Destroy

Destroy is an extension for the Create mod that introduces new chemicals and processes primarily focused on plastic production. Build complex chemical plants, manufacture powerful explosives, or even engage in illicit activities, but remember: you'll need to monitor the environmental impact of your actions and your own health!

During gameplay, you'll encounter dozens of real-world chemical processes. Thanks to detailed tooltips, JEI integration, and the Ponder system, you can easily transfer real-world chemistry knowledge into Minecraft.

Chemical System

The main feature of Destroy is its comprehensive chemical system. Unlike other technical mods that simply add machines and recipes, here chemistry is simulated at the molecular level. This means there's rarely only one correct way to do something - you're provided with a wide range of reagents that can be combined, transformed, and extracted in virtually infinite ways to create various molecules.

Create Enhancements

The mod also expands existing Create systems by adding new kinetic components, processing machines, and numerous unique "curiosities" with unusual abilities.

Content Warning

Destroy contains mild themes of violence, alcohol, and substance abuse. The mod includes real synthesis pathways for genuinely dangerous chemicals. Do not attempt to replicate anything you see in the game in real life. Many syntheses intentionally contain errors and omit crucial details, so they won't work in reality. Any chemical experiments are dangerous to you and others.

The chemical system includes thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, an expandable system of functional group reactions, and numerous built-in molecules and reactions. Although complex aspects like non-ideal gases and quantum effects have been excluded, a basic understanding of chemistry is recommended to avoid confusion.

Beta Status

Destroy is in open beta testing. Any elements may change - textures, gameplay, and much more. Approach the current version with understanding.

Development Concept

Considerable effort was put into carefully selecting content for Destroy. Instead of cramming the mod with thousands of specialized substances that clutter inventory or hundreds of similar machines that are hard to understand, a balance was struck between scientific accuracy and gaming experience.

Virtually every intermediate substance has at least two uses and two methods of obtaining. Final product recipes are complex but not excessive. The chemical system excludes some real-world complexities, but you'll still need to think about thermodynamics, synthesis pathways, and competing reactions.

Use in Modpacks

Destroy can be used in any modpack with proper attribution. The mod is designed as an intermediate stage between early and advanced technologies. Modpack creators are advised to modify recipes for items from late-game mods to include plastics from Destroy.

For balance, it's also recommended to disable or reduce the generation of rare minerals (platinum, palladium, rhodium) in other mods.
