Redstone Circuit

Redstone Circuit

Redstone Circuit lets you store redstone components inside a block. The block carries the component and still emits and accepts redstone exactly as that component would. Wear the Redstone Goggles to see what is inside.

FEATURES

• Components inside blocks - dust, repeaters, comparators, torches, levers and buttons are placed with shift-right-click and taken back out with an empty hand.
• Vanilla behaviour - emission, weak and strong power, delays and signal loss follow the vanilla rules. Nothing about vanilla redstone is changed.
• Any face - a component can be mounted on a block's top or bottom face as well as its sides.
• Redstone Goggles - worn on the head, no armour value. Blocks holding redstone turn translucent and show the component, its facing, its delay and every connection.
• Redstone Wrench - pick a component, then shift-right-click a neighbour to lock that line and cut the rest. The neighbour needs no redstone of its own, so a piston, a lamp or a plain block can be the other end.
• Superconducting Redstone Dust - used like redstone dust, but it loses nothing over distance.
• Retaining Repeater - delays like a repeater, but passes on the strength it was given instead of restoring fifteen.
• Double Repeater and Double Retaining Repeater - every delay setting lasts twice as long.
• Weather Detector - an empty-hand right-click cycles clear / rain / thunder; it outputs fifteen while the weather matches, and needs no view of the sky.
• Rotation Rod - turns a component's input side to the face you clicked, then its output side, then back.
• Settings by hand - an empty-hand right-click steps a repeater's delay, swaps a comparator's mode and cycles the weather detector.

COMPATIBILITY

Actively compatible with Create, Create: Aeronautics and Jade. None of them is required.

The Create and Create: Aeronautics support is in the NeoForge build only - components stored in a block that a contraption or a physics structure carries keep working while it moves. The Fabric build does not include it. Jade is supported by both builds.

REQUIREMENTS

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.100 or newer (21.1.250 or newer recommended), no other mods needed
• or Fabric Loader 0.15.11 or newer with Fabric API
• Client and server, both required

NOTES

• Everything is stored in the world save's own data, so removing the mod leaves the world intact.
• Settings live in config/redstonecircuit-common.toml.
• Known limitation, fast clocks: solve notifications are coalesced to the tick boundary (solverCoalesceNotifications, default true). A component clamped from both ends - a comparator in subtract mode with a run of ordinary dust beside its block feeding back - cannot fall to 0; it settles into a band (7 and 8 inside the block, 6 and 7 on the dust outside) and never reaches 15, where vanilla reaches 0. Setting solverCoalesceNotifications to false restores the sub-tick behaviour, at the cost of dozens of solve rounds per tick, stutter on large machines and possible "did not settle" warnings (bounded - it never hangs).
• Deliberate: pushing a block that holds redstone away with a piston leaves a residual signal behind.
