Create: Better Utils

A Create addon that adds utility blocks, inverted logistics components, and diving helmet upgrades.

Overview

Create: Better Utils extends Create with kinetic lighting, redstone-inverted logistics machines, and night-vision diving helmets that work with Create's backtank system. Several quality-of-life improvements are also included for Create's packagers.

Blocks & Items

Mega Light

A kinetic lamp powered by rotation from below.

• Brightness and radius scale with RPM — faster spin means a brighter, wider light area
• Hostile mob clearing — monsters inside the light radius are destroyed periodically
• Spawn protection — hostile mobs cannot spawn inside an active Mega Light's radius
• Engineer's Goggles show stress, RPM, and the current light radius in blocks

Double Sided Display Board

A Display board that displays on both sides

Inverted Packager

A Packager with inverted redstone behaviour.

Useful when you want packaging to run by default and pause on a redstone signal.

Inverted Re-Packager

Same inverted redstone logic as the Inverted Packager, but based on Create's Re-Packager.

Inverted Clutch

A Clutch with inverted redstone behaviour.

The block texture updates to match its state (engaged vs disengaged).

Copper Diving Night Vision Helmet

A Create Copper Diving Helmet upgraded with night vision.

• Grants Night Vision while worn with a Backtank that has pressurized air
• Consumes a small amount of air over time while active
• Shows a backtank air overlay next to the breath bar when the effect is active
• Retains normal diving helmet behaviour underwater

Netherite Diving Night Vision Helmet

The netherite tier of the diving night vision helmet.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

Nametag Packager Addresses

All Create Packagers and Re-Packagers (including vanilla Create ones) can be assigned a logistics address with a named nametag:

• Right-click the machine with a renamed nametag to set its destination address
• Use an empty nametag to clear the address
• Engineer's Goggles show when an address was set via nametag

Nametag Editor

A custom nametag editing screen is available so you can rename nametags for packager addressing without needing an anvil.
