Alternate Current Unofficial

by Tesseract

Alternate Current Unofficial replaces the redstone dust logic for players who want less server lag from large dust networks.

ForgeServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.7.10 – 1.12.2

What it does

The mod swaps in a non-locational implementation of redstone dust, which reduces the lag that large dust networks cause by optimizing how power is calculated and how many block updates are emitted. Because the update order changes, dust networks can behave differently from vanilla, though they stay predictable. Mycelium is required. Only the server needs the mod to be installed, since players may leave it out.

Key features

  1. Non-locational dust logic

    Redstone dust power is calculated without relying on the location-based order of vanilla updates, which cuts lag in large networks.

  2. Fewer block updates

    Power calculations are optimized so that fewer block updates are emitted for each change in a dust network.

  3. Changed update order

    Block update order differs from vanilla, so some dust circuits respond differently while staying predictable.

What the author says

Alternate Current Unofficial is an efficient and non-locational redstone dust implementation. Its main focus lies in reducing the lag caused by redstone dust, by optimizing the power calculations and reducing the number of shape and block updates emitted. As a side effect of these changes the block update order of…
