What is Create: Dragons Plus?

2 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Create: Dragons Plus is a Create addon that adds convenient features for players, plus dev utilities for other Create addon authors. As a player, you'll mostly care about the first part: it gives your Encased Fans new jobs and makes tank handling easier.[1]

This pack ships version 1.11.7b, and the mod has been in the pack since 2.47 or earlier.[2]

What it adds

  • Bulk Coloring: use Dye Fluids with an Encased Fan to dye items. It supports most crafting recipes that use dyes.[1]
  • Bulk Freezing: use Powder Snow with an Encased Fan to freeze items.[1]
  • Bulk Ending: use a Dragon Head or Dragon's Breath (fluid) with an Encased Fan to infuse items with energy from The End.[1]
  • Bulk Sanding: use Quicksand with an Encased Fan to polish items. It supports all Sand Paper polishing recipes. Since version 1.8.5, Quicksand is no longer required if the Bulk Sanding block tag contains any block.[1]
  • Fluid Hatch: works like the Item Hatch, but gives you convenient take and deposit operations on Fluid Tanks.[1]

Who it's for

If you already run Create and want to process items in bulk with fans instead of one at a time, this mod is for you. It's also handy if you want simpler fluid tank access.[1]

The mod also has optional integrations with other mods, such as Create: Simulated, Create: Granished, Create: Dreams & Desires, The Aether, Dye Depot, Dyenamics, Arts & Crafts and Ars Nouveau. Each one only matters if that mod is installed. Its features can be enabled or disabled, unless a dependent mod forces them on or off.[1]

Unverified The sources don't show any quests for this mod, any role on the ATM Star path, or an in-game guidebook. They also don't confirm which of the integration mods are in this pack, or whether the pack changed any of the mod's configs or recipes.

How do you get started with Create: Dragons Plus?

4 parts

Create: Dragons Plus is a Create add-on built around bulk processing with the Encased Fan, plus a handy accessory for fluid tanks. The pack changed every craftable item from this mod, so use the recipes shown below rather than any default you remember. Here is what to make first, in order.[1][3]

Step one: the Fluid Hatch

Start with the Fluid Hatch. It makes a tank easy to use with fluid containers: it deposits fluid from your held item into the tank it is placed on, or retrieves stored fluid from the tank when you use empty fluid containers. The mod's page compares it to the Item Hatch, but for Fluid Tanks.[1][4]

Recipe id: create_dragons_plus:crafting/fluid_hatch

This is the pack's changed Fluid Hatch recipe.

Step two: dyes for Bulk Coloring

Next, look at dyes. Bulk Coloring uses dye fluids: air flowing from an Encased Fan through liquid dye creates a coloring setup that dyes items. It is automatically compatible with certain crafting recipes that use dyes.[1][4]

The pack has Create mixing recipes that take a vanilla dye plus water and give you the mod's version, such as Red Dye. The pack changed these recipes. Red is shown as the example, and the other colors in the recipe list follow the same pattern.[3]

Mixing (create)

Recipe id: create_dragons_plus:mixing/red_dye_from_item

Every color uses its own dye plus water.

The coloring air flow can also affect entities and change their color, and equipped armor gets colored too.[4]

Step three: Dragon's Breath for Bulk Ending

For Bulk Ending you need either a Dragon Head or Dragon's Breath as a fluid, with an Encased Fan blowing through it to infuse items with energy from The End. In this pack, a Create emptying recipe turns a bottle of dragon's breath into the mod's Dragon's Breath and gives you the glass bottle back. The pack changed this recipe.[1][3][4]

Emptying (create)

Recipe id: create_dragons_plus:emptying/dragon_breath

Emptying the bottle gives you the glass bottle back.

Step four: the Blaze upgrade template

The last craftable is the Smithing Template, and the pack changed its recipe as well. The mod describes its additions slot as "Add working blocks for Blaze".[3][4]

Tip: The mod's project page says all features can be enabled or disabled, unless a dependent mod forces them on or off. If a setup does not behave as you expect, keep that in mind.[1]

How does Create: Dragons Plus work?

