RFTools Control
by McJty
RFTools Control lets players build programs with a visual grid of opcodes that move items, control redstone and check energy in RF.
What it does
Two main blocks make up the automation system: a programmer where players arrange the grid, and a processor that executes the finished programs. The programming language is visual and based on opcodes, so a program reads as a set of steps placed on a grid rather than typed code. Programs can access regular inventories and use a storage scanner to control connected storage.
The addon is an automation logic computer addon for the RFTools family and works with the other RFTools mods. It requires McJtyLib and RFTools Base, and The One Probe is optional. Client and server both need the mod, so the server and every player run it. Forge and NeoForge builds cover 1.10.2 – 1.21.1, with 8.0.2 for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file and 7.0.4 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Visual opcode grid
Programs are built by placing opcodes on a grid, which removes the need to write text code.
Item movement and redstone
Opcodes move items between inventories and control redstone signals based on program logic.
Energy checks
A program can read stored energy measured in RF and act on the result.
Storage scanner control
A storage scanner lets programs direct access to connected storage systems.
Networking support
Networking is provided so processors and programmers can exchange data across the system.

A processor can check RF levels and switch machines on or off as power changes.
Who it’s for: Players who already use RFTools machines and want logic control over them, and server owners who want programmable automation without installing extra gameplay mods.
