Redstone Torch Random Tick
by 2No2Name
Redstone Torch Random Tick lets burnt out redstone torches recover through random ticks, so a torch that burned out can return to working on its own.
What it does
Redstone torches burn out when they are overloaded, and normally stay off until a player replaces them. This mod sets up random ticks so that a burnt out torch can reactivate after a while, letting a circuit that lost a torch restart without manual repair.
Only torches that are not on a scheduled tick are reactivated. Torches already tied to a scheduled update keep their normal behavior, which avoids breaking redstone contraptions that depend on timing. The mod is built for Fabric and Quilt and changes behavior only on the server side.
Files cover 29 release versions, 1.19 – 26.3. Builds exist for both Fabric and Quilt, with 1.1.0 for 26.3 as the latest file on each loader, published 2026-04-03. The code is not open source; a public source repository and issue tracker are linked from the project page, and the license is All rights reserved.
Key features
Random tick reactivation
Burnt out redstone torches receive random ticks and switch back on once a tick reactivates them.
Non-scheduled torches only
Torches that are waiting on a scheduled tick are left alone, so timed circuits keep their timing.
Contraption safety
Only torches that burned out without a scheduled update are affected, which limits the changes to a narrow case.
Server-side behavior
The change runs on the server, so players connecting to it need no extra installation.
