[hr]

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: [b]jetpacks[/b] that fit onto any chestplate, [b]enchant crafting[/b] that gambles items on an enchanting table, [b]generators[/b] that regrow their own material, and [b]ender links[/b] 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.

[size=18][b]Version Compatibility[/b][/size]

[b]Supported: Minecraft 1.21.9 – 26.2[/b] (data pack formats 88 – 107).

The pack declares and loads across that whole span. Exactly one thing inside it genuinely changes shape: format 102 ([b]26.2-snapshot-3[/b]) rewrote entity predicates into component-map form, so [b]ra:is_sneaking[/b] — 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 [b]overlay_102/[/b] carries the component-map form, applied automatically from [b]26.2-snapshot-3[/b] onward. Nothing else in the pack touches a feature that broke between 88 and 107 — no [b]filtered[/b] loot function, no [b]contents[/b] dynamic entry, no renamed game rules, no special crafting recipes.

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

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

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.

[b]Every recipe in the pack is on one page in the [url=https://ancarsenat.github.io/Redstone-Additions/recipe-atlas/]Recipe Atlas[/url][/b] — listed A to Z and grouped by module.

[size=18][b]Development Setup[/b][/size]

This project uses [b][url=https://github.com/mcbeet/beet]Beet[/url][/b] to build the datapack from source.

[size=14][b]Prerequisites[/b][/size]

[list]
[*]Python 3.10 or higher
[*]Git
[/list]

[size=14][b]Quick Start[/b][/size]

[b]1. Clone the Repository[/b]

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

[b]2. Set Up the Virtual Environment[/b]

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

[code]
cd redstone_additions
python3 -m venv .venv
[/code]

[b]3. Activate the Virtual Environment[/b]

[b]On Linux/macOS:[/b]

[code]
source .venv/bin/activate
[/code]

[b]On Windows (CMD):[/b]

[code]
.venv\Scripts\activate.bat
[/code]

[b]On Windows (PowerShell):[/b]

[code]
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
[/code]

[b]4. Install Dependencies[/b]

[code]
pip install -r requirements.txt
[/code]

[b]5. Link to Your Minecraft World[/b]

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

[code]
beet link --minecraft /path/to/minecraft <world_name>
[/code]

[b]Example with PrismLauncher:[/b]

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

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

[b]6. Build and Test[/b]

Build the datapack from source:

[code]
beet build
[/code]

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

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

[code]
beet watch
[/code]

Then use [b]/reload[/b] in-game to apply changes.

[size=14][b]Development Workflow[/b][/size]

[list=1]
[*]Navigate to the [b]redstone_additions/[/b] directory
[*]Ensure the virtual environment is activated: [b]source .venv/bin/activate[/b]
[*]Edit files in the [b]src/[/b] directory
[*]Use [b]beet watch[/b] for automatic rebuilding on file changes
[*]Use [b]/reload[/b] in-game to apply changes immediately
[/list]

[hr]

[size=18][b]Installation[/b][/size]

[size=14][b]Option A (Modrinth)[/b][/size]

[list=1]
[*]Download the latest [b].zip[/b] from [url=https://modrinth.com/datapack/redstone-additions]Modrinth[/url].
[*]Place it in [b].minecraft/saves/<your_world>/datapacks/[/b].
[*]Run [b]/reload[/b].
[/list]

[size=14][b]Option B (GitHub)[/b][/size]

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

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

Starter command:

[code]
/function ra:give_all_items
[/code]
