Drive-By-Wire with Sable
by Rew1nd
Drive-By-Wire with Sable adds cable-based control for Sable vehicles, so a player can operate a vehicle from a distance through connected wiring.
What it does
Vehicles built in Sable can be controlled with cables instead of a row of separate buttons or levers. The cables carry a signal from a control point to the vehicle, so a player does not have to place a link next to each function in the build. The mod is a port of an earlier vehicle-wiring mod to Sable, and its description presents the cables as a way to connect a vehicle without extra wiring tricks.
The mod runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 and is published for that single game version, with the latest file, 0.3.0, dated 2026-07-02. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source. Other mods depend on it: Drive-By-Wire:Typewriter, the fixed Tweaked Controller and CC: ReLinked all require it to be installed alongside.
Key features
Cable-based vehicle control
Cables connect a control point to a Sable vehicle, so the operator needs only one line per vehicle.
Fewer exposed links
Wiring runs through cables instead of individual links placed across the build, which keeps the layout tidy.
Single control logic
Each control uses the same cable-based setup, so there is no separate frequency scheme to memorize for each door or function.
Lectern routing
Cables can route to lecterns, letting a builder group the vehicle controls at one station.
Computer-controlled stations
Lectern connections can also be driven by a computer-controlled station, so a program can operate a vehicle.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

Use cases
Driving a Sable vehicle from a station

Who it’s for: Players who build vehicles in Sable and want to operate them from a central control station, and server owners who run computer-controlled setups alongside CC: ReLinked.
