Description

Create: Computing Ages

Relive the history of computing with Create. Start with the gears of Pascal's calculator (1642) and work your way up to multi-core processors etched with EUV light. Everything is made on Create production lines, and each age unlocks a new programmable computer.

/!\ Important

To start coding program I really advise you to check our documentation, in english or in french.

Seven Ages

Age Precision machine Highlights
I. Mechanical none precision gears, punch cards, Jacquard Card Reader
II. Electromechanical Coil Winder relays, traffic lights
III. Vacuum Tube Vacuum Chamber triodes, core memory, Tube Computer
IV. Transistor Crystal Puller silicon wafers, Transistor Mainframe, CRT Monitor
V. Integrated Circuit Photolithography Machine photomasks, Minicomputer, Data Cable
VI. Microprocessor Ion Implanter floppy disks, Personal Computer, Microcontroller, Radio Modem
VII. Digital Pick-and-Place Machine multi-core SoC, SSD, Modern Computer, LCD Monitor, Wi-Fi Router

You can't skip an age: each precision machine is built around the computer from the age before.

Features

  • Precision machines that work as steps in Create's sequenced assembly, next to presses, deployers and spouts.
  • A realistic silicon chain: reduce quartz to silicon, grow a crystal, saw it into wafers, then expose, develop, etch and dope them layer by layer. The photomask you load decides which chip comes out.
  • Six programmable computers, from a tube computer that prints on paper at 400 instructions per second to a modern computer with a 16-color screen running 100,000. They run on rotation, like any Create machine.
  • Brass, a Lua-like language with a built-in editor, a shell, ready-to-run examples and a pixel graphics library.
  • World control: redstone, Create Redstone Links and Display Links, inventories, tanks, speed controllers, traffic lights.
  • Networking: data cables, radio modems, and Wi-Fi routers that link up into a world-spanning network when they share an SSID.
  • Multiblock monitors up to 8x6, with clickable buttons.
  • Server-friendly: each computer has an instruction budget per tick, so no program can lag the server.

Getting Started

Every machine and computer has a Ponder scene, JEI shows every recipe (including precision machine steps), and an advancement tab with a historical note at each step guides you through the ages. Available in English and French.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1.200 or newer
  • Create 6.0.10
  • Optional: JEI, Create Aeronautics (computers on board read the vehicle's position and speed, and its sensors become peripherals)