6 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 10 7.0 guide

Create: Dragons Plus is a small add-on with one big idea: it adds new kinds of fan processing to Create. You point an Encased Fan through a special block or fluid, and the air flow processes the items it hits, just like Bulk Blasting and Bulk Smoking. It also adds the Fluid Hatch, which makes tanks easier to use.[1][5]

The new fan processing types

Every type is set up the same way. You run an Encased Fan's air flow through a catalyst, and anything in the air stream gets processed. The catalyst decides which process you get.[1][5]

  • Bulk Coloring: an air flow passing through liquid dye creates a Coloring setup that dyes items. It automatically works with many crafting recipes that use dyes, so you don't need a separate recipe for each one.[1][5]
  • Bulk Freezing: an air flow passing through Powder Snow creates a Freezing setup that freezes items.[1][5]
  • Bulk Ending: an air flow passing through a Dragon Head or Dragon's Breath creates an Ending setup that infuses items with energy from The End.[1][5]
  • Bulk Sanding: an air flow passing through a Bulk Sanding catalyst such as Quicksand creates a Sanding setup. It automatically works with Sand Paper polishing recipes, so you can do anything you'd normally sand by hand in bulk.[1][5]

Bulk Coloring doesn't stop at items. The coloring air flow also changes the color of entities it hits, and it colors any armor those entities are wearing too. Keep that in mind before you stand in front of your dye fan in your favorite armor set![5]

Making the catalyst fluids

You make liquid dye with Create's mixing process. Each dye color has its own mixing recipe, from White Dye to Black Dye. The pack has changed these mixing recipes, so check the in-game recipe instead of trusting older guides. Here's one example:[6]

250× Red DyeChanged by the pack

Mixing (create)

Recipe id: create_dragons_plus:mixing/red_dye_from_item

Every other dye color has a matching mixing recipe.

For Bulk Ending, you can use Dragon's Breath fluid instead of a Dragon Head. In this pack you get it from an emptying recipe that turns bottled Dragon's Breath into the fluid and gives you back the glass bottle. The pack has changed this recipe as well.[1][6]

Emptying (create)

Recipe id: create_dragons_plus:emptying/dragon_breath

Fluid Hatch

The Fluid Hatch works like Create's Item Hatch, but for fluids. You place it on a fluid tank and then use fluid containers on it. Hold a filled container to deposit its fluid into the tank, or use an empty container to take stored fluid out. That makes it easy to top up the dye or Dragon's Breath your fan setups need. The pack has changed its crafting recipe:[1][5][6]

Features that depend on other mods

Some mechanics only work when certain other mods are installed. With the Create: Simulated series, the bulk processing air currents from Simulated Contraptions can affect blocks as well as items. You also get the Fragile Fluid Tank and the Levitite Fragile Fluid Tank. These tanks break on impact, and when one breaks, its fluid's effect spreads to the area around it.[1][5]

Watch out: The option that lets a Bulk Blasting air current spread fire is off by default in the mod's config, so new players don't accidentally burn down their bases. If it gets turned on, give your contraption's air path plenty of room.[5]
  • Bulk Coloring and Bulk Freezing support the fan processing recipes of Create: Garnished.[1]
  • Bulk Ending, Bulk Sanding and Bulk Freezing support the fan processing recipes of Create: Dreams & Desires, and they also work with its Industrial Fan.[1]
  • With The Aether, the mod adds Bulk Enchanting, which handles Aether enchanting recipes, repairing recipes and incubating Moa Eggs. Bulk Freezing also runs The Aether's Freezer recipes.[1]
  • Liquid dye and Bulk Coloring also support dyes from Dye Depot and Dyenamics, plus Bleachdew from Arts & Crafts.[1]
  • Ars Nouveau's Containment Jar produces Dragon's Breath.[1]

Unverified The sources don't confirm which of these companion mods (the Create: Simulated series, Create: Garnished, Create: Dreams & Desires, The Aether, Dye Depot, Dyenamics, Arts & Crafts, Ars Nouveau) are in this pack. Check JEI or the mod list before planning around these integrations. This site does hold All the Mons's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

The project page says that since version 1.8.5, Bulk Sanding turns on whenever its block tag contains any block, so Quicksand is no longer required.[1]

Unverified The sources don't show which blocks count as a Bulk Sanding catalyst in this pack, or whether the pack's version of the mod includes that change. Test a candidate block with a fan before building a big sanding line.

Blaze Upgrade Smithing Template

The mod also adds a Blaze Upgrade Smithing Template. Its additions slot says it adds working blocks for a Blaze. The pack has changed its crafting recipe:[5][6]

Config

You can turn every feature of Create: Dragons Plus on or off, unless a dependent mod forces it one way.[1]

Unverified No config files for this mod were available from the pack, so it's unconfirmed whether this pack disables any of these features. If a fan setup does nothing, a disabled feature is one possible cause.

