Building a Redstone PC with the Create Mod
The Create mod adds a whole new dimension to building complex machines in Minecraft. Let's explore how we can use Create mod components to enhance our Redstone PC!
1. Rotational Power
Replace traditional Redstone power with Create's rotational force:
- Use Water Wheels or Windmills to generate base rotational force
- Transmit power using Shafts and Cogwheels
- Control rotation speed with Gearboxes
[Windmill] -> [Shaft] -> [Cogwheel] -> [Gearbox] -> [Components]
2. Advanced ALU with Mechanical Calculators
Create a more powerful ALU using Create's Mechanical Calculator:
- Set up a Mechanical Calculator for each operation (addition, subtraction, etc.)
- Use Mechanical Belts to input numbers
- Read outputs with Numerical Displays
[Input Belt] -> [Mechanical Calculator] -> [Numerical Display]

[Operation Selector Lever]
3. Memory Using Stationary Bearings
Create a rotating memory system using Stationary Bearings:
- Build a circular structure with blocks representing bits
- Use a Stationary Bearing to rotate the structure
- Read/Write data using Mechanical Pistons

[Mechanical Piston] (Read/Write)
4. I/O with Mechanical Crafters
Use Mechanical Crafters for input and output operations:
- Set up a grid of Mechanical Crafters
- Use different items to represent different inputs
- Process the inputs and output results to chests

5. Control Unit with Sequenced Gearshift
Implement a control unit using Sequenced Gearshifts:
- Set up a series of Sequenced Gearshifts
- Program each gearshift to perform a specific operation
- Use Redstone to trigger the sequence
[Redstone Input] -> [Sequenced Gearshift 1] -> [Sequenced Gearshift 2] -> ...
