About this Mod
Redstone Timer
Redstone Timer is a simple Fabric mod that adds a timer-based redstone block to Minecraft.
The mod is made for players who want an easy way to control redstone signals with timing behavior, making it useful for redstone builds, automation, doors, farms, traps, and other contraptions.
Demonstration

Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| ⏱️ Redstone Timer Block | Adds a custom block focused on redstone timing. |
| 🟥 Redstone Utility | Helps control redstone behavior in builds and machines. |
| 🧵 Fabric Support | Built for the Fabric mod loader. |
| 🧱 Minecraft 1.21.1 | Made for Minecraft 1.21.1. |
What does it do?
Redstone Timer adds a configurable redstone timer block to Minecraft.
When the block receives a redstone signal from its input side, it waits for the configured Delay and then sends a redstone output signal from its output side. The output stays active for the configured On Time.
You can configure the block through its GUI:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Delay | Sets how long the block waits before activating the output. |
| On Time | Sets how long the output signal stays active. |
| Loop | Repeats the timer cycle while active. |
| Enabled | Turns the timer block ON or OFF. |
| Autonomous Start | Starts the timer automatically without needing a redstone input. |
| Apply | Saves the current timer settings. |
The block is useful for delayed redstone signals, timed pulses, lamps, doors, farms, traps, map mechanisms, and other redstone contraptions.
Usage Examples

What it does not do
Redstone Timer is focused on simple timed redstone control.
It does not add wireless redstone, logic gates, item transport, machines, energy systems, or complex automation features.
The block does not output power from every side. It has a directional input and a directional output.
It also does not emit strong redstone power, so it is not designed to directly power every adjacent block like a redstone block.
A Redstone Timer block does not directly trigger another Redstone Timer block placed as its input source.
