About this Modpack

A challenging Create-based modpack designed to overhaul the Minecraft experience.
Still work in progress and currently in an alpha state, expect issues or lack of documentation!
What exactly is Create: Avance?
Create: Avance adds several new features, with the focal mod being, of course, the Create mod. New mechanics such as temperature (From Cold Sweat), pollution (From Pollution of the Realms), seasons (From Serene Seasons) and localized weather (From Weather2) have been added.
It's a technology pack at heart, with Mekanism and Immersive Engineering being almost as important as Create for progression, however, these are all locked behind Create-related barriers - Most Mekanism blocks and items will require items from Create, and power is exclusively generated through create.
How do I play Create: Avance?
I would generally recommend it on a server environment with several players, though it's still fun to play alone. The world generation includes continents, which can make exploration to find other player-made settlements across the oceans by using custom Create-related ships an exciting part of the pack.
The main goal of the pack is to explore! However, I've included a handful of mods which could provide interesting intermediate goals to accomplish - Including a very well-known fictional Minecraft boss.
It's not a particularly heavy pack, I have put a bit of work into optimisation, meaning it'll run with just 2GB of RAM allocated at a minimum (However, for the best experience I recommend 4-6).

Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €12/month).
Can I add custom mods to Create: Avance without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
Create: Avance server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 8 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
