JFF Create for Friends is a large Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge modpack built around Create, automation, technology, exploration and multiplayer.
The goal of the pack is simple: provide a huge sandbox where players can choose their own path without being forced into a single progression line.
Build massive Create factories, automate resources with Applied Energistics 2, expand into advanced technology with Mekanism, generate power with Powah, explore new dimensions, fight bosses, discover structures, experiment with magic or simply build a giant base together with friends.
The pack combines a large number of content mods while keeping Create as one of the central gameplay systems.
Create
Create is heavily expanded with addons for:
- trains
- factories
- electricity
- advanced machines
- logistics
- weapons
- decorative blocks
- space technology
- additional processing
- automation integrations
This means Create remains useful throughout a large part of the game instead of only being an early-game technology mod.
Automation & Technology
Create forms the mechanical foundation of the pack and is expanded by many Create addons.
You can build factories, trains, processing systems, logistics networks, automated farms, large production chains and complex contraptions.
Other major technology systems include:
- Applied Energistics 2
- Mekanism
- Powah
- Immersive Engineering
- Industrial Foregoing
- Refined Storage
- PneumaticCraft
- Draconic Evolution
- Extreme Reactors
- RFTools
- LaserIO
- Flux Networks
Storage & Automation
Applied Energistics 2 is intended to be one of the primary large-scale storage and autocrafting systems.
The pack also contains alternative storage solutions such as Refined Storage, Sophisticated Storage, Storage Drawers and various integration addons.
Space & Dimensions
Space exploration is available through Ad Astra and compatible addons.
The pack also contains additional dimensions and exploration content including:
- The Aether
- The Twilight Forest
- The Undergarden
- Ad Astra planets
- additional structures and world generation
Creating Space also expands the Create side of space technology.
Exploration
The world is heavily expanded with new structures, caves, mobs, bosses and biomes.
Mods such as YUNG's structure overhauls, Biomes O' Plenty, Alex's Mobs, Cataclysm, Naturalist and many others make exploration a major part of the pack.
Magic
Technology is not the only path.
The pack also includes several magic-oriented systems such as:
- Ars Nouveau
- Occultism
- Nature's Aura
- Forbidden & Arcanus
- Psi
- Apotheosis
These systems can be used independently or alongside the technology progression.
Farming & Food
Farmer's Delight and a large collection of compatible food addons add extensive farming, cooking and food production.
Large automated kitchens and food factories can therefore become their own production chains.
Multiplayer
The pack was originally designed to be played with friends on a dedicated server.
Multiplayer utilities include:
- FTB Teams
- FTB Chunks
- FTB Quests
- FTB Ultimine
- Waystones
- Xaero integrations
Players can build together, claim areas, automate shared infrastructure and explore independently.
Performance
The client includes several performance and rendering improvements.
Distant Horizons can be used for extremely long-distance terrain rendering, while Sodium and other optimization mods improve client performance.
A dedicated server is strongly recommended for larger multiplayer groups.
