A lightweight bridge between TerraFirmaCraft metal chains and Create's chain conveyor system — tier reach, metal textures, dyeable lanes, and full…

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

TFC Create Chain Compatibility is a lightweight compatibility mod that seamlessly integrates TerraFirmaCraft (TFC) chain types with Create's conveyor belt system. Using mixins to modify Create's code without altering core files, this mod lets TFC players enhance their automation setups with stylistically consistent chain conveyors.

Features

TFC chain integration

Use every TerraFirmaCraft metal/chain/* item on Create chain conveyors for placement, connection, and riding
Conveyors render the correct TFC metal chain texture for the installed type
Breaking a configured conveyor drops the matching TFC chain, not minecraft:chain
Right-click a conveyor with a chain item to swap its metal type in-world (consumes one chain in survival)

Rotational power transfer

Full Create chain conveyor behavior is preserved — entities ride links, spans connect across gaps, and rotational logistics work exactly as vanilla Create intended
TFC chains are treated as first-class connection items instead of forcing vanilla iron chain

Now in color

Dye conveyor lanes to mark routes at a glance
Set a primary color with a dye, then Shift + dye for a secondary stripe
Apply a second dye to blend colors; Shift + empty hand clears lane colors
Optional glow tiers with glowstone dust (bright) or glow ink sac (emissive) on dyed rows Metal tier connection reach
Stronger metals span farther — copper for short hops, blue/red steel for the longest configured spans
Reach follows TFC anvil metal tiers out of the box and is fully tunable in config/tfccreatechaincompt-common.toml Quality-of-life tools
Tape Measure — measure block distances while planning conveyor runs (Tools & Utilities tab)

Multiplayer-safe

Chain type, lane colors, and glow state sync to all clients for correct rendering

How to use

Install Create, TerraFirmaCraft, and this mod on NeoForge 1.21.1
Build chain conveyors as usual
When connecting spans, hold the TFC chain item you want — reach limits follow that metal's tier
Optionally right-click an existing conveyor with a chain to retexture it, or use dyes to color lanes

Default tier reach (blocks)

Reach is by anvil tier, not per chain name. TFC has nine chain metals; bronzes share Tier II, blue/red steel share Tier VI.

Tier	Chains using it	Default max span
I	copper	8
II	bronze, bismuth_bronze, black_bronze	13
III	wrought_iron	18
IV	steel	26
V	black_steel	31
VI	blue_steel, red_steel	38

Vanilla minecraft:chain defaults to 38 blocks (configurable). The shortest limit among held chain, source conveyor, and target conveyor wins.

Compatibility

This mod is designed for the latest TerraFirmaCraft and Create releases on Minecraft 1.21.1 / NeoForge. It bridges realistic metalworking progression with Create's technological logistics — no Fabric build; TFC and Create do not target Fabric on 1.21.1.

Mod / Loader	Version
Minecraft	1.21.1
NeoForge	21.1.197+
Create	6.0.0 – 6.1.0
TerraFirmaCraft	4.0.0+
