Introduction

Welcome to my brand new series on the Create Mod! In this video, I'll be discussing the lack of tutorials available for this mod and the issues with lengthy and time-consuming tutorials. To counteract this, I will be providing concise and efficient tutorials to help you progress through the mod quickly. This episode will focus on creating the waterwheel and mechanical press, which are essential for advancing to more complex machines in later episodes. Make sure to subscribe to stay updated with the upcoming videos in this series.

Overview of the Create Mod

The Create Mod is a popular Minecraft modification that introduces various machinery and automation systems to enhance your gameplay experience. It offers a wide range of unique and innovative machines that can perform complex tasks, making it an excellent addition for players looking to delve into the world of automation.

Lack of Tutorials for the Create Mod

Despite its popularity, there is a noticeable lack of tutorials available for the Create Mod. Many existing tutorials are unnecessarily long, often exceeding 25 minutes, making them tedious and time-consuming to follow. As a result, beginners and players with limited time might find it challenging to grasp the concepts and functionalities of the mod.

Advantages of Short and Concise Tutorials

Short and concise tutorials have several advantages over lengthy ones. Firstly, they save precious time for both the content creator and the viewer. By condensing the information into easily digestible chunks, viewers can quickly understand and apply the concepts. Additionally, concise tutorials keep the viewers engaged and prevent them from losing interest, ensuring that they absorb the information effectively.

Series Breakdown: Staging the Episodes

To provide a structured learning experience, this series will be broken down into stages. Each episode will cover a specific stage, allowing you to progress through the mod at your own pace. This staged approach ensures that you can follow along in a survival world, mimicking the process I undertake.

Materials Needed for the Waterwheel and Mechanical Press

To get started, gather the following materials:

• Iron nuggets
• Andesite
• 19 blocks of glass (or any transparent blocks)
• Jungle saplings
• Buttons
• Wood planks
• Logs

These materials are sufficient for crafting the waterwheel and mechanical press showcased in this episode. However, depending on the complexity of the machines you create, you may require additional materials such as more andesite and iron nuggets.

Crafting the Waterwheel

To craft the waterwheel, follow these steps:

1. Go to a crafting table and combine iron nuggets with andesite to create andesite alloys.
2. Craft a large cog wheel by placing four buttons, four planks, and an andesite alloy in the crafting table.
3. Place the large cog wheel in the center of the crafting table and surround it with jungle saplings to create the waterwheel.

Remember, the waterwheel can be placed anywhere, as it only requires a single water source block. However, for aesthetic purposes, I recommend placing it against a house or in a location of your choice.

Creating the Shafts

To create the shafts, perform the following steps:

1. Craft andesite alloys by combining andesite in a crafting table. Each recipe creates eight andesite alloys.
2. Place the andesite alloys in a vertical line in the crafting table to create the shafts. You only need one shaft for now.

The shafts play a crucial role in connecting various machines and gears in the Create Mod. They enable the transmission of mechanical power between different components, allowing for efficient automation.

Crafting the Mechanical Press

The mechanical press is a more advanced machine that requires specific components. Follow these steps to craft the mechanical press:

1. Craft andesite casings by combining two andesite alloys, a log, and six planks.
2. Create little cogwheels by placing buttons around an andesite alloy in the crafting table. Each recipe creates eight little cogwheels.
3. Place the andesite casings and little cogwheels in the crafting table to craft the mechanical press.

Congratulations! You have successfully crafted the mechanical press, a versatile machine that will aid you in further automation and item processing.

Setting Up the Waterwheel and Mechanical Press

To set up the waterwheel and mechanical press, follow these steps:

1. Find a suitable location for the waterwheel. Remember, it only requires a single water source block, so you can place it above or below ground, as desired.
2. Attach a shaft to the waterwheel by right-clicking on the wheel with a shaft in hand.
3. Place a block next to the waterwheel to ensure the water flows in the desired direction and doesn't interfere with other machines.
4. Surround the waterwheel with blocks to create a clear pathway for the flowing water.

Once the waterwheel is properly set up, it will start spinning, indicating its functionality. You can connect additional shafts to the waterwheel to power other machines and gears. Utilizing the mechanical press, you can process materials such as iron to create sheets, which will be useful for future crafting recipes.

Demonstrating the Functionality of the Waterwheel and Mechanical Press

Now that your waterwheel and mechanical press are in operation, you can witness their functionality. Place some iron underneath the mechanical press, and it will automatically process the iron into iron sheets. These sheets can be utilized in various crafting recipes, allowing you to progress further in the mod.
