Ranged Wireless Redstone
by Dannydk
Ranged Wireless Redstone lets a redstone signal cross a gap of configurable length, using paired transmitters and receivers linked by channel numbers.
What it does
Two block types make up the system: transmitters and receivers. A transmitter sends a redstone signal over a set distance, and a receiver within range picks it up. The default transmitter reaches 256 blocks, and the server config file can change that distance. A smaller Tiny Wireless Transmitter reaches 64 blocks by default, and the Tiny Redstone panels that carry its circuits can be placed as part of tiny redstone circuits.
Signals are matched by channel, and a new transmitter or receiver starts on channel 0. A receiver picks up a signal only from a transmitter that shares its channel and sits inside its range. When several transmitters on one channel are in range, a receiver picks up the strongest signal. The only stated limit is that signals cannot pass between dimensions. The mod requires no other mod for its own operation, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20 – 26.3 across eight release versions, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source.
Key features
Configurable wireless range
Transmitters send a signal up to a set number of blocks, and the default distance can be changed in the server configuration.
Tiny transmitters
Tiny Wireless Transmitters cover a shorter range for compact circuits built from Tiny Redstone panels.
Channel selection
A right click opens a GUI where the channel number can be changed, and the number of channels is effectively unlimited.
Network finder
A button with a cloud icon lists transmitters ordered by channel and position, which helps pick an unused channel for a receiver.
