TIS3D: Renewed
by ewoudje
TIS3D: Renewed brings low-tech programmable computing to Minecraft, with small nodes called modules that players connect into multi-block computers.
What it does
The mod takes the minimal programmable node idea from the TIS-100 game and expands it into a third dimension. Each module is a small unit, and players arrange them into computers of different shapes. Some modules run programs written in the assembly dialect used in TIS-100, while others read and write redstone signals so programs can interact with the world around them.
Specialized modules extend the system. A stack module provides a small amount of data storage, an infrared module sends data wirelessly between TIS-3D computers, and a terminal module offers basic text input and output. Players can use the mod to automate tasks that would otherwise need complicated redstone circuits, build machine-code interpreters, or make a music machine. Installation needs NeoForge for 1.21.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Programmable modules
Executable modules run programs written in the assembly dialect introduced by TIS-100, with a few extra instructions.
Redstone interface
A redstone module reads and writes redstone signals, letting a program control machinery and sense its state.
Wireless data transfer
The infrared module passes data between separate TIS-3D computers without cables.
Storage and text output
A stack module adds small data storage, and a terminal module handles rudimentary text input and output.

Use cases
Automation without redstone
Logic that would need complicated redstone circuitry can be written as a program on a module-based computer.
Music machines and interpreters
Players can build a music machine or design a machine-code interpreter and run larger programs on a ROM module.
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy programming puzzles and low-tech computing in a survival or creative world. Server owners can run it for players who want to build programmable machines together.

What the author says
TIS-3D is a Minecraft mod inspired by the brilliant game TIS-100 (do buy it, seriously). TIS-3D Renewed is the port to later version(s). It takes the concept of minimal, programmable nodes (called "modules" in the mod) and expands it to the third dimension. This allows building multi-block computers from different…
