Crystal Components
by Ghouldubs
Crystal Components supplies redstone components built from crystals, including a crystal button, a counter-part crafted with a flower, and a laser-emitting diode called the R.E.D.
What it does
Each component is crafted from a normal redstone part combined with a flower, and the amethyst button cycles through several signal strengths in a set sequence that repeats on a timer.
The R.E.D. projects a short beam from one face, reaching roughly 15 blocks out. Full amethyst clusters bend the beam, and beams meeting at the same cluster merge and add their focus together. A beam striking another R.E.D.'s face sends a stronger signal back to its source, so closer setups can build laser tripwires and distance sensors.
Key features
Crystal-based redstone parts
Redstone components are built around crystals, giving the circuit set a different look and function from vanilla parts.
Multi-strength amethyst button
The amethyst button emits several signal strengths in turn, following a sequence the builder can rely on.
Laser redstone emitter
The Redstone Emitting Diode projects a laser beam that other R.E.D. blocks can detect and answer.
Merging and focused beams
Beams that meet at a full amethyst cluster combine their focus, and enough merged beams begin to hurt whatever stands in the path.

Use cases
Laser tripwires and sensors
A beam crossing a doorway or corridor can trigger a circuit when it is broken, and a short distance between two R.E.D. blocks makes a compact sensor.
Compact redstone circuits
Crystal components keep signal strengths and timing in a small footprint, useful for builds with many switches.
Who it’s for: Players who build redstone machinery and want laser-based detection, and server owners who run technical builds on multiplayer servers where the mod is installed on both sides.
How it compares
Redstone Capacitor is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric as a client and server mod, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4. Laseredstone is also open source under the MIT License, Fabric only, client and server, and published for 1.21.8 – 26.1.2. Crystal Components is not open source and targets 1.21.1 – 26.2, with laser beams as its main mechanic.
