Create: Labor Rush

Create: Labor Rush

Boost with a Lead or Bell - now with enchanted bells, worker rebellions and 19 achievements

An addon for Create: Villager Labor that lets you motivate villagers to work at incredible speeds. Use a Lead on a single worker, or ring a Bell to boost everyone nearby.

New in v2.0.1: in-game graphical config with server/admin sync, custom-model hats (struggle tall hat and capitalist hat), a 4x3 slogan painting, and Russian localisation.

Version Compatibility

Requires Create: Villager Labor 1.4.0 or newer. Available for Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.1.

How It Works

• Lead (Normal) - left-click a seated worker with a Lead to give them a "Work" effect for 90 seconds.
• Lead + Fire Aspect I - left-click with a Fire Aspect I Lead to activate Work II, processing 32 items per batch.
• Lead + Fire Aspect II - left-click with a Fire Aspect II Lead to activate Work III, processing 64 items per batch.
• Lead + Channeling - left-click a worker, then Shift + Left-click to unleash the Lightning 5-Whip: a 5-block AoE chain strike with a brand-new lightning effect (beam, burst, shockwave, arcing current).
• See it in action: Lightning 5-Whip (bilibili)
• Bell / Desk Bell - right-click a Bell or Desk Bell to motivate all seated workers within 16 blocks at once. Enchanted bells work too.
• Enchanted Bells - enchant a Bell with Fire Aspect or Channeling on an anvil, place it, and every ring triggers the enchantment. Effects are saved to the block and persist across world restarts; middle-click to copy an enchanted bell instantly.

Tip: leads can be enchanted using an anvil and an enchanted book.

What It Does

Workers under the "Work" effect blaze through recipes at maximum speed:

Batch Processing

Total cycle time drops from roughly 1-2 seconds to just 2 ticks (0.1s) - ideal for high-throughput production lines.

Worker Rebellion (new in v2.0)

Push your workers too hard and they might just snap. This optional system is disabled by default - enable it in the config if you want chaos.

• Contagion - one angry worker can spread the rebellion to the whole workshop
• Rebel leader - rebellions have a leader (tracked with a boss bar), and rebels buff up while rebelling
• Property damage - rebels smash nearby machines (configurable)
• Emerald negotiation - right-click the leader and pay up to end the strike peacefully
• Maid Uprising - Touhou Little Maid maids auto-equip weapons and shout 22 Touhou-themed battle cries (gracefully skipped if the maid mod is not installed)

How to Quell a Rebellion

enableRebellion only controls whether new rebellions can start. An ongoing rebellion keeps running.

Balancing - Haste Makes Waste

Working at breakneck speed has its risks: items processed under "Work" have a configurable chance of being destroyed on completion.

When destruction triggers, only a portion of the batch is lost (default 20%-50%), not the entire batch.

Example: processing 64 items with Work III gives a 15% chance to trigger; if triggered, 13-32 items are lost (random roll) and the rest are produced normally.

Config is editable in-game via Mods -> Create: Labor Rush -> Config (applies instantly), or directly in config/createlaborrush-common.toml.

On multiplayer the server's config is authoritative: only admins (OP, or the singleplayer/LAN host) can change it, and their changes are synced to everyone else. Server values are never written into a client's local config file.
