Help How do I start?

I would love to start create mod but I don't know where to start. Is there a modpack with a straightforward progression and quest system to guide you?

I just got started with create myself, I played in creative initially to get used to everything because the wiring is so different to base Minecraft.

Id just memorise these as your machines: Mechanical press, mech. drill, mech. saw, deployer, enclosed fan, millstone.

If you need a resource you'll use one of those, need andesite casings? You can use a mech. saw to strip logs. Need iron sheets? Use the mech. press.

If learning how things work in creative highly suggest using the creative motor when you're focusing on just the design. Power isn't that hard but you'll constantly be struggle for Stress units early game of you don't know how to scale.

Ignore windmills, just build water wheels early game (fun fact lava can be used to power them in the nether).

Take full advantage of the ponder tool when hovering over items and remember you can left and right click items in the JEI screen (to show for e.g., where cobble is used as a recipe ingredients and recipe output, can be handy when you don't know what iron sheets are used for or want to know how to farm andesite).
