Which Minecraft version and loader should a Create server run?

Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge. That is where Create gets its updates: 6.0.10 came out on 21 April 2026 and needs NeoForge 21.1.219 or newer and Java 21. The Create team skipped 1.21.2 to 1.21.11 and says it is working on a port to 26.1, without a date. For 1.20.1 the last version is 6.0.8 from 2 November 2025, on Forge 47.1.3 or newer with Java 17. You can pick the Java version in the Startup tab of the panel.

Can I run Create on Fabric?

Yes, on Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.19.2 or 1.18.2, but not on 1.21.1. The Fabric version is a port kept up by a separate team, the Fabricators of Create, and it needs Fabric API. Its newest release is 6.0.8.1 from 2 December 2025, for 1.20.1; 1.19.2 and 1.18.2 only have older 0.5.1 beta builds. Create Aeronautics is NeoForge only, so for Minecraft 1.21.1 or Aeronautics, use NeoForge.

What is Create Aeronautics, and what does my server need for it?

An add-on for Create that lets you build airships, planes, hot air balloons, cars and other vehicles that move with physics. It came out in April 2026 for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. The newest version, 1.3.2 from 29 August 2026, needs Create 6.0.10 or newer, the Sable physics library 2.x and NeoForge 21.1.228 or newer, on the server and on every player's game. All of Create Aeronautics, Create Ultimate Selection 2 and ATM10 Aeronautics already include it.

Do my players need Create installed too?

Yes, in the same version as the server. Create marks its network traffic with its own version number, and NeoForge refuses the connection when a player has no Create or a different version. Create Aeronautics and Sable are also needed on both sides. With a modpack, everyone installs the same pack version as the server.

How do I keep big contraptions from lagging the server?

Moving contraptions, trains and Aeronautics vehicles are all simulated on the server, so they load its CPU. On a public server, lower maxBlocksMoved (2048 by default) and the train limits in config/create-server.toml, leave Sable's sub_level_substeps_per_tick at its default of 2, and use spark to see which mods and which parts of their code take the most tick time. The CPU is shared on all our plans; Premium in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Canada gets 600 to 800% CPU (6 to 8 vCores) under fair use.

Which region should I pick?

The one closest to most of your players. We run Create capable servers in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Canada, USA (California and Virginia), Singapore, India and Australia. The plan selector measures your ping to each region and suggests the fastest.

Create brings trains, factories and moving contraptions to Minecraft, and Create Aeronautics turns them into airships, planes and cars. Pick a plan sized from the packs' own server files, run it on NeoForge and Java 21, and play from the region closest to your group.

Pick by what you run

Which plan fits your Create server?

Create on its own is light: one mod, with its Flywheel and Ponder libraries inside the jar. The big Create packs are heavier. All of Create Aeronautics, All of Create and Create Ultimate Selection 2 put 179 to 329 mods on the server, and all three server packs set a 4GB Java heap. That is also the default of ServerPackCreator, the tool all three were built with. Java needs memory on top of the heap, so a Create pack starts at 6GB and we suggest 8GB. None of them publish player counts.

Moving contraptions, train networks and Aeronautics vehicles are simulated by the server, so a big Create world loads the CPU as well as the RAM. The CPU is shared on every plan. Premium in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Canada gets 600 to 800% CPU (6 to 8 vCores) under fair use, on a Ryzen 9 7950X or 9950X depending on stock. Standard plans run on DDR4, Premium on DDR5.

CPU matters

Minecraft cares about single-thread speed. In the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Canada, Premium runs Ryzen 9 7950X or 9950X (depending on stock) and Standard Ryzen 9 3900X-class. California and Virginia run the 7950X3D, Singapore and Australia the 5950X, and India the 3900X-class. The CPU is shared on every plan.

Protection choices

DDoS protection is included on every plan in every region. Premium and the USA locations run behind Cloudflare Magic Transit; Standard, Singapore, Australia and India use standard protection. There is no paid add-on.

Panel included

Console, files, backups, schedules, startup flags, and sub-users are ready.

Setup

From order to first join

Step 1
Pick 4GB or more and a region
4GB for Create and a few addons, 8GB for a Create pack. Your server and control panel login arrive by email after payment.
Step 2
Install NeoForge, then Create or a pack
Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 from the panel: Create needs 21.1.219 or newer, Aeronautics 21.1.228 or newer. Upload Create and your addons to the mods folder over SFTP, or unpack a pack's server pack and upload its mods, config and other folders. Set Java 21, start once, accept the EULA in eula.txt and start again.
Step 3
Match the versions
Players install the same pack version in the CurseForge app, or the same Create, Sable and Aeronautics versions as the server. A different Create version cannot join.

Running the server

Things worth knowing before you start a Create server

Contraption limits live in create-server.toml

maxBlocksMoved caps how many blocks a piston, bearing or other mover can carry: 2048 by default. Trains are held to 20 bogeys and a station track of 128 blocks. On NeoForge the file is config/create-server.toml, and a copy in world/serverconfig overrides it for that world. On a public server, lower these before the first big builds go up.

Trains move even where nobody is

Create moves every train on each server tick, also on lines where no player is around. A big network of scheduled trains therefore costs server time even when nobody is online.

Aeronautics needs Create 6.0.10 and Sable

Create Aeronautics 1.3.2 needs Create 6.0.10 or newer, Sable 2.x and NeoForge 21.1.228 or newer, on the server and on every player's game. Its jar holds three parts: Simulated for assembly and physics tools, Aeronautics for flying machines and Offroad for wheels and land vehicles. Sable's own page warns that it is prone to compatibility issues with other mods, so add extra mods one at a time.

Vehicle movement can travel over UDP

Sable opens a UDP channel on the server's own port and sends vehicle movement to players over it. If a player's UDP traffic does not get through, Sable moves that player back to the normal connection. Setting disable_udp_pipeline to true in config/sable-common.toml turns UDP off; Sable notes that vehicles then have more latency.

Find what costs tick time

spark shows which mods and which parts of their code take the most tick time, and which chunks hold the most entities. Create Ultimate Selection 2 ships it, and it only has to be on the server. Sable's sub_level_substeps_per_tick in config/sable-server.toml is 2 by default, and Sable says higher values are significantly more performance intensive, so leave it there.

No backup mod in the packs

The server packs of All of Create Aeronautics, All of Create and Create Ultimate Selection 2 include no backup mod, and All of Create Aeronautics alone had 18 versions between 19 April and 2 October 2026. Take a backup from the panel before every update, and read the changelog first.

: Create on its own is light. It is one mod, with its Flywheel and Ponder libraries inside the jar, so Create and a handful of addons fit on our 4GB Standard plan, which we size for light modpacks of up to 50 mods. The big Create packs are heavier: All of Create Aeronautics, All of Create and Create Ultimate Selection 2 have 179 to 329 mods, and their server packs set a 4GB Java heap. Java needs memory on top of that, so a pack starts at 6GB and we suggest 8GB. None of them publish player counts; more players and bigger contraptions need more.
