This datapack I've been working on for a few weeks adds a new redstone component into the game which enables you to remotely activate redstone using a handheld remote. It in theory should work on multiplayer, but I haven't tested it quite yet.

Crafting
You can create a receiver by throwing 3 iron blocks, an observer, and a comparator on the ground. ("floor crafting" inspired by BlueCommander) Throw 3 iron ingots, a stone button, and a comparator on the ground to create a remote.

Placing and Breaking
Right-click with the receiver wherever you want to place it just like a normal block and mine it with an axe just like a normal block. (placing mechanics and concepts inspired by Stevertus)

GUI
Right click on the receiver to open the GUI (menu). You can adjust the frequency of the receiver by clicking on the increase and decrease buttons. Put a remote inside the remote slot in order to set the remote's frequency to the same frequency as the receiver. The receiver GUI also has online and offline buttons. When the receiver is offline, it is unable to be activated even when a remote on the same frequency is clicked.

Remote
Right-clicking a remote will activate all online receivers on the same frequency as the remote.


If you found this explanation confusing, view either the official video guide or some same gameplay of the datapack, which can both be found below in the order they were listed.

The download link takes you to a MediaFire folder. Make sure you install both the datapack AND the resource pack for it to properly work.
