Create: Sound of Steam: Tuning Wrench

by gnomey2

Create: Sound of Steam: Tuning Wrench is a Forge and NeoForge addition for the Sound of Steam pipe organs, which sets redstone links for each stop on a pipe organ.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Right-clicking a Sound of Steam pipe with the wrench configures it, and holding Alt while scrolling cycles through the wrench's modes. Each sub-mode decides where the redstone links are placed relative to the pipe. Setting an entire stop happens in one action, and a link placed two blocks below the pipe is set to receive with the correct frequency, so the organ can be tuned without placing every link by hand. The pitch match mode uses the frequency of the actual pipe, apart from mutated pipes, and the author suggests pairing it with a keyboard relay or a tracker bar for MIDI playback.

The wrench is useful in survival mode, where each redstone link placed consumes one from the inventory, and it will not place a link on a block that already holds one. Players who build large organs can set up whole stops at a time instead of one pipe at a time. Stops are set to a stop length of 8 feet.

The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and it requires Create and Create: Sound of Steam, with Create: Expanded Steam Whistles as an optional addition.

Key features

  1. Automatic redstone link setup

    The wrench sets the channels of redstone links for Sound of Steam pipe organs without manual frequency entry.

  2. Mode switching with Alt and scroll

    Holding Alt while scrolling changes the wrench's mode, and each sub-mode controls where links are placed.

  3. Whole-stop configuration

    A single action sets every pipe of a stop, so entire stops can be configured at once.

  4. Pitch matching

    A pitch match mode sets links to the real pitch of each pipe, except for mutated pipes.
