Workings Mod Cover Image

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:

Block of Iron Pipes
Block of Copper Pipes

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

Here are the recipes: Pipe Recipes

Both block recipes are shapeless and can have the pipes arranged in any order.

Walls

Decorative Highway barriers that function like fences.

Highway Barrier
Jersey Wall

Here are the recipes:

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

Cones

Cone Recipes

Traffic Lights

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

Light switching 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:

Traffic Light Recipes

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.

Sign crafting recipes

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.

Block of Sticks

Pallets are just decorative blocks for now:

Pallets

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.

Block of Pavement and Block of Asphalt

Here are the recipes:

Crafting recipes for Block of Sticks and Pavement

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

Items

Bundle of Sticks

Bundle of sticks

Bundles of Sticks are a crafting ingredient for Blocks of Sticks. They have a burn time of 1000 and can be used to bulk craft torches.

Copper Nugget

Copper Nugget

Copper Nuggets are a crafting ingredient used to make pipes. Once Copper ingot is nine Copper Nuggets. Copper Nuggets can also be made by smelting down any Vanilla or Workings' Copper blocks or items.

Known Issues
  • The Highway Barrier texture has some Z-fighting if connected to both the X and Z axis.
  • 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

Frequently Asked Questions

Workings server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.17.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Workings compatible with fabric?

Workings officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.17.1, 1.17.1-rc2, 1.17.1-rc1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

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. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
