🚫 Banned Items – Create Server Balance

These items have been disabled to preserve the integrity and progression of Create-based automation. Most of them belong to ComputerCraft or Advanced Peripherals, and allow bypassing gameplay mechanics or automating beyond what Create normally enables.

📦 Banned Items List

🐢 computercraft:turtle_normal

🐢 computercraft:turtle_advanced

Turtles are programmable robots that can move, mine, build, and interact with blocks autonomously.
❌ Reason: They can completely replace Create contraptions and bypass physical constraints.

🧠 advancedperipherals:husbandry_automata_core

Automates breeding and animal interactions.
❌ Reason: Allows passive automation of farms without using Create's mechanics (e.g. mechanical harvesters, deployers).

🧠 advancedperipherals:end_automata_core

Automates end-game tasks.
❌ Reason: Overpowered for progression; bypasses resource gating and late-game effort.

🧠 advancedperipherals:weak_automata_core

General-purpose automation core.
❌ Reason: Still provides too much scripting control, automating actions that should require machines.

📦 advancedperipherals:inventory_manager

Allows programmatic access to multiple inventories.
❌ Reason: Skips logistic challenges that Create solves with belts, funnels, and mechanical arms.

📡 advancedperipherals:geo_scanner

Scans blocks underground.
❌ Reason: Breaks exploration; provides x-ray-like capability that bypasses the need for prospecting with Create.

🏰 advancedperipherals:colony_integrator

Integrates with MineColonies.
❌ Reason: Not useful in this context, and may allow automation not aligned with Create gameplay.

💾 advancedperipherals:nbt_storage

Stores arbitrary NBT data.
❌ Reason: Can be exploited for custom item/data storage beyond normal gameplay.

🖥 computercraft:computer_command

A creative-mode only computer with full command access.
❌ Reason: Complete server control via commands — creative-only item.

🧱 advancedperipherals:chunk_controller

Forces chunk loading.
❌ Reason: Breaks Create’s intended chunk behavior, creates lag and unintended automation while offline.

⚡ advancedperipherals:energy_detector

Detects energy flow programmatically.
❌ Reason: Bypasses energy management systems (e.g., rotation or stress-based power in Create).

🧠 advancedperipherals:overpowered_end_automata_core

🧠 advancedperipherals:overpowered_husbandry_automata_core

🧠 advancedperipherals:overpowered_weak_automata_core

Same as previous automata cores, but stronger versions.
❌ Reason: Extremely OP — gives full automation power with little effort or risk.

🌐 advancedperipherals:me_bridge

Bridges AE2 storage system with a computer.
❌ Reason: Not relevant in Create-only context, and bypasses physical inventory management.

🧩 advancedperipherals:peripheral_casing

Used to craft other peripherals.
❌ Reason: Core component to make OP items listed above.

✅ Philosophy

The Create mod encourages mechanical creativity, problem-solving, and visible automation. These banned items:

• Automate too much with too little.

• Break progression and make Create machines irrelevant.

• Are often invisible and too efficient, reducing the satisfaction of designing contraptions.
