Createblock compainion

# Createblock

**A Create-powered content mod: a new metal line, tiered storage, custom tools, and a molten fluid, all integrated with Create's machines.**

Createblock adds a complete custom resource progression designed to run through Create rather than alongside it. Ore doesn't smelt directly into ingots. You crush, wash, press, mix, and assemble it, using Create's machinery at each step.

> **Create is a soft dependency.** Createblock works well on its own; all Create integration is optional and only activates when Create is installed.

## What It Adds

### The Createblock Metal Line
A full resource chain: raw ore, dust, ingots, nuggets, plates, gems, and a higher-tier **alloy**. Ore blocks, both stone and deepslate variants, drop with Fortune support and Silk Touch.

### Machine Blocks
Decorative-industrial blocks — **Generator**, **Processor**, and **Infuser** — built using Create's Sequenced Assembly and Mechanical Crafting. It also includes a **Casing** and a blast-resistant **Reinforced Block**.

### Molten Createblock
A custom fluid with animated textures, lava-like physics, its own bucket, and Create spout/mixer integration. Melt metal and cast it back.

### Tools
Createblock-tier sword, pickaxe, and axe, plus the **Paxel**, which combines pickaxe, axe, and shovel into one tool, above netherite in tier. It strips logs, scrapes copper, makes paths, and hits hard. It's the most challenging item to craft in the mod.

### Tiered Storage Crates
Seven storage tiers, each doubling the last: Wood, Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite, and **Createblock** (9 to 576 unique slots). Bigger tiers use a scrolling GUI, and **stack upgrades** enhance how much each slot can hold.

### Food
Energy bars, a hearty sandwich, stew, a berry crop, and a glowing golden snack for buffs.

## Create Integration

When Create is installed, Createblock integrates with nearly every processing type Create offers: crushing, milling, pressing, mixing, compacting, deploying, filling, emptying, splashing, haunting, smoking, blasting, polishing with sandpaper, item application, sequenced assembly, and mechanical crafting.

Without Create, everything still follows a standard crafting or smelting path; nothing is locked away.

## Designed to Be Earned

Recipes are intentionally challenging. Direct ore-to-ingot smelting is removed; ore doubling is a bonus, not a guarantee, and endgame gear requires a real factory for production. If you enjoy automating your way to powerful rewards, this mod is designed for that experience.
