PowerStones
by CalvinMT
PowerStones introduces four redstone wire colours that overlap on a single block, letting two separate circuits share one space while staying electrically apart.
What it does
Each PowerStones wire colour, Redstone, Bluestone, Greenstone and Yellowstone, carries its own separate power signal. Each wire colour links up only with wires, torches, repeaters, comparators and other redstone parts of the matching colour. Repeaters can pass power from one wire colour to another, which allows controlled interaction between circuits that would otherwise stay independent.
Editing is handled with the PowerStones dust item. Holding it while breaking a wire removes only the channels matching its colour, so one overlapping circuit can be changed without disturbing the other. The project began with a goal of placing four wire colours in a single block, but the number of block states that approach required was reduced to keep the power levels of each channel at two states, 0 and 1, rather than sixteen. The mod depends on Fabric API on Fabric, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Key features
Four wire colours
Redstone, Bluestone, Greenstone and Yellowstone wires each carry a separate power signal.
Overlapping wires
Two wire colours can occupy the same block without affecting each other's signal.
Colour-matched connections
Wires connect only to wires, torches, repeaters and comparators of their own colour.
Colour-specific repeaters
Repeaters can carry a signal from one wire colour over to another, which joins circuits that would otherwise run independently.
Targeted editing
Breaking a wire while holding the PowerStones dust removes only the channels of the matching colour.
