Bluestone
by ajjxf
Bluestone adds a second, parallel redstone signal that runs beside vanilla redstone, with its own wire, torch, repeater and comparator.
What it does
Bluestone keeps its power system separate from vanilla redstone, so a blue circuit does not feed into red components and the two signals never mix. Its blocks mirror the vanilla set: a wire that loses one unit of power per block and connects in dot, line and cross shapes, with the same up-stepping behavior, a torch that inverts blue power and burns out the same way, a repeater with a delay of 1 to 4 ticks that can lock blue gates, and a comparator with compare and subtract modes that reads container signals.
The mod is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License and requires Fabric API. It runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with six release versions and 1.0.1 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, and it is marked as a beta release. Both the server and every player need it, so it has to be installed on both sides. The author notes that parts were written with AI assistance and that the code references vanilla redstone closely; undiscovered bugs are possible, and reports go to the GitHub issue tracker.

Use cases
Separate circuits
Builders can run a second circuit beside vanilla redstone without the two signals interacting.
Experiments with redstone logic
The blue components mirror vanilla behavior, so familiar designs can be rebuilt in the second signal.
Who it’s for: Redstone builders who want a second signal layer, and server owners who want blue circuits on a Fabric server. Players need the mod too, because it is client and server.
How it compares
Instant Redstone is a Fabric mod for the same versions, also client and server, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and it is not open source. Repeater Expansion is an open source Fabric mod under the MIT License, but it only targets 1.20.1. More Wires is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 under All rights reserved and is not open source.
