MalisisSwitchesReborn
MalisisSwitchesReborn is an unofficial modern re-imagination of the classic MalisisSwitches mod, adding simple wireless redstone switches, sensors and relays.
What it does
The mod brings the switch and sensor blocks of the original MalisisSwitches mod to newer versions, and aims to keep the original feel of the blocks. Switches work like vanilla levers, while a Player Sensor reacts to nearby players. Relays take power from linked switches and sensors and output a standard redstone signal, so they can drive ordinary circuits.
Redstone current is sent between blocks without wires. A Power Linker connects a switch or sensor to the blocks that should receive power, and relays can be chained the same way. Equipping the Power Linker shows links as green when powered and red when not, and the 1.0.3 release refreshes the textures and shows the current redstone power level on relays. The mod requires external core libraries and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, and the code is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
