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.
