Advanced Door Bells
by SmileLulz
Advanced Door Bells lets players wire doors to a wireless bell chain, so a press on a switch rings a speaker across the base.
What it does
The mod adds three blocks, a Door Bell Switch, a Door Bell Speaker and a Door Bell Connector, which link together by right-clicking. A switch rings any speaker it is connected to, and several connections can be chained from one switch. Three crafting recipes make the blocks, and a recipe view shows how each one is made.
Access to the switches and speakers can be limited: players without operator moderator privileges cannot interact with them. The mod also supports addons. It needs Fabric API on Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Forge files are offered as well, and the source is published under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source.
Key features
Wireless door bells
Switches and speakers connect through a connector block without any wires, so a bell can be placed anywhere in range of its switch.
Multiple connections
One switch can be linked to several speakers, and a speaker can be reached from more than one switch.
Protected switches and speakers
Players without operator moderator privileges cannot interact with the switches and speakers, which keeps the bells under server control.
Recipe view
Each of the three blocks has a crafting recipe, and a view of the recipes is available in game.

Use cases
Doorbells in a base
A switch at the front door can ring a speaker inside, so a visitor can be heard from another room.
Redstone-free signalling
Players who would otherwise run long redstone lines can use the connector to link a switch to a speaker.
Who it’s for: Players who want bells in a survival base or on a multiplayer server, and server owners who want to restrict who can use the switches. Players who build with noteblocks and redstone will find the speaker a simple alternative to a long circuit.

What the author says
Adds wireless Door Bells. No more need to use Noteblocks or Redstones! The addon APIs only supports adding more Switches and Speakers easily. But modders can of course add more things on top of the mod anyway. See the Wiki ↗ for more info.
