About
Create: Above and Beyond is a challenge-focused modpack that turns Create-powered engineering into a long technological campaign, with space travel and a flight to the moon as its central objective. Players work through roughly fifty inventions, building increasingly large automated factories to produce the components that ultimately feed a Data Centre and program their spaceship’s Guidance computer. The quest-driven progression moves from a deliberate early game into faster automation, with stages that can vary by world-generation seed. Its automation challenges go beyond routine item processing, combining conveyors with crystal mixing and washing, controlled explosions, colour shifting, lasers aimed at minecarts, and computational tasks. The pack adds exclusive blocks, items, fluids, recipes, and scripted interactions between machines and materials, while changing the presentation and roles of mods including Ender Storage, Advanced Rocketry, Pretty Pipes, Pipez, Metal Barrels, and Water Strainer. Trading offers an alternative to gathering every resource: errands and professions earn coins that can be spent through the quest interface’s market on resources, artifacts, and building materials, with support for automated shipping and trading. Alchemical research and transmutation can reveal secret recipes specific to a world's generation seed. The pack also reshapes the look of some revised and added content using visual styles drawn from included mods such as Create, Thermal, Supplementaries, Applied Energistics 2, and Chisel.

Security
No harmful code found in the mods we checked
We checked 135 of its 136 mods and the files in the pack itself, without running them.
Why we show this: a modpack installs the files of its mods, and each mod runs on your computer like any program. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: a modpack has no grade of its own, and each mod's result counts in that mod's grade.
How we checked
- Its projects136 mods
- Not checked yet1 mod
- Files in the pack itself431 settings files, 10 scripts, 1 resource, shader or data pack, 293 other files, no mod jars.
Privacy
Why we show this: a modpack runs the code of its mods, and 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
- Go online onlyTheir code contacts a web address, for example to check for updates. We found nothing it sends about you.10 mods
- Crash reports or usage dataTheir author declares crash reports or usage data on Modrinth, or such a service is named in their files. Reading their code did not show it.1 mod
- Send nothingTheir code contacts no web address.124 mods
- Not read yetWe have not read their code yet.1 mod
AI
AI used in 7 of the 92 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in them, or their authors declared AI content.
44 mods are not checked yet.
No sign so far that AI was used to make the pack itself
We looked for AI tools in its description and code history and found none.
We have not read its changelogs, files and images yet.
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.Not on Modrinth.
- 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
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Not read yet
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Not read yet