How do you progress through Create: Dragons Plus?

3 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.0 guide

The recipe data for this mod in the pack is small: one crafting recipe for a hatch, one for a smithing template, one emptying recipe and a set of dye mixing recipes. Every one of them is marked as changed by the pack, so what you see below are the pack's versions, not the mod's defaults.[7]

Fluid Hatch

The Fluid Hatch is a shapeless crafting recipe that starts from a Create Item Drain. Here is the exact in-pack recipe.[7]

Dragon's Breath and dyes

Emptying a bottle of vanilla dragon's breath gives you 250 of the Dragon's Breath fluid, and you get the glass bottle back.[7]

Emptying (create)

Recipe id: create_dragons_plus:emptying/dragon_breath

Each dye fluid has its own Create mixing recipe that turns the matching vanilla dye item into 250 of the fluid. Black Dye is shown here as the example, and the other colours follow the same pattern with the same output amount.[7]

Mixing (create)

Tip: Because the dye recipes all output the same 250 amount, once one colour works in your setup you can copy it for the others, for example Red Dye or Lime Dye.[7]

How does Create: Dragons Plus work with other mods?

2 parts

In this pack, Create: Dragons Plus connects most clearly with Create: Enchantment Industry. Items from this mod feed into that mod's recipes, and the pack has changed the crafting recipe of the Fluid Hatch.[3]

Fluid Hatch and the Experience Hatch

The Fluid Hatch gives you a convenient way to take fluid from and deposit fluid into Fluid Tanks. The pack has changed its crafting recipe, so don't rely on a recipe you remember from the mod's defaults. Here is the in-pack version:[1][3]

Once you have a Fluid Hatch, you can turn it into the Experience Hatch with an item application recipe. It also uses a Block of Experience.[3]

Item Application (create)

This is the mod's own recipe, not changed by the pack.

Smithing Template for the Blaze upgrades

The Smithing Template is a smithing template from this mod, and the Create: Enchantment Industry blaze machines are made with it. Both start from a Blaze Burner. You make the Blaze Enchanter with an Enchanting Table, and the Blaze Forger with an Anvil. Both are unchanged mod recipes.[3]

What changed in Create: Dragons Plus between versions?

5 parts

All the Mons 1.0.0-rc.6 ships Create: Dragons Plus 1.10.1. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mons 0.3.0-beta or earlier. Below are the notable changes from the mod's own changelogs, newest first.[8]

1.10.1 (the version in this pack)

  • The Sable Integration feature setting moved to the Global Feature setting, which should prevent some loading issues. Sable Integration now loads with Sable instead of Create Aeronautics.[9]
  • Fixed a crash that happened with Sable only, and a KubeJS related error (the changelog asks you to report it if the issue persists).[9]
  • Fixed a Supplementaries interaction where coloring sand turned it into suspicious sand with the dye inside.[9]
  • Fixed Immersive Engineering potions not being removable through the Fluid Hatch.[9]
  • Fixed floor differences compared with the vanilla Create Ponder, and a JEI Sanding category icon error caused by Quicksand lacking an item model for its block.[9]
  • Added a Bulgarian localization and updated the French one.[9]

1.10.0b

This was an update for Create 6.0.10. If you use Create: Simulated with it, the changelog says to update Simulated to at least 1.1.0. The release fixed the crafting recipe of the Fragile Fluid Tank.[10]

1.8.7

An update for Create 6.0.9 that fixed a crash when pondering the encased fan with Bulk Sanding in certain situations.[11]

1.8.6

  • Added the item tag not_applicable_for_coloring, which stops specific items from being bulk colored.[12]
  • Fixed a crash when pondering the encased fan with Dreams and Desires but without Quicksand.[12]
  • Fixed a crash with Oreganized when using the encased fan ponder at bulk freezing.[12]
  • Fixed an infinite fluid dupe caused by the Fluid Hatch interacting with Mekanism's fluid tanks.[12]

1.8.5

  • Bulk Sanding no longer hard requires Quicksand (NeoForge). It now activates when any one of these is true: Quicksand is installed, C:DnD is installed, or the Bulk Sanding block tag contains a block.[13]
  • Updated the recipe format for compatibility with the new version of KubeJS-Create.[13]
