ANC Indicators
by BlueDavrial
ANC Indicators adds alphabetic, numeric and color-based indicator blocks for NeoForge, letting builders label rooms, logic and storage with visible signals.
What it does
The mod's blocks show a letter of the English alphabet, a number from 0 through 16, or a larger value such as 32, 64, 1000 or Infinity, and they also carry Even or Odd markings for basic math. Each indicator takes a block color and a matching text color chosen to read against dark backgrounds, so different block colors can be told apart at a glance.
Redstone Levels and Light Levels indicators output a redstone signal or light strength that corresponds to their numeric value, so they can serve as readable signal sources in circuits. A custom system called AURCS, short for Automatic Universal ReColoring System, lets a vial of paint be crafted in any color and applied to a targeted block to change its color, with no manually entered code needed for mods to use it.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for NeoForge across three release versions, 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Use cases
Labeling storage and rooms
Builders can mark chests, rooms or sorting channels with letters, numbers or colors so contents and areas are identifiable at a glance.
Signal indicators in circuits
Redstone Levels indicators display the strength of a signal, which helps in checking a circuit's output while it is being built.
Who it’s for: Builders who organize storage or base layouts, and redstone players who want readable signal levels. The indicators suit both survival bases and creative builds.
