If you've ever built a Create mod factory only to find your crushing wheels randomly switching between different outputs — one moment crushing cobblestone into gravel, the next into something from a different addon — you know the frustration. That's exactly the problem Create Configurable Machine Outputs solves.
This lightweight addon lets you take control of your machinery automation. As the mod's description puts it, it helps you "choose which recipe your millstones, crushing wheels and presses use when multiple addons create conflicting recipes, ensuring predictable and reliable automated systems."

How Recipe Conflicts Happen
When you install multiple Create addons (like Create: New Age, Create: Crafts & Additions, or Create: Misc & Things), they often add their own recipes for the same machine. Your millstone might be able to crush wheat into flour from one mod and also into dough from another. Without intervention, the game picks one at random or cycles between them, breaking your carefully planned production lines.

What This Mod Does
Once installed, the mod adds a simple interface to each supported machine. You can:
- View all available recipes for that machine from every installed mod.
- Select exactly one recipe to use, locking the machine to that output.
- Change the selection at any time without breaking the machine.
No more surprise outputs. Your crushing wheel will crush exactly what you tell it to, every time.
Supported Machines

The mod currently works with:
- Millstone — perfect for automated flour, dough, or dust production.
