Create: Better Frequency
by holynwk
Create: Better Frequency lets Redstone Link frequencies be set by renaming the frequency items, so links can be told apart by item type and custom name.
What it does
Matching in Create's standard Redstone Links relies on the item type of the two frequency pieces alone. This addon changes that rule: a frequency item can carry a custom name set with an anvil, and a link connects only when both the item type and that name agree. Two links set to a stone named 1 and a stone named 2 stay separate, while links sharing the same name and type still pair up.
The addon suits compact builds such as hidden doors, factories, bases and contraptions, and it helps on shared servers and modpacks where numerous links need similar item types kept on separate channels. It runs on the client and the server, leaves ordinary behavior intact and adds only the custom-name based separation. Create: Better Frequency is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It requires Create and is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only.
Key features
Custom-name frequencies
The first and second frequency items can each carry a custom name, so one item type can serve several separate channels.
Anvil channel naming
Renaming a frequency item at an anvil creates a unique channel without any extra recipe or block.
Stricter link matching
A Redstone Link connects only when both its item type and its custom name match the other link.
Default behavior kept
Links that use unnamed items keep working as Create's standard frequency system does.

Use cases
Separating similar channels
Builds with many links of the same item type can use different names to keep each channel apart.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who build with many Redstone Links and want to separate channels that share item types.

What the author says
By default, Create Redstone Links use two items or blocks as a frequency. This mod makes the frequency depend not only on the item/block type, but also on its custom name. This is useful for compact Create builds, hidden doors, factories, bases, contraptions, multiplayer servers, and modpacks where many Redstone…
