For Minecraft NeoForge 1.21.1
Requires Create
Create: DataForge is a technology addon for Create that brings industrial data centers, server racks, fictional digital mining, compute contracts, cooling systems, and high-risk AI supercomputing to Minecraft.
Build your own server infrastructure, power it with Create machinery, connect it through data cables, cool it before it overheats, and turn raw computation into valuable in-game resources.
Important: Create: DataForge does not mine real cryptocurrency.
All currencies, markets, mining systems, credits, and blockchain-inspired mechanics are entirely fictional Minecraft gameplay systems.
Create: DataForge expands Create with a new industrial computing progression.
Instead of adding simple one-block generators, DataForge focuses on physical infrastructure: server racks, kinetic power conversion, data cables, cooling systems, market terminals…
The main resource of the mod is Compute Units. Server racks generate Compute Units, which can be used to mine fictional in-game currencies, complete compute contracts, render data drives, unlock advanced components, and progress toward larger computing systems.
Create: DataForge is designed to feel like a natural extension of Create: visual, mechanical, automatable, and satisfying to build.
Server racks are the heart of your data center.
They can hold different components such as:
Each component affects compute output, power usage, heat generation, and efficiency.
The Kinetic Data Dynamo converts Create-style mechanical power into DataForge power.
Use shafts, rotation, and Create contraptions to feed your data center.
A better mechanical setup means more available power, higher compute output, and more room for expansion.
Data cables connect your infrastructure.
They are used to link server racks, controllers, dynamos, market terminals, and advanced machines into larger data networks.
Cable tiers include:
Higher-tier cables are designed for larger and more powerful data centers.
The Hash Controller manages fictional digital mining.
It gathers compute output from connected server racks and converts it into mining progress.
When enough work has been completed, the system produces fictional in-game currencies such as DataCoins.
The Market Terminal allows players to sell fictional currencies and processed data for Data Credits.
Market values can change over time, creating a simple in-game economy around computation and digital resources.
Data Credits are used for advanced crafting, upgrades, contracts, and future high-tier progression.
Compute contracts turn raw processing power into useful outputs.
Examples include:
Contracts consume Compute Units and may require special items such as blank data drives, rendered data drives, neural matrices, or encrypted data fragments.
Powerful machines generate heat.
If cooling is insufficient, machines lose efficiency, throttle, shut down, or enter dangerous states.
Cooling systems include:
Keeping your data center cool is essential for safe and efficient production.
The Quantum Fabricator is used for advanced crafting and high-tier technological progression.
It allows players to craft powerful processors, advanced modules, and components required for late-game computing systems.
The Contract Board is used to manage advanced compute tasks and higher-tier jobs.
It is designed for players who want to turn their data center into a full industrial computing facility.
Create: DataForge adds several electronic and computing components, including:
These components are used to build and upgrade your computing infrastructure.
The mod includes fictional in-game currencies used only for gameplay.
Examples include:
These currencies do not represent real money, real crypto, or real blockchain assets.
They are purely Minecraft items and mechanics.
The long-term endgame of Create: DataForge is the Neural Core.
The Neural Core is planned as a massive multiblock AI supercomputer. Instead of placing a single machine block, players will build a large structure around an empty central cavity.
When formed, the center will display a holographic AI field: a glowing geodesic sphere, rotating rings, data particles, and energy beams.
The Neural Core will be capable of producing enormous amounts of Compute Units and running advanced AI jobs, but it will also be extremely dangerous.
If poorly cooled, it may enter a meltdown sequence, charge an implosion, and trigger a catastrophic explosion.
The Neural Core is designed to be a high-risk, high-reward late-game machine.
Create: DataForge does not mine real cryptocurrency.
The mod does not:
All mining, markets, coins, wallets, and credits are fictional gameplay mechanics inside Minecraft.
Create: DataForge is designed as a Create addon.

Optional integrations may be expanded in future versions.
<details> <summary>Spoiler</summary>
No. Create: DataForge does not mine real crypto and never connects to real wallets, blockchains, or mining services. Everything is fictional and in-game.
Yes. Create: DataForge is built as an addon for Create.
Yes. You may include Create: DataForge in modpacks, as long as you follow the license and provide proper credit.
Yes. The mod is designed with multiplayer and server economies in mind. Destructive features such as major overheating failures or catastrophic explosions should be configurable.
The goal is to build and automate a complete industrial data center using Create-style mechanics.
Use JEI, EMI, or REI to view recipes. If something appears broken, please report it with your Minecraft version, NeoForge version, Create version, DataForge version, and logs if relevant.
Create: DataForge is inspired by the mechanical creativity of Create and the idea of turning computation into a physical factory system.
Special thanks to the Create community and the Minecraft modding community for making ambitious automation mods possible.
