Active Redstone Physics
by KISH_MASTER
Active Redstone Physics changes how redstone crafts and mechanisms behave on Forge 1.20.1, with new items such as pushers and hinges.
What it does
The mod replaces existing redstone crafting mechanisms with versions that draw on redstone energy. New crafts are added that make redstone building harder and more realistic, and an essence of active redstone lets players make a source of redstone energy. Redstone torches feed into some of these recipes. It runs on the Forge loader for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and both the server and every player need it. Released under the Apache License 2.0, it is not open source.

What the author says
The mod replaces the existing crafting redstone mechanisms. Adds new items such as a pusher, a hinge, and an active redstone. Now all crafts are tied to using sources of redstone energy (redstone torch). The essence of active redstone is that it allows you to make a source of redstone energy.
