Expanded Redstone
by Kole07139
Expanded Redstone adds vanilla-style redstone blocks that Mojang did not ship, starting with a Redstone Lantern, for Fabric on 1.21.11.
What it does
The mod adds redstone blocks in the style of the ones Mojang includes in the game, with textures, models and block states for each one. Its first block is a Redstone Lantern, which has its own behavior. A second feature lets signals propagate downwards over a non-conductor relay, which vanilla redstone does not allow. Some vanilla blocks are substituted by the new ones so that the additions fit into existing builds.
Expanded Redstone requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, with a single game version, 1.21.11. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. The mod is released under All rights reserved. The author has said that the mod's contents may grow and that a NeoForge version is planned, but the catalog lists Fabric files only.
The latest file is 0.0.1.alpha.1 for 1.21.11, an alpha build published on 2026-07-23, and the first version was published on 2026-07-20. Snapshot builds are not listed for the mod. The author notes that the mod pairs well with the Defixus Minecraft Server.

How it compares
Regius Redstone is Fabric-only for 1.21.11, client and server, with All rights reserved, so it is the closest match in loader and version. Wireless redstone is also Fabric-only for 1.21.11, client and server, and all rights reserved, but it covers wireless signal links rather than new blocks. Redstone Lantern is open source under the MIT License and runs client and server, but it is published for 1.19 – 1.19.2, so it does not share this mod's version.
