Destroy

⚠️ Important Compatibility Information

Destroy is currently incompatible with the latest version of JEI. This issue will be fixed in version 1.0 (or possibly in an earlier update). For now, you must use JEI version 15.3.0.5 or older.

🧪 Next-Level Chemical System

Destroy is an expansion for the Create mod that adds completely new chemicals and processes focused on plastic production. Build complex chemical plants, manufacture powerful explosives, or even dive into the world of chemical experiments — but be careful: you'll need to control your impact on the environment and your own health!

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

🔬 Unique Chemical System

The main feature of Destroy is a complete system for simulating chemistry at the molecular level. Unlike other technical mods that simply add machines and recipes, Destroy actually simulates chemical processes. 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.

🚀 Expanding Create's Capabilities

The mod also adds numerous features that expand Create's existing systems: new kinetic components, processing machines, and many "curiosities" with unique abilities.

⚠️ Content Warning

Destroy contains light themes of violence, alcohol, and substance abuse.

The mod includes real synthesis pathways for actual, dangerous chemicals. Do not attempt to recreate anything you see in Destroy in real life. Many syntheses intentionally contain errors and lack important details, so their implementation in real conditions will be unsuccessful. Practicing chemistry in any form is dangerous for you and others.

The chemical simulation includes thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, a deep and easily expandable system of functional group reactions (which enables the "potentially infinite" concept), and a vast number of built-in common molecules and reactions. Although more complex aspects like non-ideal gases and quantum effects have been excluded, a basic understanding of chemistry is recommended. Without this, you may feel lost.

🎮 Development Status

Destroy is in open beta. Absolutely everything could change (textures, gameplay, and much more), and there's still a lot to come! So take what you see with a grain of skepticism.

💡 Development Philosophy

Considerable attention to detail went into choosing what to include in Destroy and what not to include. Instead of packing the mod with millions of specialized, single-use substances that clutter storage systems, or hundreds of very similar but not quite identical machines that are difficult to understand, compromises were found between scientific accuracy and gaming experience.

With some specific exceptions, every intermediate substance added by Destroy should have: 1) at least two uses and 2) at least two methods of obtaining. Final product recipes are complex, yes — but not pointlessly complex. The chemical system excludes some complexities that exist in real life, but you'll still need to think about thermodynamics, synthesis pathways, and competing reactions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this mod? Tutorials and expanded in-game guides will appear in a future update when the mod becomes stable and fully developed. For now, you can seek help on Reddit or Discord.

Questions related to the following topics will be deleted:

• Will there be a port to version X? No.
• Fabric? Not soon. Possibly never.

📦 Use in Modpacks

Destroy can be used in any modpack with proper attribution. Link to the main page, not CurseForge.

Destroy is designed as an intermediate step toward more advanced technology mods. It's recommended that modpack creators change recipes for items from later mods to include Plastics, since the Plastics introduced by Destroy intentionally have limited applications within Destroy itself.

It's also recommended to disable or reduce the generation of rare minerals featured in Destroy (such as Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium) in other mods for balance reasons.
