What it does

The restored block is a close match for the joke version, which shared its crafting ingredients and redstone signal strength. Once crafted, a USB Charger attaches to redstone wires and can drive redstone contraptions in much the same way. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Files exist for both loaders and cover 1.20 – 1.20.4. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Restored April Fools block

    The mod brings back a block that appeared as a joke in an April Fools release for the 1.RV-Pre1 build.

  2. Matching recipe and properties

    The block keeps the original joke block's recipe and its signal strength when powered.

  3. Redstone power output

    Once crafted, the block connects to redstone wires and powers redstone contraptions.

What the author says

Brings back the USB Charger from the 1.RV-Pre1 April Fools' snapshot. It is nearly identical to the block from the joke snapshot, with the same crafting recipe, block properties, and redstone output power.
