Create: Labor Rush
Boost with a Lead or Bell - now with enchanted bells, worker rebellions and 19 achievements
An addon for Create: Villager Labor that lets you motivate villagers to work at incredible speeds. Use a Lead on a single worker, or ring a Bell to boost everyone nearby.
New in v2.0.1: in-game graphical config with server/admin sync, custom-model hats (struggle tall hat and capitalist hat), a 4x3 slogan painting, and Russian localisation.
Version Compatibility
| Your Mod Version | CVL Version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| v2.0.1 | 1.4.0 - 1.5.3 | Current |
| v2.0.0 | 1.4.0 - 1.5.0 | Archived |
| v1.1.0 | 1.4.0 - 1.5.0 | Archived |
| v1.0.0 | 1.3.1 | Archived |
Requires Create: Villager Labor 1.4.0 or newer. Available for Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.1.
How It Works
- Lead (Normal) - left-click a seated worker with a Lead to give them a "Work" effect for 90 seconds.
- Lead + Fire Aspect I - left-click with a Fire Aspect I Lead to activate Work II, processing 32 items per batch.
- Lead + Fire Aspect II - left-click with a Fire Aspect II Lead to activate Work III, processing 64 items per batch.
- Lead + Channeling - left-click a worker, then Shift + Left-click to unleash the Lightning 5-Whip: a 5-block AoE chain strike with a brand-new lightning effect (beam, burst, shockwave, arcing current).
- See it in action: Lightning 5-Whip (bilibili)
- Bell / Desk Bell - right-click a Bell or Desk Bell to motivate all seated workers within 16 blocks at once. Enchanted bells work too.
- Enchanted Bells - enchant a Bell with Fire Aspect or Channeling on an anvil, place it, and every ring triggers the enchantment. Effects are saved to the block and persist across world restarts; middle-click to copy an enchanted bell instantly.
Tip: leads can be enchanted using an anvil and an enchanted book.
What It Does
Workers under the "Work" effect blaze through recipes at maximum speed:
| Phase | Normal | With Work |
|---|---|---|
| Processing Time | 10-20 ticks | 1 tick |
| Cooldown (between items) | 20 ticks | 1 tick |
Batch Processing
| Trigger | Mode | Batch Size |
|---|---|---|
| Bell / Normal Lead | Work I | Seat material default (1/2/4) |
| Fire Aspect I Lead | Work II | 32 |
| Fire Aspect II Lead | Work III | 64 |
Total cycle time drops from roughly 1-2 seconds to just 2 ticks (0.1s) - ideal for high-throughput production lines.
Worker Rebellion (new in v2.0)
Push your workers too hard and they might just snap. This optional system is disabled by default - enable it in the config if you want chaos.
- Contagion - one angry worker can spread the rebellion to the whole workshop
- Rebel leader - rebellions have a leader (tracked with a boss bar), and rebels buff up while rebelling
- Property damage - rebels smash nearby machines (configurable)
- Emerald negotiation - right-click the leader and pay up to end the strike peacefully
- Maid Uprising - Touhou Little Maid maids auto-equip weapons and shout 22 Touhou-themed battle cries (gracefully skipped if the maid mod is not installed)
How to Quell a Rebellion
| Method | How | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Kill them | Kill every rebel | Workers go on strike afterwards |
| Wait it out | Let the timer run out | Rebellion ends on its own |
| Pay ransom | Right-click the leader with emeralds | Ends it peacefully |
| Ring a bell | Ring any (enchanted) bell inside the area | Unlocks the Peacemaker achievement |
| Channeling | Strike the rebels with a Channeling lead | Unlocks the Stormlord achievement |
enableRebelliononly controls whether new rebellions can start. An ongoing rebellion keeps running.
Balancing - Haste Makes Waste
Working at breakneck speed has its risks: items processed under "Work" have a configurable chance of being destroyed on completion.
When destruction triggers, only a portion of the batch is lost (default 20%-50%), not the entire batch.

Example: processing 64 items with Work III gives a 15% chance to trigger; if triggered, 13-32 items are lost (random roll) and the rest are produced normally.
Config is editable in-game via Mods -> Create: Labor Rush -> Config (applies instantly), or directly in config/createlaborrush-common.toml.
On multiplayer the server's config is authoritative: only admins (OP, or the singleplayer/LAN host) can change it, and their changes are synced to everyone else. Server values are never written into a client's local config file.
