Create: Networking

Create: Networking is an unofficial Create addon for building controlled kinetic power networks and configurable multiplayer banking infrastructure.

It expands Create with network protection, provider/customer contracts, diagnostic tools, ATMs, secure bank cards, physical currency and connected economic displays. The goal is to support anything from a small workshop or private bank to much larger server-wide mechanical and economic networks.

Kinetic Network Infrastructure

Network Limiter

Control how much kinetic Stress Unit capacity can pass between two sides of a network. Limiters can define clear input and output directions, reserve capacity for connected systems and react to overloads or invalid network layouts.

Contract Anchor

Create monitored provider/customer connections for kinetic power delivery. Contract Anchors provide visual status feedback and help represent reserved supply agreements between separate parts of a network.

Compact Fuse

Protect individual machine branches with a compact local failsafe. Compact Fuses use integrated fuse elements and can isolate smaller sections before a problem affects the wider network.

Fuse Tiers

Use Zinc, Copper and Brass fuse variants with different protection characteristics.

Limiter Controller

Configure and interact with Network Limiters, including input/output direction and remaining-capacity information.

Network Connector

Connect compatible networking blocks and establish the appropriate relationship between them. The connector is used across the mechanical network systems rather than being limited to a single block type.

Economics Update Part I: Banking Infrastructure

ATM

Build functional in-world ATMs for:

Opening and accessing accounts
Depositing physical currency
Withdrawing available funds
Transferring money between accounts
Issuing and replacing bank cards
Viewing balances and transaction feedback

ATM owners can configure visual branding, including logos, wordmarks, backgrounds and physical screen imagery.

Economic Controller

The Economic Controller is the central management block for a banking network. It manages accounts, balances, physical cash reserves, connected ATMs, economic devices and display outputs.

Its interface includes:

Dashboard
Screens
Devices
Diagnostics

Controllers are owner-protected, while server administrators retain management access.

Secure Bank Cards

Craft blank cards in several visual variants and issue them through a connected ATM.

Issued cards are bound to their owner and bank network. Replacement cards invalidate older issues, and copied or stale cards are rejected by the server.

Economic Link

Select and connect multiple Create Display Board screens to an Economic Controller.

Connected screens can receive stable IDs, custom names and different output modes, including:

Bank Status
Cash Reserve
Device Status
Screen Label

The controller can temporarily identify screens with labels such as SCREEN 01 and diagnose missing links, changed display structures, missing power and controller conflicts.

Physical Currency

The update includes Network Credit notes and metal coins for physical deposits, withdrawals and server-controlled circulation.

Currency is intentionally not normally craftable, allowing banks and server operators to control issuance and reserves.

Create Integration

Display Board Support

Show mechanical network information, banking status, reserve information and diagnostics on Create Display Boards.

Ponder Scenes

Learn the main networking mechanics directly in-game through Create-style Ponder scenes.

Physical Logistics

The economics systems are designed around physical Create infrastructure. Currency, reserves and future market inventories can be transported and stored using belts, depots, vaults and trains.

Copper Grid

Includes the original instrumental music disc Copper Grid.

Beta Status

Create: Networking is currently in public beta.

The core networking systems, contracts, protection blocks, ATM banking, secure cards, Economic Controller, Economic Links, recipes, visuals and display integration are implemented and playable. Balancing, interfaces and internal economic formats may still change before version 0.2.0.

Back up important worlds before updating, especially on multiplayer servers.

Roadmap

Planned development includes:

Vault-linked commodity inventories
Configurable exchange rates and market prices
Buy and sell spreads
Price history and market movement
Colored market displays and adaptive layouts
Trade terminals
Economic Controller backbone networks
Optional local, regional and global markets
Modular Diagnostics Screen
Better mechanical network visualization
More detailed bypass and loop detection
Improved contract diagnostics
Additional Display Board modes
Further balancing, recipes and visual polish

Requirements

Minecraft 1.21.1
NeoForge
Create 6.0.x

Create: Networking is an unofficial addon and requires Create.

Feedback

Bug reports, suggestions, balancing feedback and multiplayer testing reports are very welcome.
