Amaranthium (Redstone Dirt)
Amaranthium adds a Redstone Dirt block to Forge 1.20.1 that can be toggled to emit a redstone signal of 15.
What it does
Redstone Dirt is a new dirt variant from the Amaranthium mod, a simple technology addition for Minecraft Java Edition. Players switch the block on or off, and while it is on it releases a redstone signal at strength 15. The block uses the rooted dirt texture, which the author describes as a deliberate choice to look suspicious, though a dedicated texture was planned.
A second addition is a Grass trapdoor, intended to look like a grass block while working as a trapdoor. The author notes that a fitting texture could not be found for it yet. The alternate lever behaviour is described as operating the whole block rather than a single part. The mod is the eighth installment in the Amaranthium series by AxisTheJester and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files target Forge for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released on 2024-12-01 under All rights reserved. The code is not open source.

What the author says
A "very simple" Redstone mod, It adds a new Dirt variant called, you guessed it, 'Redstone Dirt'. Redstone Dirt can be toggled on/off to release a redstone signal of 15. This is just to make an alternate lever that funtions as a whole block. Redstone Dirt uses the rooted dirt texture, as I do not want it to look very…
