Project Red Core
by MrTJP
Project Red Core is the shared library for MrTJP's Project Red family, supplying the common code and a few basic items and blocks that the other modules depend on.
What it does
The mod serves mainly as the common library module for the Project Red collection. It adds only a small set of basic items and blocks on its own, and the wider set of features comes from the modules that depend on it. Installation needs CB Multipart and CodeChicken Lib alongside it, and the author lists the library as the base of six other mods, including Project Red Integration, Project Red Transmission, Project Red Illumination, Project Red Fabrication and Project Red Expansion.
Redstone wiring can climb walls and turn corners, and separate runs can join into a single bundled cable. Machines, frames, motors, electricity generation, decorative redstone-controlled lighting and worldgen ores and tools are handled by the add-on modules. The mod is heavily inspired by Red Power by Eloraam. Files cover Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Shared common library
Core supplies the shared code that the other Project Red modules use, so they can rely on one base.
Basic items and blocks
A small set of foundational items and blocks is added by the core module itself.
Redstone wiring
Logic gates handle work that otherwise takes large multi-block circuits, so a build can stay compact.
Logic gates
Logic gates are offered as a compact replacement for large multi-block redstone circuits.

How it compares
More Red is a Forge and NeoForge option built on Client and server, licensed under the MIT License and open source, with files for 1.20.1. Tiny Gates is also open source and published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20 – 26.3, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Create: Circuits targets NeoForge only for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, so it is narrower in loader coverage than Project Red Core.
