About
Create: Vintage Improvements expands Create with production machinery and material-processing recipes, adding rods, wires, sheets and springs that can also be made from materials supplied by supported mods such as Ad Astra, Mekanism, Thermal Expansion and Tinkers’ Construct. Its machines cover distinct processes: the Belt Grinder polishes items subject to configurable speed limits, the Spring Coiling Machine makes springs, and the Compressor uses a basin for vacuumizing or pressurizing recipes that may consume or produce fluids. A Vibrating Table processes items and can, when its optional configuration is enabled, unpack storage blocks into materials or vibrate leaves for their drops; a Centrifuge handles recipes with four basins installed. The Curving Press uses interchangeable heads for different shaping recipes, while the Helve Hammer works with anvils for hammering and smithing tables for automated smithing. A Lathe performs turning recipes, with a Recipe Card available to automate recipe selection, and the Laser performs cutting recipes using energy supplied by a compatible mod rather than by Vintage Improvements itself. The addon also adds sulfur processing that leads to sulfuric acid, vanadium materials, copper sulfate that can be used as bone meal, armor-trim options using vanadium and Create materials, and a Redstone Module that lets a Centrifuge or Curving Press output a comparator-readable signal. Its recipes can be customized through modpack recipe systems, and all of the machines support sequenced assembly.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and code history and found none.
We have not read its changelogs yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Nothing found
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
