About this project

What does CraftNet Telecom add?

📡 CraftNet Telecom

The most complete telecommunications infrastructure mod for Minecraft 1.20.1.
Build real mobile networks, place towers, configure routers — all from a smartphone in your pocket.

⚠️ Early release — mostly stable with minor known bugs.Some features may not work or be bugged. Active development.


🗼 Cell Towers

Block Tech Range
2G Tower GSM 1200 blocks
3G Tower UMTS 1000 blocks
4G Tower LTE 600 blocks
4G+ Tower LTE-A 600 blocks
LTE Tower LTE 600 blocks
5G Tower NR Sub-6 200 blocks
5G+ Tower NR mmWave 100 blocks
VoLTE Tower VoLTE 600 blocks

Every tower is fully configurable — operator, speed cap, frequency band (700 MHz rural vs 3.5 GHz urban), active/offline toggle.


📶 WiFi & Mesh

  • WE Router — WiFi 5, 35 block range
  • Mitrastar HGU — WiFi 7, 64 block range, up to 5000 Mbps
  • Nokia WiFi Beacon 1 — WiFi 6E Mesh, chain up to 10 nodes, 64 blocks per node

How to set up a mesh network:

  1. Hold the Telecom Wrench, right-click the Nokia Beacon near your router → becomes Master node
  2. Right-click each additional Beacon → joins as Satellite node
  3. Keep nodes within 40 blocks for full speed (>40 blocks = −30% penalty)

🛰️ Starlink

Place the Starlink Dish with clear sky above — the mod checks every block upward to build height. Works globally regardless of tower range.


👥 Operators

7 pre-configured operators — fully editable in-game or via commands:

🇲🇩 Onedot · Orange · TM · MCV · Moldtelecom · StarNet · Unite


💳 SIM Cards & Plans

  • Physical SIM items per operator — insert into phone from inventory
  • Each SIM has a generated phone number, data balance, minutes, SMS quota
  • Prepay and Postpay billing
  • Roaming — use your SIM on any network
 

📱 Smartphones

Three phone models, each as a usable item:

  • 🍎 iPhone 15
  • 📱 Samsung Galaxy S26
  • 🤖 Google Pixel 10a

📲 Phone Apps

  • Signal — live bars, operator, tech, speeds, ping, frequency, roaming, environment (outdoor / indoor / underground)
  • Speed Test — animated Ping → Download → Upload → grade A+/A/B/C/D
  • WiFi — connect/disconnect from nearby routers
  • Coverage Map — pan & zoom radar, all towers relative to your position, colored by operator
  • Hotspot — share your mobile data with nearby players
  • Data Usage — MB used, remaining quota, daily/monthly stats
  • Signal Scan — list all towers in range with full details
  • + many more

🚨 Emergency Alert System (EAS)

  • Place the Emergency Alert Block to set up a broadcast station
  • Tap SOS in the phone to send a distress signal
  • Server-wide emergency broadcasts with visual overlay on all players' screens

📶 Signal Simulation

  • Distance — degrades realistically with range
  • Environment — outdoor 100% · indoor 60% · underground 10%
  • Frequency — 700 MHz = ×1.5 range · 3.5 GHz = full speed

 

📦 Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.20.1
  • Forge 47.2.20+
  • Java 17

Inspired by real telecom infrastructure in Moldova & Romania 🇲🇩🇷🇴
