A few external library mods are required for Project Red to work:
Modules
Here is a list of Project Red modules, and a summary of what they add. You may pick and choose which ones you'd like to install.
- Core: A common library shared by the other modules. By itself it doesn't add much, but is required to be installed.
- Expansion: Machines, frames, motors, electricity generation.
- Exploration: Worldgen, ores, tools, decorative blocks, etc.
- Illumination: Decorative, redstone-controlled lighting
- Integration: Redstone logic gates that can replace very large multi-block circuits.
- Transmission: Redstone wiring that can run up walls, connect around corners, and merge together into a bunled cable.
- Fabrication: Design and fabricate custom integrated circuits and place them as a single high-performance gate (Note: requires Integration and Transmission).
