For players who've mastered the kinetic world of Create and crave something more industrial, Create: Diesel Generators Mod delivers exactly that — crude oil processing, fuel refinement, and powerful diesel engines that plug directly into your existing Create contraptions. Developed by george8188262 and downloaded over 2.4 million times, this addon transforms Create's mechanical playground into a full-blown petrochemical operation. From pumping crude oil out of the ground to refining gasoline and diesel, every step feels like a natural extension of the base mod's design philosophy.
Key Features
- Diesel generators & upgradeable engines — Generate rotational force from refined fuels, with engine tiers that scale to match your factory's demands.
- Crude oil processing chain — Pump oil from underground reserves, store it in oil barrels and canisters, then refine it into gasoline and diesel through a multi-step pipeline.
- Chemical turrets & sprayers — Defensive and utility machines that put your chemical products to practical use beyond power generation.
- Pumping stations & burners — Extract resources and burn fuels with redstone-controllable burners that output comparator signals for automation.
- Bulk product fermenters — Process organic materials in large batches, opening up new crafting paths for bio-based products.
- Compression molding & casting — Shape metals and materials through industrial forming processes, adding depth to your production lines.
- New tools & building materials — Hammers, wire cutters, lighters, asphalt, andesite beams, metal panels, cement, and wood chips give builders and engineers more to work with.
- Layered bags & storage — Specialized containers for managing the mod's expanded inventory of fluids and bulk goods.

FAQ
Does Create: Diesel Generators work with NeoForge on 1.21.1?
Yes. For Minecraft 1.21.1 and 1.21, the mod is available for NeoForge. Older versions like 1.20.1 and below use Forge or Fabric instead.
Do I need the Create mod installed to use this?
Yes, Create is a required dependency. Create: Diesel Generators is an addon that builds on top of Create's rotational power system, so the base mod must be installed first.
Can I control burners with redstone?
Yes. According to the latest changelog, burners can be powered with redstone to quickly void fuel, and they also output an analog comparator signal for automation setups.
