Enhanced Threshold Switch
by PalTheTaur
Enhanced Threshold Switch extends the Create threshold switch so it can read the angle of a mechanical bearing and respond to rotation speed.
What it does
The mod adds a way for a threshold switch to read a mechanical bearing directly. The bearing stores its angle in NBT data, which lets a switch observe that value and trigger on it, rather than relying only on redstone contacts placed outside the bearing. Readings from those outside contacts are described by the author as less accurate and unreliable.
The update rate of a connected threshold switch is increased, and the bearing is sampled once every 10 ticks. The author notes that this interval represents the bearing's position closely at lower speeds, while at higher speeds the readings become choppy and some changes can be skipped. Connection ranges under 25 percent are listed as a working case.
Installation needs Create and Create Fabric. The mod runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, for 1.20.1, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Bearing angle reading
A threshold switch can read the angle stored by a mechanical bearing, which allows a self-contained way to handle bearing rotation.
Faster update rate
The switch refreshes its reading every 10 ticks, which the author describes as the only change made to the existing behavior.
Rotation speed limits
Readings are described as accurate at lower speeds, around 128 rpm and below, with choppy updates beyond that point.
Planned piston support
The author plans to add support for mechanical pistons and other components in later updates.

What the author says
I have had some situations where I wanted to have a somewhat self contained way to handle the angle of a mechanical bearing. Redstone contacts have to be placed on the outside to get a more accurate reading, so they can be unreliable. I saw that the bearings do store their angle inside the NBT, so I just had to mark…
