About this project

What does Redstone Debugger add?

Redstone Debugger

Understand your circuits instead of rebuilding them. A lightweight Minecraft redstone debugging assistant for Minecraft Forge.

Install on both client and server. This is not client-only.

Look at the world, see the problem

  • G toggles inspection mode; H inspects or refreshes your target.
  • Redstone dust displays actual server signal strength, with green, yellow and red outlines.
  • Normal and sticky pistons: immovable blocks, the 12-block push limit and vanilla slime/honey movement participants.
  • Repeaters: input, output, delay, direction and side-lock state.
  • Comparators: mode, main input, side input and real output.
  • Hoppers: redstone locks, empty inventory and blocked or missing output inventories.
  • J requests upstream topology hints within 32 blocks. K requests a nearby component snapshot.

Compact HUD and vanilla-style block outlines; no extra menus, items or blocks. Chinese and English supported.

Vanilla friendly

No automatic repair, building, redstone changes or background world scans. Server-calculated results go only to the requesting player. Markers expire after five seconds by default. Distance, scan budgets, duration, outlines, HUD and optional particles are configurable in TOML files.

Results are snapshots. Press H to refresh. Red dust means zero signal, which can be intentional. Tracing follows existing topology and does not fully simulate timing, quasi-connectivity or infer missing wire across arbitrary gaps. Extended pistons are reported as extended; retraction timing is not simulated.

MIT licensed. Rebind keys in the normal Controls screen if other mods also use G.
