Create Stuff 'N Additions

Overview

Create Stuff 'N Additions takes the materials you already produce in Create and turns them into a complete progression of tools, armor, and powered equipment. If you have been mass-producing Brass Ingots and Copper Ingots with nothing to spend them on, this mod gives those resources a real purpose. You get five tiers of tools ranging from basic Copper up to the powerful Blazing and Shadow Steel sets, each with unique special effects like auto-smelting and experience generation.

Beyond tools, the mod introduces powered armor pieces that consume fuel to grant you abilities like flight, super speed, enhanced mining, and extra strength. There are also gadgets like the Blaze Flame Thrower for combat and the Nozzle Fan for pushing entities around, plus the Brass Moped, a rideable vehicle. Several decorative blocks round out the package, including the Nixie Lamp, Brass Globe, and Refined Radiance Neon. You can browse every item and recipe this mod adds using the tabs at the top of this page.

Prerequisites

This is an addon for the Create mod, so you need Create installed and running. Before you can access the mid-tier and late-tier content, you will need a Mixer for Blazing tools, Mechanical Crafters for Rose Quartz tools, Exoskeletons, Jetpacks, and the Brass Moped. Make sure you have a reliable supply of Brass Ingots (crafted from Copper and Zinc in a Mixer), plenty of Zinc Ingots, and access to Precision Mechanisms, Cogwheels, and Brass Casings. Having a Furnace Engine is required for the Moped.

Early Game: Basic Metal Tools & Armor

Copper Tools & Armor

Copper tools are the weakest tier in this mod, with 131 durability and 5.0 mining speed at harvest level 2 (Iron-tier). They have 3.0 base attack damage and 11 enchantability. While they will not last long, they give you something useful to do with Copper Ingots early on. The Copper armor set provides 15 total armor points (2/5/6/2 for helmet/chest/legs/boots) with 1.0 toughness, putting it slightly above Iron in protective capability.

Zinc Tools & Armor

Zinc tools have better durability at 250 uses but a slower mining speed of 4.0. They deal only 2.0 base attack damage but have 14 enchantability, making them excellent for enchanting. Zinc armor provides the same 15 armor points as Copper (2/5/6/2) but with no toughness and no knockback resistance. The main advantage of Zinc gear is its higher enchantability and durability compared to Copper.

Mid Game: Brass Tier & Special Helmets

Brass Tools & Armor

Brass represents a significant upgrade. Brass tools have 450 durability, 8.0 mining speed, harvest level 3 (Diamond-tier), and 14 enchantability. They are crafted on a regular Crafting Table using Brass Ingots and Sticks in standard patterns. Brass armor is the best standard armor set in the mod, with 19 total armor points (3/6/7/3), 1.0 toughness, and 0.1 knockback resistance. The durability multiplier is 32, matching the Exoskeleton and Jetpack tiers.

Andesite Helmet

The Andesite Helmet is a special helmet crafted from Andesite Alloy and a Redstone Link. When worn, it detects nearby Creepers and highlights them with a glowing effect, giving you advance warning before they can sneak up on you. It provides only 2 armor points for the head slot with no toughness, so it is a utility item rather than a defensive one.

Sticky Helmet

The Sticky Helmet is crafted from Andesite Alloy, Slime Ball, and Cobblestone. Wearing it lets you stick to ceilings and walk along them. It has very low durability (multiplier of 5) and provides 2 armor points, but the ceiling-walking ability is unique and situationally very powerful for exploring caves and building in tight spaces.

Detector Brass Helmet

The Detector Brass Helmet combines a Brass Helmet with a Redstone Link, or can be crafted directly from Brass Ingots and a Redstone Link. It retains the Brass armor stats while adding entity detection capabilities.

Late Game: Advanced Tool Sets

Blazing Tools

Blazing tools are crafted in a Mixer by combining Gold tools with Powdered Obsidian. They have 450 durability, an impressive 12.0 mining speed, and harvest level 3. Their special ability is auto-smelting: mining Stone drops Smooth Stone, mining Logs drops Charcoal, and mining Granite drops the smelted variant. Hitting mobs with Blazing tools sets them on fire. With 2.5 base attack damage, they are not the hardest hitters, but the auto-smelt effect saves enormous amounts of fuel over time.

Rose Quartz (Gilded Quartz) Tools

Rose Quartz tools require Mechanical Crafters and use Polished Rose Quartz, Iron Plates, Gold Ingots, and Zinc Handles. They boast 1644 durability and 9.0 mining speed at harvest level 3. Their 2.0 base attack damage is relatively low, but they make up for it with outstanding durability. These are excellent for long mining sessions where you do not want to return for repairs.

Shadow Steel Tools

Shadow Steel tools are the endgame tier. With 2303 durability, 16.0 mining speed, and 5.0 base attack damage, they outperform every other tool in this mod. Their harvest level is only 2 (Iron-tier), so they cannot mine Obsidian, but their incredible speed and durability more than compensate for most tasks. They also grant experience when breaking blocks, which is a unique bonus. Shadow Steel tools have only 2 enchantability and cannot be repaired normally, so treat them as expendable endgame equipment. They are crafted from Shadow Steel and Zinc Handles.

Powered Equipment

The powered equipment system is the signature feature of Create Stuff 'N Additions. These are armor pieces that consume fuel to grant you powerful effects. All powered equipment stores fuel as an internal NBT tag. To refuel, hold the equipment in your offhand, place your fuel (Coal, Wood, Blaze Rods, etc.) in your main hand, and press Q to drop it. The fuel is consumed and the equipment's fuel counter increases.

