Create Fly: Diesel Generators
If you have ever wanted to drill for oil, refine it into fuel, and power a sprawling factory with roaring diesel engines, then Create Fly: Diesel Generators is the add-on you have been waiting for. This is an unofficial port of Create: Diesel Generators by George_V, and all credit for the original mod goes to its authors. It brings a full industrial chain of oil extraction, chemical processing, and heavy machinery into your Minecraft world, and it fits naturally alongside the Create Fly ecosystem.
What This Add-On Brings to Your World
Create Fly: Diesel Generators for Minecraft expands the tech tree far beyond simple rotation and crafting. It introduces crude oil deposits hidden beneath the surface, the machinery to pull that oil up, and the refineries needed to turn it into something useful. From there, you can build engines that generate rotational force, sprayers that coat the world in fluids, and a whole catalogue of tools and building blocks that make your factory feel genuinely industrial.
Oil Prospecting and Extraction
Every great oil operation starts with finding the goods. Some chunks contain a Crude Oil deposit, and your first job is to track one down. The Oil Scanner is your prospecting tool: right-click it to check whether the chunk you are standing in holds Crude Oil. Once you have located a deposit, you build a Pumpjack over it using a Bearing, Head, Crank, and Hole. From there, you run a pipe all the way down to bedrock and let the pump do the heavy lifting.
Refining and Processing
Raw crude is only the beginning. To turn it into usable fuel and materials, you will need a proper processing setup:
- Distillation Controller: Applied to a fluid tank at least three blocks tall to form a Distillation Tower.
- Distillation Tank: The structural tank the tower is built from.
- Burner: Provides heat to a Basin by burning a flammable liquid.
- Basin Lid: Turns a Basin into a processing station for fluids and items.
- Bulk Fermenter: A multiblock that ferments items.
Together, these blocks let you refine crude oil into the fuels that keep your factory running.
Diesel Engines and Power
Engines are the heart of this add-on. They run on fuel to generate rotational force, giving you a compact power source that scales with your operation. You can silence an engine with an Engine Silencer if the noise gets overwhelming, or fit an Engine Turbocharger to make it run faster. This is where the add-on really shines, turning refined fuel into the kinetic energy that drives every machine you build.
Sprayers, Turrets, and Tools
Beyond engines, the add-on adds a range of utility blocks and items. The Chemical Sprayer can be filled with any fluid using a spout. The Chemical Turret needs a fluid, a cogwheel, and a redstone signal, and can be upgraded with a Lighter. The Entity Filter matches entities against a set of attributes, while the Lighter itself is filled with liquid fuel via a spout. On the tool side, the Hammer presses or destroys the item in your offhand, and the Wire Cutters cut the item you are holding. Molds for bars, bowls, chains, and wavy shapes enable casting and compression molding in a Basin. The Canister stores fluids and keeps its contents when picked up, and the Oil Barrel offers fluid storage that can be placed upright or on its side.
Building Blocks and Storage
Industry deserves proper architecture. Cement comes in sixteen colours, and Concrete Encased Fluid Pipe matches that palette. Asphalt is available as a block, slab, and stairs, while Chip Wood offers blocks, slabs, stairs, and beams, with wood chips doubling as furnace fuel. Sheet Metal Panels provide decorative detailing, and Andesite Girders, including a version with a shaft running through it, let you build sturdy industrial frames. The Track Layer's Bag stores large amounts of track for your rail networks.
How to Install and Version Support
Installing Create Fly: Diesel Generators is straightforward. It is built for Fabric, and the original requirements call for Fabric 0.19.3 or newer alongside Create Fly 6.0.9-1 or newer. If you want JEI support, install Create Fly: Recipe Viewer on both the server and the client. To download Create Fly: Diesel Generators, grab the correct file for your Minecraft version and loader, then drop it into your mods folder. For players who prefer a smoother route, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process with one-click install, pulling Create Fly: Diesel Generators straight from its curated add-on catalogue without any manual file juggling.
Here is the general process for how to install it manually:
- Confirm your Minecraft version and that Fabric is installed.
- Install the matching Create Fly version as a dependency.
- Place the add-on jar in your mods folder.
- Add Create Fly: Recipe Viewer if you want JEI integration.
- Launch the game and check that the blocks appear in creative or JEI.
One thing to note: there is no in-game config screen, so any tweaks must be made through the config folder.
Final Thoughts
Create Fly: Diesel Generators is a rich, layered add-on that rewards players who enjoy planning and logistics. From prospecting your first oil chunk to watching a turbocharged engine spin up, every step feels earned. Most blocks even include an in-game Ponder scene, so you can learn as you build. If you are ready to bring heavy industry to your Minecraft world, this add-on is well worth the install.
