Virtual-Redstone-Wire

Redstone links carry a 0-15 signal strength across a distance of up to 256 blocks, and the distance is configurable from 1 to 1024. Each link is one-way: a signal enters at an input block and leaves at the output block whose clicked face is chosen. A redstone lamp placed at the output lights up directly, and the signal strength is preserved across the link.

Links support one-to-many broadcast, where one input feeds several outputs, and many-to-one merge, where several inputs feed one output and the highest signal wins. Links refresh in real time and can be set up after building, so a source can be placed, flipped or removed at any time. The Cable Cutter tool removes outgoing links from an input block in a single use. The mod takes no space in the world, works with vanilla blocks and block entities, and is installed only on Forge for 1.20.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Language follows the Minecraft setting, and the server config file serverconfig/virtual redstone wire-server.toml holds the link options. Virtual Redstone Wire is open source under the MIT License, first published on 2026-08-02 and last updated on 2026-09-26.
