Create Repair
The Unofficial Create Community Patch
What's this? One word verb, Create style logo, yet another boring addon?
I mean yes, we don't add anything user-facing*; if we're boring, that means we're doing our job. It's also a love letter to the mod that brought me back into modded Minecraft and got me making mods; my repertoire mostly consists of bugfixes. Not vanilla bugs: bugs in mods I love, but that are unfortunately no longer maintained.
And this mod is no different. Create may have dropped support for 1.20.1, but give me the keys to the kingdom, and this version lives forever.
So what do we do?
- Fix 1.20.1-exclusive bugs.
- Backport Create's fixes for bugs that also affected 1.20.1.
- Backport new API.
- *Backport applicable compat recipes or small feature tweaks. Oops, it's user-facing after all.
All of the above are subject to the difficulty of actually implementing them, taking into account the invasiveness of the required changes: no update to Create Repair should break an addon, lest we saddle either Create, the addon, or both, with issue reports.
For a full list of our backported fixes, tweaks, and more, check out our Big List of Backports.
Some bugs require Fabric Mixin to fix, which for Forge can be provided by either Mixinbooster (recommended) or Sinytra Connector. As such, there is no hard dependency on either, but those fixes will be disabled if neither is present.
F.A.Q.
Q: Can this be used in my modpack?
A: Yes, obviously.
Q: Does this conflict with other mods backporting specific fixes?
A: It shouldn't. Throughout our (admittedly slow to get off the ground) initial development we've become aware of other mods that backported specific fixes (and got those released earlier). Should those mods be present, our implementation of the fix will not be applied, and we use relatively compatible mixins in case we missed one. If we've missed one where it results in incorrect behaviour (or worse), do please let us know.
Q: Will you port this to Minecraft version X.Y.Z?
A: We might start a 1.21.1 branch when Create drops support for that eventually. Otherwise, no, We're simply too far behind for that to be viably maintained.
Q: Will you backport {feature from Create's next big content update}?
A: No. If it's not something that you'd see in a patch version, you won't see it in Create Repair.
Q: Does this update at the same schedule as Create?
A: No. If we fix something (in our own code or Create's) it'll be released relatively soon thereafter.
