Redstone Helper

by Bumer-32

Redstone Helper is a Fabric utility for building redstone circuits, with auto-placement of redstone components and a bit calculator.

FabricClient or server, optionalApache License 2.0Open source1.20.4 – 1.21.4

What it does

Players set up redstone circuits with a set of placement tools. Pressing B activates auto-wire mode, which can be switched on or off and set as the default after a world loads. While it is active, redstone blocks, repeaters and comparators are placed in a row, and a comparator variant places redstone comparator blocks. One placement option lays down a redstone block and then 15 repeater blocks.

Pressing N opens a calculator window that converts numbers between bits, hexadecimal and integers. The interface can be restyled with dark panels and a blurred background in place of the vanilla translucent one, and the language can be changed. Players who hold N's rebind can move the keys in settings.

Redstone Helper requires Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and oωo (owo-lib). Mod Menu and WorldEdit are optional. The mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and is published for Fabric only, in seven game versions 1.20.4 – 1.21.4, with 0.2.5.5 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. Either side can run it, and neither needs it.

Key features

  1. Auto-wire mode

    Pressing B toggles auto-wire, which places redstone components while the player builds.

  2. Component placement

    Redstone blocks, repeaters and comparators are placed automatically, including a 15-repeater option.

  3. Bit calculator

    A window opened with N converts values between bits, hexadecimal and integers.

  4. Interface and config

    Dark panels, a background blur and a small Auto Wire config change how the interface looks and behaves.

It has files for 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3 and 1.21.4, all on Fabric.

Does the server need Redstone Helper installed?

No. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so installing it on one side is enough.
