Create: Above and Beyond

Create: Above and Beyond is the definitive Create mod experience, transforming the beloved mechanical mod into a complete progression-based modpack with nearly 5 million downloads. When you host a Create A&B server, you're offering players the ultimate mechanical engineering journey through three chapters of increasingly complex automation challenges.

Why Host a Create: Above and Beyond Server?

Create A&B showcases what makes Create special - physical, visual automation that's satisfying to build and watch. Unlike abstract tech mods, players construct actual machines with spinning gears, moving belts, and working pistons. This visual appeal creates impressive factory builds that become server landmarks players love to show off.

Server Requirements for Create A&B

Create's physics-based contraptions demand high single-thread CPU performance. We strongly recommend AMD Ryzen 5950X or equivalent processors for smooth contraption operation. 8GB RAM is essential, with NVMe storage improving world loading. When multiple players operate complex contraptions simultaneously, server requirements increase significantly.

Three-Chapter Progression

Create A&B structures its content into three distinct chapters, each introducing new mechanics and challenges. Chapter 1 teaches Create fundamentals. Chapter 2 expands into advanced automation. Chapter 3 pushes players to master complex systems. This structure provides clear progression goals that guide players through hundreds of hours of content.

Mechanical Engineering Focus

The pack strips away non-Create tech mods, focusing entirely on mechanical solutions. Every problem requires contraption-based answers - no magical item transfer or digital storage shortcuts. This forces creative engineering that makes builds uniquely satisfying.

Factory Aesthetics

Create A&B produces visually stunning factories. Spinning waterwheels, pumping pistons, conveyor networks, and steam engines create industrial landscapes unlike any other modpack. Players spend hours optimizing not just efficiency but aesthetics.

Custom Integration

All recipes are custom-designed for Create mechanics. Crushing, pressing, mixing, and deploying become essential production steps. The integration ensures every Create machine serves a purpose in the overall progression.

Multiplayer Factory Building

Create A&B excels in multiplayer where players collaborate on massive factory complexes. Divide responsibilities, design interconnected systems, and watch synchronized contraptions process resources across your builds.

Quest-Driven Experience

The comprehensive quest book guides players through each chapter, teaching mechanics while rewarding progress. New players learn Create effectively while veterans tackle optimization challenges.
