EcoCreate Modpack

A Minecraft modpack focused on industrial automation, logistics infrastructure, and military production. Build factories, establish supply chains, and arm your forces.

Overview

EcoCreate transforms Minecraft into an industrial warfare simulator. Players progress from basic survival through increasingly complex automation systems, ultimately producing military hardware including firearms, vehicles, and fortified bases.

The economy is designed to feel earned through factory output and military supply chains. Every bullet, vehicle, and piece of armor requires raw materials, processing infrastructure, and logistical networks to produce at scale.

Requirements

Minecraft: 1.20.1
Forge: 47.2.0 or higher
RAM: 8GB+ recommended (10GB+ for multiplayer servers)

Progression Path

The modpack is structured around a guided questline that takes players from basic survival to industrial warfare:

Basic Production - Survival basics, introduction to Create/Mekanism/Tinkers'/Powah
Basic Storage - Storage solutions: vanilla → Iron Chests → Sophisticated Storage → Drawers
We Need Logistics - Item/fluid transport, AE2 digital storage networks
We Need Energy - Power generation across multiple mod systems
We Need Industry - Factory automation, ore processing chains, steel production
We Need Protection - Personal armor, camouflage systems
We Need an Armory - Firearms, ammunition production, chemical warfare
Our Command Center - Base construction, static defenses, military vehicles

Economy Design

EcoCreate is designed for multiplayer servers with a focus on economic balance:

Resource Sinks: Military hardware consumes massive quantities of processed materials
Continuous Consumption: Ammunition, fuel, and medical supplies create ongoing demand
Specialization: Players can focus on civilian production (building materials, components) or military manufacturing
Auction House Integration: Works with EcoCreate-Markets for a digital currency economy

EcoCreate-Markets Integration

The companion mod EcoCreate-Markets provides:

Digital-only currency system (no physical coins)
Server-wide Auction House
Trade ledger for economic tracking
Designed for industrial output as the primary income source

Server Recommendations

For multiplayer servers running EcoCreate:

Economy: Use EcoCreate-Markets for the intended economic experience
Claims: Consider faction/claiming mods for base protection
Performance: Pre-generate chunks, use Chunky for world pre-gen
Backups: Regular world backups recommended due to complex machinery

Server Configurations

Ensure your world folder has the server_scripts folder under the KubeJS folder. Then, add this file:

To make all ore blocks drop the unified raw material, install KubeJS and LootJS.

Create: kubejs/server_scripts/unify_ore_drops.js

// Unify ore drops to use Almost Unified's preferred item
LootJS.modifiers(event => {
    event.addBlockLootModifier('#forge:ores').modifyLoot('#forge:raw_materials', item => {
        const replacement = AlmostUnified.getReplacementForItem(item);
        if (replacement.isEmpty()) {
            return item;
        }
        replacement.setCount(item.getCount());
        return replacement;
    });
});

Furthermore, you can modify modPriorities in the config/almostunified/unify.json file to determine what mod tag to show for each of the ores.
