Riggyz's Patches
Few things ruin a long survival world faster than a bug that quietly eats your progress. Maybe a contraption duplicates items you worked hard to gather, or a massive train grinds your frame rate to a halt. Riggyz's Patches is a small Forge mod built to stamp out exactly these problems, keeping the survival experience smooth and fair. Originally created for the author's own modpacks, it has grown into a tidy collection of fixes that anyone running heavy tech mods will appreciate.
What Riggyz's Patches Actually Fixes
This is not a content mod. You will not find new blocks, mobs, or dimensions here. Instead, Riggyz's Patches targets specific, well-documented bugs that affect players who lean on automation, trains, and physics-driven builds. The focus is on the Create ecosystem and its many add-ons, plus a handful of compatibility issues with other popular mods.
The mod is maintained primarily for the author's modpacks, but updates occasionally extend to other bugfixes as they surface. That means the changelog is a living document, and the README on the project page is the best place to track every change.
Key Fixes Included
- Schematicannon no longer reads missing NBT data, closing an item duplication exploit involving placards and copycats.
- Large trains and contraptions no longer cause massive lag from slow collision shape calculations.
- The bound cardboard recipe has been corrected.
- Portable storage interfaces now connect reliably instead of dropping out intermittently.
- CC train station interfaces no longer crash the game.
- Gantries stop skipping or halting unexpectedly.
- Copycats now render as emissive, so they glow correctly.
- Xaero's worldmap scaling issues have been resolved.
- Valkyrien Skies 2 ship creation no longer duplicates block entities with NBT data.
Each of these fixes addresses a real pain point. The duplication bugs alone could undermine an entire server economy, while the collision and rendering fixes keep large builds playable on modest hardware.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
Riggyz's Patches is a Forge mod. It is designed for modern Minecraft versions where Create and its companion mods are actively maintained, and it slots neatly into existing modpacks without requiring config changes. Because the mod is lightweight and only patches behavior, it plays nicely alongside performance mods and other quality-of-life additions.
If you run a pack centered on Create, Valkyrien Skies 2, or Xaero's minimap, this mod is close to a mandatory install. It does not add overhead, and it removes the frustrating edge cases that make survival feel unfair.
How to Install Riggyz's Patches
Getting the mod running is straightforward. Follow these steps for a clean setup.
- Confirm you are running a compatible Forge version for your Minecraft release.
- Place the Riggyz's Patches jar file into your mods folder.
- Ensure Create and any related dependencies are already installed.
- Launch the game once to generate config files, then restart if needed.
- Check the README to verify which fixes apply to your version.
When you download Riggyz's Patches, always grab the build that matches your Minecraft version. Mixing versions is the most common cause of startup crashes, and it is entirely avoidable.
A Simpler Route Through the Foxygame.net Launcher
If manual file management feels tedious, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install path that handles Riggyz's Patches and its dependencies automatically, so you never have to hunt down matching Forge builds. The launcher's add-on catalog also keeps Riggyz's Patches updated in the background, which means new bugfixes arrive without you lifting a finger. For players who would rather build than troubleshoot, that convenience is hard to beat.
Why Survival Players Should Care
Bugfix mods rarely get the spotlight, but they quietly do the most important work in a modded world. A single duplication exploit can trivialize progression, and one laggy train can make a sprawling rail network unusable. Riggyz's Patches removes those headaches so you can focus on building, exploring, and expanding.
The mod is small, focused, and maintained with a clear purpose. It will not reinvent your game, but it will make the game you already love behave the way it should. If your modpack leans on Create, trains, or physics ships, adding Riggyz's Patches is one of the smartest, lowest-effort improvements you can make.
Download it, drop it in your mods folder, and get back to the parts of Minecraft that actually matter: surviving, creating, and enjoying the world you have built.
