Charset CRE

by kappa-maintainer

Charset CRE is a fork of the Charset redstone and logistics mod, maintained for Minecraft 1.12.2 under the Cleanroom Edition approach.

ForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only1.12.2

What it does

The fork exists because the original Charset relies on libraries that conflict with newer Guava and Apache versions, so the port runs on Cleanroom and repairs several major incompatibilities first. It also restores features and recipes that were missing from the earlier build. Charset CRE requires MCMultipart for its audio wires and redstone wires, and it is compatible with multipart blocks.

The mod adds redstone logic and transport, including simple logic gates and wires in the style of RedPower 2 and ProjectRed, a simple wrench for rotating blocks, and chest and barrel variants. Small tweaks cover glass shards, black dye from charcoal, dyeable anvils, slime blocks and pushable TNT, and cross rails and dyeable carts are included. Chest recipes are noted by the author as interfering with autocrafting systems such as AE2 and RS, with a workaround still in progress.

Charset CRE runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with the latest file 0.5.8 for 1.12.2, dated 2026-07-05. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Redstone logic gates

    Simple logic gates and wires modeled on RedPower 2 and ProjectRed let players build circuits from redstone signals.

  2. Wrench rotation

    A simple wrench rotates supported blocks, so players can orient pieces without breaking them.

  3. Record and music discs

    Music discs can be played, and the fork adds support for more audio codecs, including mp3.

  4. Signal meter and stop watch

    A signal meter and a stop watch give players readings on redstone activity and timing.

  5. Cross rails and dyeable carts

    Rails can cross one another, and minecarts can be dyed to match builds.
