Create Additions & Synthetics
This mod adds alternative or completely new recipes for base game items, Create Mod content and even items from other Create Addons using Create Mod manufacturing processes that are mostly based on the real-life counterpart of the item and its respective synthetic manufacturing process. (A list of all recipes is included below). CAS aims to streamline automation and give users different options when manufacturing items.
Version 2.0 adds a new tier beyond netherite for your tools with increased damage and mining speed, called Gilded Netherite, which is made in a smithing table using a whole new set of items. Craft the new Gilded Upgrade with Dense Brass Sheets and combine it with a Brass Crystal and a netherite tool in the smithing table to upgrade the tool to its Gilded Netherite variant. Gilded Netherite Armor might be added in the future.
Version 3.0 adds over 80 new items to use as filters in Redstone Links or as labelling for floors in tall buildings. These items are made in a stonecutter from their respective template. There are four different template variations made from brass, iron, copper or zinc nuggets and paper. Each can be crafted into numbers from 00 - 20. Further numbers are not currently planned.
Unfortunately, 1.21.1 and newer versions will most likely not be supported.
It is recommended to use JEI alongside this mod to see all the new recipes added in game.
