# Create: Better Utils A Create addon that adds utility blocks, inverted logistics components, and diving helmet upgrades. *** ## Overview **Create: Better Utils** extends Create with kinetic lighting, redstone-inverted logistics machines, and night-vision diving helmets that work with Create's backtank system. Several quality-of-life improvements are also included for Create's packagers. *** ## Blocks & Items ### Mega Light A kinetic lamp powered by rotation from below. * **Brightness and radius scale with RPM** — faster spin means a brighter, wider light area * **Hostile mob clearing** — monsters inside the light radius are destroyed periodically * **Spawn protection** — hostile mobs cannot spawn inside an active Mega Light's radius * **Engineer's Goggles** show stress, RPM, and the current light radius in blocks *** ### Double Sided Display Board A Display board that displays on both sides *** ### Contraption Controls A redstone link panel with 12 programmable buttons. Each button stores a frequency pair (like a Redstone Link) and can display a glyph item as a label. * **12 buttons** per block, each with 3 slots (2 frequency, 1 display) * **Edit** frequencies and display items even while the contraption is moving * **Glyph items** can be placed in the display slot for custom button labels * Items are **hidden from Jade/Waila** overlay *** ### Inverted Packager A Packager with **inverted redstone behaviour**. | State |Vanilla Packager |Inverted Packager | | --------- |---------------- |----------------- | | Unpowered |Active |Idle | | Powered |Idle |Active | Useful when you want packaging to run by default and pause on a redstone signal. *** ### Inverted Re-Packager Same inverted redstone logic as the Inverted Packager, but based on Create's **Re-Packager**. *** ### Inverted Clutch A Clutch with **inverted redstone behaviour**. | State |Vanilla Clutch |Inverted Clutch | | --------- |--------------- |--------------- | | Unpowered |Passes rotation |Blocks rotation | | Powered |Blocks rotation |Passes rotation | The block texture updates to match its state (engaged vs disengaged). *** ### Copper Diving Night Vision Helmet A Create **Copper Diving Helmet** upgraded with night vision. * Grants **Night Vision** while worn with a **Backtank** that has pressurized air * Consumes a small amount of air over time while active * Shows a **backtank air overlay** next to the breath bar when the effect is active * Retains normal diving helmet behaviour underwater *** ### Netherite Diving Night Vision Helmet The netherite tier of the diving night vision helmet. *** ### Glyphs Label items for Contraption Controls buttons and frequency filters. Each glyph letter/digit is a separate item. * **3 tiers** available: **Brass** (gold), **Zinc** (blue), **Andesite** (grey) * **37 glyphs per tier**: A-Z, 0-9, and an empty/blank glyph * **111 glyph items** total across all tiers * Place in a Contraption Controls **display slot** to label a button * Organized in their own **Creative Tab** with brass/zinc/andesite section banners * All glyphs **visible in JEI/EMI** item browser *** ## Quality-of-Life Improvements ### Nametag Packager Addresses All Create **Packagers** and **Re-Packagers** (including vanilla Create ones) can be assigned a logistics address with a **named nametag**: * Right-click the machine with a renamed nametag to set its destination address * Use an empty nametag to clear the address * Engineer's Goggles show when an address was set via nametag ### Nametag Editor A custom nametag editing screen is available so you can rename nametags for packager addressing without needing an anvil. *** ## Enchantments ### Diving Night Vision Helmet Enchantments Both diving night vision helmets now support **enchantments**. | Item |Enchantability | | ------------------------------------ |------------------- | | Copper Diving Night Vision Helmet |9 (iron-tier) | | Netherite Diving Night Vision Helmet |15 (netherite-tier) | Applies to Protection, Respiration, Aqua Affinity, Unbreaking, and other helm-compatible enchantments. *** ## Processing Data Components Every Create processing machine now stamps its output with a **data component marker** and a matching **item attribute** for use in Create's filter system. | Component |Machine | | -------------- |----------------------------- | | just_pressed |Mechanical Press | | just_compacted |Mechanical Press (Compacting) | | just_haunted |Fan + Soul Fire | | just_splashed |Fan + Water | | just_crushed |Crushing Wheels | | just_milled |Millstone | | just_mixed |Mechanical Mixer | | just_cut |Mechanical Saw | | just_polished |Sand Paper | | just_deployed |Deployer | | just_filled |Spout / Filler | | just_emptied |Drain / Emptier | | just_smoked |Fan Smoking | | just_blasted |Fan Blasting | The `just_*` item attributes can be used with **brass funnels**, **filtered belts**, **depots**, and other Create filter components to sort items by how they were processed. *** ## Dependencies | Mod |Version | | --------- |-------------- | | Minecraft |1.21.1 | | NeoForge |21.1.233+ | | Create |6.0.10 – 6.1.0 | _Better Utils — less clutter, same logistics power._
