About this Mod
Workings

Workings is a construction themed Minecraft mod for the Fabric Modloader. It adds 22 blocks and 2 items, with survival friendly recipes. It was made for the ModFest 1.17 competition, from June 18th to July 4th.
Here is an overview of the mod:
Pipes
Block of Iron Pipes and Block of Copper Pipes:


These are crafted with pipes, which function as lightning rods:

Here are the recipes: 
Both block recipes are shapeless and can have the pipes arranged in any order.
Walls
Decorative Highway barriers that function like fences.


Here are the recipes:

The Jersey Wall can also be crafted in a stonecutter, one Pavement block to one Jersey Wall.
Cones

Here are the recipes:

Traffic Lights
Traffic Lights are based on the direction of the player placing them. They can be toggled by redstone.

Automatic Traffic Lights are also based on the player direction. Their speed can be changed by feeding them sugar or fermented spider eyes. Each click adds or subtracts 20% of the current speed, for a total of nine speed combinations.
Giving an Automatic Traffic Light a redstone signal will freeze it in place.

Here are the recipes for the Traffic Light:

Lime dye and candles can be substituted for green dye and candles, respectively.
Traffic Lights can also be crafted with an Automatic Traffic Light and three coal, shapeless.
Here is the recipe for Automatic Traffic Lights:

Green dye can be substituted for lime dye. Automatic Traffic Lights can also be crafted with a Traffic light and three redstone, shapeless.
Signs
Decorative road signs.

Here are the recipes for the signs:

Wool can be substituted for concrete or terracotta. Any shovel and any banner (including modded shovels and banners) will work for the Shovel Diamond Sign and Flag Diamond Sign, respectively.
Blocks
Block of sticks are decorative blocks that have a burn time of 3000.

Pallets are just decorative blocks for now:

Block of Pavement and Block of Asphalt. Pavement is used to craft Jersey Walls and Highway Barriers. Asphalt will give players and mobs Speed II when standing on.

Here are the recipes:

For Pavement, any type of Sand and any type of Cobblestone (Blackstone, Cobbled Deepslate, etc) work, even ones that were added by other mods.

Asphalt is creative-only for now. I haven't decided what recipe to give it yet.New in 1.0.2, Asphalt has a recipe and gives Speed II effect when standing on.Pallets have no drops, I am unable to get the loottable to accept multiple blockstates (PR's welcome!)Fixed in 1.0.5

Workings server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Workings – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Workings consumes the most tick time.
