December 30. 2022: After much research, testing, and play-time, I have decided to switch this modpack to Forge. This Forge version is more server friendly and I believe more immersive for the "Create" experience.
Create on a Potato PC: Sky Edition - See also the Forge and Fabric Editions
I am excited to release Create on a Potato PC: Sky Edition! Create on a Potato PC is built around the mod, Create and Create Sifting plus some nice quality of life mods for armor, tools, weapons, crafting, storage, and a few more. The Sky Edition continues the Create on a Potato PC series, and is the lightest weight pack in the series. The idea was to make a sky block that is mostly vanilla with only a few mods to enhance the experience.
Playing with the mod, Create makes Minecraft fresh again and this pack--using FTB Quests and the in-game Create on a Potato PC: Sky Edition guide book will lead you through the process of making amazing builds and contraptions! Create Sifting is a Create plugin mod used to sift items and materials from dirt, gravel, and sand. Therefore, Create is not just a part of this modpack, but the path to get things done. If you need an automated vegetable or tree farm, then, Create is what you need. Mob farm? You guessed it: Create! Create is not the only mod in the pack, there are several quality of life mods to help with crafting, powerful armor and weapons, and more! While Create is the major provider for tech, Tom's Simple Storage Mod help with keeping your things organized.
Finally, do a lot of packs out there bog down your PC? This pack aims to cure that by making a pack specifically to run on many Potato PCs.
If you have not seen the mod, Create, then you are in for a treat! (See the video shown below) It offers a whole new way of automation and incredible building possibilities. I made this pack force me to truly immerse myself using Create. As far as tech goes, Create is the go-to mod!
This is a great video showing what Create can do.

IMPORTANT: Open Spoiler for Lag issues - not just this pack but any
If you are having lag issues, please consider trying a different Java runtime (JDK or JRE). This is a December 10, 2022 screenshot of my system. This PC is not the latest powerhouse, but is most definitely not a Potato PC.Using the default OpenJDK bundled with Linux Mint works fine in most situations, but I noticed significant lag when grinding, mixing, or drilling with Create. I thought it was a memory leak, but I watched my F3 screen a lot and found it was not a memory leak issue. I was talking to my sons (senior software engineers), who suggested to try a different JVM. One son (works on AWS team) suggested Amazon Corretto OpenJDK. After changing to Corretto, my game runs smooth as silk.
Other Java Runtimes:
- Amazon Corretto OpenJDK
- Azul
- Oracle
I hope this helps others with lag issues!
