FURC (Fabric/Forge Universal Remote Control)
by nickmesser
FURC, short for Fabric/Forge Universal Remote Control, lets a player operate distant blocks such as levers, crafting tables and furnaces from wherever they stand.
What it does
A player links a block to a remote control and can then use that block from any distance, without walking to it. A lever can be switched, a crafting table can be opened to craft, and a furnace can be used to smelt ores. Shift plus right click on a favorite block sets it as the target, and the remote then reaches it from anywhere. The mod also covers modded blocks, not only vanilla ones, so access depends on what the player has linked.
The remote is available in an energy version that needs no recipe, and a recipe version that has to be crafted and spawned in. Installation needs Architectury API and Fabric API on Fabric, and Forge Config API Port on NeoForge, so each of those must sit beside FURC. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.1.2, and the code is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source.
