Overview
Create lab is a dimension mod initially designed to be paired with the Create mod. This mod adds a new "laboratory" dimension that is a test world for you to try out builds, contraptions, etc in creative mode without having to switch to another save game. The laboratory dimension holds its own player inventory allowing you to switch between the lab and your survival world without one impacting the other.
Please note the mod is currently in Beta though the core features have been implemented the mod is still very much under development. If you come across any bugs please report using the links above.
