Create: Kinetic Planner

A quality-of-life addon for the Create mod that automates routing of rotational power between machines.

What it does

Stop manually placing dozens of shafts and gearboxes. Hold your Create wrench, press K to activate Planner Mode, then:

  1. Right-click any Create machine → sets it as Point A

  2. Left-click another Create machine → computes the shortest path

  3. Scroll wheel → cycle between up to 3 path variants (cheapest, fewest turns, vertical-first)

  4. Sneak + Right-click → places the entire chain with a Create-style animation

  5. Right-click (no sneak) → cancel preview

Features

  • A* pathfinding with proper turn cost — prefers paths with fewer gearboxes

  • Machine input detection via Create's IRotate API — works correctly with every kinetic block

    • Mechanical Press, Mixer, Millstone, Drill, Saw, Encased Fan, Deployer, Bearing, RSC, Crushing Wheels, and more

    • Automatic basin redirect (clicks on basin → targets machine above)

  • Ghost-block preview — shows actual shaft/gearbox/cogwheel models semi-transparently in the world

  • HUD overlay with variant info, block count, turn count, stress estimate, and required item counts (green/red)

  • Sequential placement animation with sparks + cogwheel particles

  • Cog-from-side routing for Mechanical Mixer & Millstone (auto-places small cogwheel adjacent + shaft above)

  • Vertical descent enforcement for Mechanical Press (always arrives top-down)

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.20.1

  • Forge 47.4.10+

  • Create 6.0.8+ (mandatory)
