Redstone addition (rewrite)

---

Redstone Additions expands vanilla redstone with logic gates, automation machines, storage, sensors, wireless signaling, chunk loading, multiblocks, and liquid/gas/electric transport networks.

It also goes beyond redstone: jetpacks that fit onto any chestplate, enchant crafting that gambles items on an enchanting table, generators that regrow their own material, and ender links that move items, fluids, power and players between distant places.

All systems run as a pure datapack using marker entities and function-driven runtime logic. No mods required.

Version Compatibility

Supported: Minecraft 1.21.9 – 26.2 (data pack formats 88 – 107).

The pack declares and loads across that whole span. Exactly one thing inside it genuinely changes shape: format 102 (26.2-snapshot-3) rewrote entity predicates into component-map form, so ra:is_sneaking — which gates the wrench's shift action, the goggles' tinker action and the Redstone Remote's channel prompt — needs both spellings. The pack ships both: the base file uses the pre-102 form and overlay_102/ carries the component-map form, applied automatically from 26.2-snapshot-3 onward. Nothing else in the pack touches a feature that broke between 88 and 107 — no filtered loot function, no contents dynamic entry, no renamed game rules, no special crafting recipes.

Earlier versions are not supported, but most of the pack does not actually need 1.21.9 — the hard floor is the pack.mcmeta schema. If you edit pack.mcmeta to a lower pack_format and drop min_format/max_format, this is what breaks and when:

• 1.21.9 — Nothing in the content itself — only the min_format/max_format fields, which that version introduced
  
• 1.21.5 — Item Pipe filters, which identify their item frame by block_pos
  
• 1.21.2 — Almost every item's appearance and identity (item_model, consumable, component removal)
  
• 1.20.5 — Setting the Redstone Remote's channel (copy_custom_data)
  
• 1.20.2 — Everything — the pack is built on macro functions and return run
  

So in practice the content runs on 1.21.5+ with only the pipe filters missing, and on 1.21.2+ in a degraded state. None of that is declared or supported.

I recommend using Bundles Beyond for better bundle previews.

Development Setup

This project uses Beet to build the datapack from source.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
  
• Git
  

Quick Start

1. Clone the Repository


git clone https://github.com/AnCarsenat/Redstone-Additions.git
cd Redstone-Additions
git checkout beet_rewrite


2. Set Up the Virtual Environment

Navigate to the redstone_additions/ directory and create a Python virtual environment:


cd redstone_additions
python3 -m venv .venv


3. Activate the Virtual Environment

On Linux/macOS:


source .venv/bin/activate


On Windows (CMD):


.venv\Scripts\activate.bat


On Windows (PowerShell):


.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1


4. Install Dependencies


pip install -r requirements.txt


5. Link to Your Minecraft World

Use beet's link command to connect to your Minecraft world. Specify the path to your Minecraft installation and the world name:


beet link --minecraft /path/to/minecraft <world_name>


Example with PrismLauncher:


beet link --minecraft "~/.local/share/PrismLauncher/instances/26.2 Fabric/minecraft" DevWorld


This creates a symbolic link between the built datapack and your world's datapacks folder.

6. Build and Test

Build the datapack from source:


beet build


The compiled datapack will be generated in the build/ directory and automatically linked to your world.

To enable auto-rebuild when you make changes, use watch mode:


beet watch


Then use /reload in-game to apply changes.

Development Workflow

1. Navigate to the redstone_additions/ directory
   
2. Ensure the virtual environment is activated: source .venv/bin/activate
   
3. Edit files in the src/ directory
   
4. Use beet watch for automatic rebuilding on file changes
   
5. Use /reload in-game to apply changes immediately

Installation

Option A (Modrinth)

1. Download the latest .zip from Modrinth.
   
2. Place it in .minecraft/saves/<your_world>/datapacks/.
   
3. Run /reload.
   

Option B (GitHub)


git clone https://github.com/AnCarsenat/Redstone-Additions.git


Copy redstone_additions into your world datapacks/ directory, then run /reload.

Starter command:


/function ra:give_all_items