Exoskeleton Chest Plate (Brass)

The Exoskeleton is a powered chestplate that grants Haste and Strength effects while worn. It provides 7 armor points in the chest slot with 1.0 toughness and 0.1 knockback resistance. The fuel consumption rate is 1 per tick of use. This is your go-to for mining and combat, giving you faster block breaking and harder hits simultaneously. Requires Mechanical Crafting with Brass Plates, Brass Casings, Precision Mechanisms, Cogwheels, and a Large Cogwheel.

Copper Exoskeleton Chest Plate

A variant that grants Strength II and Mining Fatigue while worn. The trade-off is interesting: you hit much harder but mine more slowly. It shares the same armor stats as the Brass Exoskeleton (7 chest armor, 1.0 toughness). Best used for combat situations where mining speed does not matter.

Refined Radiance Exoskeleton Chest Plate

The Refined Radiance variant grants Haste II and Weakness. This is a pure mining chestplate, boosting your mining speed significantly at the cost of reduced melee damage. Ideal for extended mining sessions paired with a fast tool like the Shadow Steel Pickaxe.

Encased Jet Chest Plate

The Encased Jet is the flight chestplate. When worn and fueled, it allows you to fly freely. It provides only 4 armor points in the chest slot but has 2.0 toughness, the highest of any powered armor piece. The fuel consumption rate is 5 per tick, making it the most fuel-hungry equipment in the mod. Keep a large supply of fuel ready when flying. It is crafted with Encased Fans, Brass Casings, Brass Plates, Cogwheels, and a Precision Mechanism.

Accelerator Leggings

The Accelerator Leggings occupy the legs slot and grant Speed II and Jump Boost II, making you extremely fast and able to leap great distances. They provide 6 armor points with 1.0 toughness and 0.1 knockback resistance. Available in Brass, Copper, and Andesite variants, all with a fuel consumption rate of 1. These pair well with any chestplate, letting you run and jump at superhuman speeds.

Gadgets & Weapons

Brass Portable Drill

The Brass Portable Drill is a handheld multi-tool with an incredible 30.0 mining speed, the fastest mining tool in the mod by a wide margin. It has harvest level 2 (Iron-tier), 4.0 attack damage in melee, and consumes fuel to operate. Unlike regular tools, it cannot be enchanted. The drill is built with Mechanical Crafters using a Brass Pickaxe, Brass Sheets, Andesite Alloy, and a Brass Casing. When fuel runs out, the drill stops working, so keep your supply topped up.

Blaze Flame Thrower

The Blaze Flame Thrower is a ranged weapon that shoots fire projectiles. It has 450 durability and uses Coal as ammunition, consuming one Coal per burst. The projectiles set fire to blocks and mobs on impact, and the weapon produces the Blaze shoot sound effect when fired. Hold right-click to continuously fire, similar to a bow but without needing to charge. It is crafted via Mechanical Crafters using Iron Sheets, Iron Ingots, and a Blaze Burner.

Nozzle Fan

The Nozzle Fan is a handheld gadget that pushes entities in all directions when held in your main hand. It is a utility item with a stack size of 1 and no durability. Useful for pushing mobs off cliffs, deflecting arrows, or creating space during combat. Crafted from Cogwheels and Encased Fans on a Crafting Table.

Brass Moped

The Brass Moped is a rideable vehicle entity. Right-click the Brass Moped Item on a block to place it in the world, then right-click the Moped to mount it. It moves at 0.2 base movement speed and has 5 health points. The Moped is immune to most environmental damage sources including drowning, falling, lightning, fire, and Wither effects, but it drops itself as an item when destroyed.

The Tuned Brass Moped is an upgraded version crafted via a Smithing Table. It doubles the movement speed to 0.4 while keeping the same 5 health and damage immunities. Both versions require Mechanical Crafting for the base Moped item, using Brass Plates, Brass Casings, Precision Mechanisms, Shafts, a Furnace Engine, and Belt Connectors.

Decorative Blocks

Nixie Lamp

The Nixie Lamp is a decorative light source with light level 15 (maximum brightness). It is directional, waterloggable, and crafted from a Brass Ingot, an Electron Tube, and a Brass Casing. Useful as a compact lighting solution with a mechanical aesthetic.

Refined Radiance Neon

The Refined Radiance Neon is a thin, glowing tube that emits light level 15. It can be placed along any axis (X, Y, or Z) and is waterloggable. Three Refined Radiance in a row produces 4 Neon blocks. These look excellent as accent lighting in factory builds and along walkways.

Brass Globe & Chocolate Fountain

The Brass Globe is a purely decorative directional block crafted from a Brass Ingot, a Compass, and a Brass Casing. The Chocolate Fountain is an interactive decorative block crafted from a Chocolate Bucket, Fluid Pipe, and Item Drain. Right-clicking it triggers an interaction. Both blocks are destroyed when pushed by Pistons.

Quartz Crusher

The Quartz Crusher is a functional block that damages entities walking over it, emitting light level 4. It is crafted from two Crushing Wheels and a Refined Radiance Casing. Useful as a passive mob farm component or a defensive floor trap.

Configuration

The mod generates a configuration file at config/create_stuff_additions/fuel.json on first launch. This file controls fuel consumption rates for all powered equipment. The default values are: Exoskeleton = 1, Encased Jet = 5, Accelerator = 1, Portable Drill = 1. Lower values mean slower fuel consumption. If you find the Jetpack too expensive to run, reducing its value from 5 to 2 or 3 makes it much more practical for everyday use.
