About this Mod

Minecraft mod for Forge 1.20.1

Announcement

I'm currently developing my own experimental project in Rust, a voxel 3D engine integrating best practices from Minecraft game mods – the TECHPIXEL project. This project is an experiment in using AI in serious development. I invite anyone interested to fork it and code some features.

Description

A simple mod for minecraft 1.20.1 that adds redstone hanging wires that you can lay within a 20 block radius of the connector (this is similar to how wires are laid in Immersive Engineering). The system works fairly stably, does not lose the signal and allows you to quickly and easily run redstone through the pillars, which will look beautiful and realistic.

This is a side-project of my larger mod -> Perimeter
