Steam & Spark is a Create-centered modpack that blends Create with the utility of popular tech mods like Applied Energistics 2 and Thermal Dynamics.
This modpack is built on two guiding principles:
- Avoid overloading the experience with unrelated mods that distract from Create’s core purpose
- Avoid adding too little, where it ends up feeling like vanilla with gears. Because, this is a modpack :)
Steam & Spark strikes a balance.
This pack supports a long-term, SMP-style experience where Create remains the heart of your world, and everything else works with it—not around it.
🔧 Key Features
- Create as the Core
Everything revolves around the Create mod. Recipes for other mods will utilize create to craft. You will no longer be able to craft a 256k drive on a wooden crafting table.
- Tech Mods that Complement, Not Replace
Mods like Applied Energistics 2 and Thermal Dynamics are included to expand possibilities—not bypass Create. Use them to streamline, not skip.
- Balanced Mod Selection
No random clutter—every mod is chosen to enhance gameplay without overwhelming it. Still, you’ll find a few fun additions if you ever feel like building an unnecessarily large airship or tank, just because you can.
- SMP-Friendly Design
Tuned for long multiplayer sessions with friends. Stability is a core focus—worlds are configured to minimize tick lag, memory leaks, and late-game instability common in long-running SMP environments.
- Progressive Integration
Early game encourages full use of Create mechanics before expanding into more advanced automation tools.
- Aesthetic + Functional
Build systems that look good and work well with chisel and Create-based decor mods.
