Redstone Enhancements
by FireDragon1
Redstone Enhancements turns Redstone Dust into a rechargeable set of tools, weapons and armour that draws on a separate Charge meter.
What it does
Tools and weapons from the mod use a Charge meter that holds up to 1,000 Charge, kept apart from durability. Ordinary use of an item, such as mining or a normal attack, still wears down durability as usual. Special abilities spend Charge instead, and an ability activates only when the item holds enough Charge for that action. Newly crafted equipment starts with 0 Charge, so it has to be charged before its abilities work. Redstone Armour keeps its own Armour Charge, and it offers defensive abilities alongside the armour pulse.
Charge is supplied by redstone contraptions built nearby, and Redstone Power Batteries extend the charging network across a build, even through the Nether. The mod is for players who build varied redstone contraptions and want mining, farming and combat tools that draw on them. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Fabric API is required. Files are published for Fabric for game versions 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.9 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Key features
Redstone Sword chain attack
A charged Redstone Sword sends an electrical chain to up to three extra living targets within ten blocks of the original.
Chain damage and toggle
Each chained target takes 6 damage, and crouching while holding the sword switches the chain off, with the setting saved per player.
Redstone Axe tree felling
A charged axe chops a naturally generated or sapling-grown tree vertically in one action, felling the whole log column.
Redstone Pickaxe area mining
A charged pickaxe clears a 3×3 area around the target, including only blocks a pickaxe would normally break, and a configured crouch control switches between modes.

Use cases
Mining and tree felling
Players use the pickaxe and axe to clear large areas or whole trees quickly, with the Charge meter limiting each action.
Combat with chained attacks
The Redstone Sword hits several nearby enemies from one strike when it holds enough Charge.
Who it’s for: Players who build redstone contraptions and want equipment that is powered by them. Server owners can use it as a shared feature on a Fabric server.
