I never found create interesting and it’s very tedious and it’s in almost every single 1.16+ modpack. I just never understood why seemingly everyone likes it so i would like to hear your opinions

Edit: Wish for good progression based modpacks for newer minecraft versions without Create, maybe thats my “beef” with the mod

    I have very mixed feelings about it, tbh! It’s an amazing mod, and I agree with the stuff other people are saying about the complexity it adds + what that does for the overall gameplay.

    I also get really bored really fast when I’m trying to make something simple & I have to drill down through like 5 different layers of “simpler stuff I need to make the thing I actually want”. It just adds SO MUCH to the game that I get overwhelmed, and that stops me from actually executing any creative ideas I have. The complexity is its greatest strength AND its greatest weakness, I guess.

    Most mods also have documentation / onboarding that’s just not robust enough for me. Create has decent in-game documentation, I think, but tbh I vastly prefer a really solid wiki to an okay tutorial. I can alt-tab to a web page, but I have to stop what I’m doing and go out of my way to access an in-game tutorial; for a mod as complicated as Create, that puts me off no matter how many times I try to learn.

    I guess this answers the opposite of your question, but hey. I feel you!

      This is a very good take. I don’t mid ingame vs browser wiki and i definitely agree on the complexity stuff. I like different kind of complexity like we have on DJ2 or E2E modpacks, E6E which has Create wasn’t nearly as fun for me and couldn’t really pin on why.
