Milestone Achievement
The Create mod Chinese development team announced 100 million total downloads (CurseForge + Modrinth combined). Create has become the second-largest Minecraft mod after JEI. Mojang featured Create on their official Twitter and Minecraft.net homepage, praising it as the most creative tech mod.
Create's Success Formula
Create's core philosophy is gear-driven automation — no traditional power systems, using rotational force, stress, and gear ratios. This visual, physics-based design makes automation intuitive even for redstone beginners. The Chinese team continuously adds Eastern aesthetics: windmill water wheels and water mills with unique visual designs.
Impact on MC Modding
Create proved a mod can be self-contained without RF/FE energy frameworks, inspiring a new generation of mod design. ~50 addon mods exist (Create: Crafts & Additions, Create: Steam Powered), forming a complete ecosystem like Tinkers. Chinese mod developers' influence in the global MC community continues to grow.
