptions. This is not just a simple recipe patch; it is a full integration that respects the logic of both mods, offering you new crushed variants and a complete processing chain for every ore found in the Enlightend dimension.
What Does This Add-On Bring to Your Factory?
The core of this add-on is its new crushed items. You will now be able to produce Crushed Raw Bismuth and Crushed Raw Irradium using your Create machinery. But the fun does not stop there. The mod also introduces complete processing methods for Malachite, Bismuth, Irradium, and even Adamantite Nodes. This means that every ore you bring back from the Enlightend dimension can be doubled, or even tripled, using the standard Create progression of crushing, washing, and smelting.
For players who love efficiency, this is a game-changer. Instead of simply smelting your ores in a furnace, you can now set up a fully automated processing line. The add-on is designed to work seamlessly with your existing Create setup, so you do not need to learn any new mechanics. You just need to feed the ores into your machines and watch the byproducts roll out.
Detailed Recipe Breakdown
Understanding the new recipes is key to maximizing your output. Here is a look at what you can expect from the crushing and smelting processes introduced by Create: Enlightend.
Crushing Recipes
Using a Create Crusher, you can process the raw ores from Enlightend. The results are generous and often include bonus byproducts.
- Crushing Malachite Ore: Produces x2 Malachite, with a 25% chance for an extra Malachite, a 75% chance for a Create Experience Nugget, and a 12.5% chance for End Stone.
- Crushing Bismuth Ore: Produces x2 Crushed Raw Bismuth, with a 25% chance for an extra Crushed Raw Bismuth, a 75% chance for a Create Experience Nugget, and a 12.5% chance for End Stone.
- Crushing Irradium Ore: Produces x2 Crushed Raw Irradium, with a 25% chance for an extra Crushed Raw Irradium, a 75% chance for a Create Experience Nugget, and a 12.5% chance for End Stone.
- Crushing Adamantite Node: Produces x7 Adamantite Nugget, with a 75% chance for an extra Adamantite Nugget and a 75% chance for a Create Experience Nugget.
Smelting and Blasting
Once you have your crushed raw materials, you need to turn them into usable ingots. The add-on provides both standard smelting and fast blasting options.
- Smelting Crushed Raw Bismuth: Yields 1 Bismuth Ingot in 200 ticks, granting 1.0 Experience.
- Smelting Crushed Raw Irradium: Yields 1 Irradium Bar in 200 ticks, granting 1.0 Experience.
- Blasting Crushed Raw Bismuth: Yields 1 Bismuth Ingot in 100 ticks, granting 1.0 Experience.
- Blasting Crushed Raw Irradium: Yields 1 Irradium Bar in 100 ticks, granting 1.0 Experience.
These recipes allow you to choose between a slower, fuel-efficient process or a faster, more resource-intensive one, giving you full control over your factory's throughput.
Compatibility and Requirements
Before you rush off to download Create: Enlightend, you need to ensure your game is set up correctly. This add-on is not a standalone mod. It requires both the Create mod and the Enlightend mod to be installed. The add-on simply acts as a bridge, so without the base mods, it will not function. The mod is primarily available for the Forge loader, and it supports recent versions of Minecraft, specifically those that are compatible with the latest Create and Enlightend builds. You should always check the specific mod pages for the exact Minecraft version supported, but you can generally expect it to work on the current stable releases.
While not strictly required, installing JEI (Just Enough Items) is highly recommended. JEI will allow you to view all the new recipes in-game, making it much easier to plan your processing lines and understand the byproduct chances without needing to alt-tab to a wiki.
How to Install and Start Processing
Getting started is straightforward. The standard method is to simply download the mod's .jar file and place it into your mods folder. However, if you are using a third-party launcher, the process might be even simpler. For instance, if you are using the foxygame.net launcher, you can browse the built-in add-on catalog and find Create: Enlightend listed there. The launcher handles the version compatibility checks for you, ensuring that the add-on is matched correctly with your installed Create and Enlightend versions, and it offers a one-click install that places the file in the right directory without any manual file management. This is a great way to avoid common installation errors, especially if you are managing a large modpack. The launcher also makes it easy to keep the add-on updated, so you always have the latest recipes and fixes.
For the traditional route, here is the step-by-step guide on how to install the mod manually:
- Download the Create: Enlightend .jar file from a trusted source like CurseForge or Modrinth.
- Navigate to your Minecraft installation directory.
- Open the mods folder. If it does not exist, create it.
- Drag and drop the downloaded .jar file into the mods folder.
- Launch Minecraft with the Forge profile.
Once the game loads, you should see the mod listed in your mods menu. If you have JEI installed, you can immediately look up the recipes for Malachite, Bismuth, and Irradium to see your new processing options in action.
Why This Add-On is a Must-Have
If you are a fan of both Create and Enlightend, this add-on is essential. It removes the annoying disconnect between the two mods, allowing you to treat Enlightend ores with the same respect and automation you give to vanilla ores. The addition of Experience Nuggets as a byproduct is a nice touch, giving you a passive way to generate Create experience for your tools and machines. The balanced byproduct chances also mean that setting up a large-scale processing operation is always rewarding, without being overpowered.
The mod is also completely open for you to include in any public or private modpack. The permissions are clear, and the author encourages sharing, so you can freely add this to your server or your personal collection. This openness, combined with the solid recipe design, makes Create: Enlightend for Minecraft a polished and valuable addition to any modded playthrough.
In conclusion, Create: Enlightend is a well-crafted compatibility mod that does exactly what it promises. It brings the unique ores of the Enlightend dimension into the mechanical fold of Create, offering a satisfying and efficient processing experience. Whether you are a technical player looking to optimize your ore processing or just a builder who wants a new challenge, this add-on is well worth your time.
