This addon adds new blocks, items and mechanics to the mod Create.

Included mechanics

  • Optical Source: emit different types of beams based on the rotational force applied
  • Optical Receptor: transform the received beam into rotational force based on its properties
  • Optical Sensor: emit redstone signal based on the incident beam properties
  • Mirror: reflect the beam perpendicularly
  • Polarizing Filter: polarize the beam (duh)
  • Beam Splitter Cube: split the beam in two and polarize the resultant beams perpendicularly
  • Beam Condenser: condense up to three beams into one combining its properties
  • Beam Focuser: new type of recipe based on beam characteristics
  • Thermal Optical Source: similar to a normal source but with high su usage based on fluid aplications
  • Hologram Display: display text or items in a hologram style
  • Beam Reader: display the properties of the incident beam

* Beam Modulator: use it to comunicate through light

Different ways to generate light

Produce eletromagnetic waves with rotational force


New Receptor States

Transform eletromagnetic waves back to rotational force


Retextured Optical Sensor

A way to light ambients with style


New Components
