Create: Oscillation

Vibration as energy. Gases as a processing medium.

Create gives you rotation. Oscillation turns that rotation into frequency - and frequency into a new tier of processing: gases you can pipe, tank and carry, crystals that hold a tuning, rotation sent through open air, and a machine that shatters whole walls at once.

Every block has a Ponder scene: hover the item and press W.

Frequency

A Resonator takes a shaft from above and shakes whatever sits directly below it. How fast the shaft turns decides the band it produces:

Recipes name the band they need and only run in exactly that band. Water becomes mist at Low - and stays water at Mid or above, so a fast chamber keeps its inputs for the recipe you actually want. Goggles show the current band on every Resonator and chamber; JEI shows the band under each recipe.

Tuning Fork - a shaft relay you place between the drive shaft and a Resonator. Scroll it to a band and it hands rotation downward at exactly that band's speed. One fast shaft can feed a row of chambers, each at its own band.

Gases

Gases are real Create fluids: they flow through pipes, sit in tanks, appear in JEI, and can be carried in a Gas Canister (1000 mb, tinted by what's inside). They render as drifting vapour rather than liquid, and in a chamber they gather under the glass dome while liquids pool below.

• Resonance Chamber - a glass-domed basin driven by a Resonator. Right-click any side with an item to insert; pipe liquids in from the sides. Runs resonating recipes: water → Sonic Mist (Low), quartz + water → Quartz Vapour (Mid), raw ore + water → ore slurry (High), crystal growth… Pipes can only feed a chamber's inputs and draw its outputs, so a pump never steals what the recipe needs.
• Resonance Pump - a Mechanical Pump that only moves gases. Liquids stay put.
• Condenser - passive, resizable up to 3×3 wide. Gas in, liquid and solids out: mist → water, Quartz Vapour → water + quartz (and sometimes a Rough Quartz Crystal), metal vapour → concentrate. The first conversion is slow while it cools down; after that it stays cold and keeps up as long as it's fed. Solids drop into the inventory below or are pulled from the sides.
• Vent - voids any gas piped into it with a plume; refuses liquids.
• Vibrating Sieve - a mesh cage that sits under a Resonator. Gravel, sand, red sand and soul sand shake down into flint, nuggets and more; results land in the inventory below.

Crystals

Rough Quartz Crystals come from condensing Quartz Vapour. In a chamber they grow tier by tier, each step at its own band:

Crystals are ordinary stackable items. They tune the Resonance Emitter and Receiver, craft the Tuning Fork and the Cavitation Chamber, and fuel the Sonic Pulveriser.

Sonic Pulveriser

A Resonator turned sideways: shaft in the back, vibration out the front. Any rotation drives it, but it does nothing until it has a crystal - the crystal is both its fuel and its tier.

The nearest layer of blocks in front cracks together and shatters together; harder blocks take longer and cost more fuel. It never breaks blocks with inventories or machinery, and a Create filter on the side limits what it takes. Each crystal burns down like furnace fuel (512 → 4096 charge by tier) and leaves a Rough Quartz Crystal in the output slot; hoppers and funnels can keep it fed. Sneak + wrench ejects the fuel. Mount it on a piston, gantry or bearing and it works while the contraption moves, dropping into attached storage.

Resonance Emitter & Receiver

Put matching crystals in both, aim them at each other through open air, and rotation crosses the gap.

• The Emitter sits under a Resonator and beams along its facing for up to 16 blocks while the Resonator runs in the crystal's band.
• The Receiver with the same crystal, dish toward the emitter, becomes a kinetic source turning its back-side shaft at that band's speed. Capacity scales with the crystal: Low 32, Mid 128, High 512, Ultrasonic 2048 SU per RPM - enough to run an entire build across the gap.
• Anything solid in the way breaks the link within a few ticks. Crystals of different bands ignore each other, so several links can cross the same room.

Ore multiplication - 2.5 ingots per raw ore

1. Resonance Chamber, High band: raw ore + 250 mb water → ore slurry.
2. Cavitation Chamber, Ultrasonic: slurry + 250 mb mist → metal vapour. The Cavitation Chamber is a reinforced chamber (Resonance Chamber + brass casing + High-Tuned Crystal) that only runs cavitating recipes.
3. Condenser: vapour → water + 2 concentrate, with a 50% chance of a third.
4. Smelt or blast the concentrate into ingots.

Iron, gold, copper and zinc are built in, matched by c:raw_materials/* tags so other mods' ores of those metals work too. Slurry, vapour and concentrate are single items that carry their metal with them - each metal gets its own JEI entries, name and colour.

Adding a metal (pack makers)

With KubeJS (optional), one line in a server script adds the data-map entry and the whole recipe chain:

ServerEvents.generateData('after_mods', event => {
  Oscillation.addMetal(event, 'tin', 'somemod:raw_tin', 'somemod:tin_ingot', '#C8D0D8')
})

Leave out the ingot to skip the smelting/blasting recipes. The recipes land as kubejs:createoscillation/* and can be removed or edited in ServerEvents.recipes like any other. For a display name add ClientEvents.lang('en_us', e => e.add('createoscillation.metal.tin', 'Tin')) (it falls back to "Tin" from the id anyway).

The four recipe types also get typed builders:

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
  event.recipes.createoscillation.resonating([Fluid.of('createoscillation:sonic_mist', 500)], [Fluid.water(500)])
    .frequency('mid').processingTime(60)
  event.recipes.createoscillation.cavitating([Fluid.of('createoscillation:quartz_vapour', 250)], [Fluid.of('createoscillation:sonic_mist', 250), 'minecraft:quartz'])
    .frequency('ultrasonic')
  event.recipes.createoscillation.condensing(['minecraft:ice', Fluid.water(250)], [Fluid.of('createoscillation:sonic_mist', 250)])
  event.recipes.createoscillation.sifting([Oscillation.output('minecraft:bone_meal', 0.25), { id: 'minecraft:stick', chance: 0.5 }], ['minecraft:dirt'])
  event.remove({ type: 'createoscillation:resonating', output: 'createoscillation:quartz_vapour' })
})

Outputs come first, inputs second (Create's convention); frequency is low / mid / high / ultrasonic (default any). Chance outputs are Oscillation.output(item, chance) or { id, count, chance } objects.

With plain JSON, no code needed:

1. Map the raw ore in data/<ns>/data_maps/item/createoscillation/metals.json:

   { "values": { "somemod:raw_tin": { "metal": "tin", "colour": "#C8D0D8" } } }

1. Copy the iron recipes from data/createoscillation/recipe/ - resonating/slurry_iron, cavitating/vapour_iron, condensing/concentrate_iron, crafting/smelting/ingot_iron and blasting/ingot_iron - and replace iron with tin. Ingredients that must match a metal use neoforge:components with createoscillation:metal.
2. Optionally add lang createoscillation.metal.tin = Tin.
