Datastone
by Qarvexium
Datastone adds a data automation system to NeoForge 1.21.1, built around programmable processors, sensors, storage devices and displays that replace some traditional redstone logic.
What it does
Instead of relying only on redstone circuits, Datastone lets builders write custom logic that collects information from the world, processes it in code, and sends results to other devices. Processors connect to components over wired links or wireless networks, so a setup can span several parts of a base.
A simple example reads keyboard input through one input port and forwards it straight to a monitor through an output port. Larger scripts can process sensor readings, automate machines and coordinate whole systems across a network. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Datastone is released under the MIT License and is published only for NeoForge 1.21.1, with 0.1.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Programmable processors
Processors run custom code that reads inputs, makes decisions and drives outputs, replacing many redstone-only designs.
Sensors and storage
Sensor and storage devices feed data into scripts, so logic can react to the state of the world.
Wired and wireless networks
Components can talk over cables or wireless links, letting one controller manage devices spread across a build.
Displays and control panels
Monitors and control panels show script output and accept player input, for dashboards and interactive machines.

Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Smart factories
Production lines can be monitored and adjusted by scripts that read machine status and respond to it.
Access control
A script can check input from a keypad or sensor and decide which doors or machines react.
Environmental stations
Sensor readings from a remote site can be collected and shown on a display at the base.
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy engineering, automation and programming inside Minecraft will find the most use in Datastone, from simple automated doors to distributed control networks.
How it compares
Create: Sensors is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2, released under the MIT License, with the same client and server environment. Redstone Wire is also released under the MIT License, covering 1.21.1 – 26.2, and uses the same environment. Datastone is limited to 1.21.1 and centers on programmable processors rather than sensor or wire extensions.
