Redstone Computer

Redstone Computer

Redstone Computer adds a new family of programmable blocks to Minecraft, designed to function like real redstone components: 8-bit computers, bus controllers, I/O extensions, sensors, and display matrices.
The idea behind the mod is simple: to turn redstone into a small computer system that can be played with in Survival mode. Instead of just placing huge logic gates, you can program blocks that read signals around them, process analog values from 0 to 15, move items, control outputs, and communicate with other components.

Features

Redstone Computer
An 8-bit programmable computer. It reads redstone signals on its sides, executes a small program, and writes redstone outputs.

Redstone Controller
A more advanced version of the computer, designed to control networks of machines. It has more memory and serves as the central brain for complex setups.

Redstone Language
REDSTONE_LANGUAGE.md
A simple language inspired by assembly language:
LD A, WEST
EQ A, 15
OUT EAST, A
HALT
It allows you to read ports, write outputs, compare values, use RAM, handle conditions, route items, and create state machines.

I/O Extender
An addressable module that allows you to add multiple outputs or inputs to a circuit. It can be used to control multiple lights, pistons, signal lines, or sub-machines from a single bus.

Display Matrix
A Redstone display capable of receiving data from a controller. It can display characters and use Minecraft colors. It also supports an addressable bus mode for creating serial displays.Rain Detector

A Redstone weather sensor. It detects rain or dry weather depending on its mode, perfect for rituals, automated farms, weather-activated doors, or event-triggered machines.

What You Can Build

With these blocks, you can create:
programmable logic gates;
clocks and sequencers;
state machines;
offering systems with hoppers;
smart sorting circuits;
lamp or piston controllers;
addressable Redstone buses;
small Redstone displays;
weather-triggered ritual machines;
networks of computers that communicate with each other.

Mod Philosophy

This mod does not seek to replace vanilla redstone, but rather to add a “microcomputer” layer to it. The blocks remain dependent on Minecraft signals: they must be powered, connected correctly, and their values are limited to the 0-15 redstone logic.
The goal is to maintain a true Minecraft feel: you wire things up, test them, make mistakes, improve them, and eventually build a real little machine.

Status

The mod is still experimental. The bus systems, display systems, and programmable components are evolving as testing progresses. Feedback, machine ideas, bug reports, and suggestions are welcome.
