Create: Exploded

Create: Exploded

Your fuel tanks are a liability now.

Create: Exploded adds volatile, explosive fluids to the Create ecosystem. Fuels and crude liquids stored in Fluid Tanks and Fluid Vessels are no longer inert — expose them to a nearby explosion, and they'll detonate with force proportional to how much flammable liquid they're holding.

No more parking a warehouse of gasoline next to your TNT cannon and walking away unscathed.

How It Works

• Chain reactions, not magic. Tanks don't spontaneously combust — any explosion (TNT, creepers, other mods, or another exploded tank) that reaches a tank containing a flammable fluid will set it off in turn. Build your fuel depot next to a minefield at your own risk.
• Explosion power scales with fluid volume. A near-empty tank gives a modest pop. A fully stacked multiblock tank brimming with crude oil is a crater. The mod reads the actual fluid amount stored (not the tank's total capacity), so partially filled tanks are proportionally safer.
• Not all fluids are equally dangerous. Each supported liquid has its own explosiveness rating based on real-world combustion energy and flammability — see the ratings table below.
• Multiblock aware. Create's tanks merge into a single shared reservoir when connected — Create: Exploded treats the whole connected structure as one volume when calculating blast force, so building a bigger tank farm means building a bigger bomb.

Supported Fluids & Compatibility

| Fluid | Rating | |---|---| | Hydrogen | 1.25 | | Napalm | 1.2 | | Diesel | 1.15 | | Crude Oil | 1.1 | | Ethylene | 1.1 | | Gas Oil | 1.1 | | LPG / Propane / Butane | 1.1 | | Oil / Desalted Oil | 1.1 | | Naphtha / Naphta | 1.05 | | Gasoline | 1.0 | | Kerosene | 1.0 | | Heavy Oil | 1.0 | | Fuel Oil | 1.0 | | Volatile Gas | 1.0 | | Other fuel (c:fuel, tfmg:flammable, tfmg:fuel) | 1.0 | | Biodiesel | 0.9 | | Hydrogen Sulfide | 0.9 | | Ethanol | 0.75 | | Plant Oil | 0.6 | | Furnace Gas | 0.5 |

| Source | Provides | Status | |---|---|---| | Create | Tanks | Required | | Kotlin for Forge | — | Required | | Create: Diesel Generators | Fuels & Engines | Tested | | Create: The Factory Must Grow | Fuels | Tested | | Create: Petrochem | Fuels | Tested | | Create: Connected | Vessels | Tested | | Create Propulsion: Simulated | Thrusters | Tested |

Required — the mod won't load without these.

Tested — verified to work and covered by testing, but the mod loads fine without them.

Fluids are matched by fluid tags first (c:*, tfmg:flammable, tfmg:fuel), with a registry-name fallback for untagged or custom fluids. Tanks are picked up generically through the fluid capability and block-name matching (tank, vessel, cistern), while diesel engines and thrusters are handled explicitly with their own multiblock-aware explosion logic. Beyond the mods listed above, Create: Exploded will generally work alongside other Create addons that store fluids — treat unlisted mods as best-effort compatibility rather than a supported feature.

Why Install This?

• Adds real stakes to fuel logistics in industrial Create builds
• Makes tank placement and blast shielding an actual design consideration
• Rewards contraptions that separate storage from combat/mining operations
• Plays nicely with modpacks built around Create's diesel/oil processing chains

Requirements

• Loader: NeoForge
• Required: Create, Kotlin for Forge
• Optional: Create: Diesel Generators, Create: The Factory Must Grow, Create: Connected, Create Propulsion: Simulated
