BellNetwork
by FancyOtter
With BellNetwork, a bell rung in one place can trigger linked bells anywhere, across rooms, bases or dimensions.
What it does
BellNetwork is a server-side Fabric mod that links bells into directed networks. Players select a bell, link it to a second bell with a string, and from then on ringing the source bell triggers the target. Links can cross dimensions, so a bell in the Nether can signal one in the Overworld. The mod is aimed at alert systems, doorbell networks, synchronized clock towers and raid warning chains.
Connections are one-way by default, and a link can be made two-way when both bells should trigger each other. A signal can pass along a series of links, so a bell that rings another bell also sets off whatever that bell is connected to. Cycles are handled safely, so a bell never rings itself through a loop. Breaking a bell removes its links automatically, and shears remove a single connection. Networks are saved per world and survive restarts.
BellNetwork requires Fabric API. It is published for Fabric only, in three game versions, 26.1 – 26.1.2, with 1.0.1 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. Vanilla clients connect without issues. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Directed bell links
A string links a source bell to a target, so ringing the source sends the signal to the target.
Fan-out and chains
One bell can trigger several others, and signals travel the full depth of a network.
Two-way connections
A link can be made in both directions so that either bell triggers the other.
Visual link tracing
White and purple particle lines show which bells are connected while a link is being made.
Cleanup on removal
Shears remove a single connection, and breaking a bell clears all of its links.

How it compares
Ultimate Better Bells is a Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.3 that runs on the client and the server, so every player needs it. Another Bell Crafting is client-side only for 1.21.1, so servers run without it. Armor Durability Warning is also client and server but covers 1.21.11 and has nothing to do with bell links.
