by Andrew6rant
Workings is a Fabric construction decoration mod that adds 22 blocks and 2 items, built around highway barriers, pipes, pallets and traffic lights.
What it does
Workings is a construction themed decoration mod for Fabric. It adds 22 blocks and 2 items, all craftable with survival friendly recipes. Its content covers highway barriers that act like fences, jersey walls cut from pavement at a stonecutter, iron and copper pipes that double as lightning rods, and asphalt. The mod began as an entry in a 1.17 competition that ran from June 18th to July 4th.
Traffic lights come in a manual and an automatic form. A manual light follows the direction the player faces when placed, and a redstone signal can freeze an automatic light in place. Automatic lights are set to nine speeds: each click adds or subtracts 20 percent of the current speed, and sugar or fermented spider eyes change the speed. Two versions of the mod are published for 1.17 and 1.17.1, with the latest Fabric file, 1.0.7, for 1.17.1. Workings runs on client and server, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.
Key features
Highway barriers
Decorative barriers that connect along the X and Z axes and behave like fences for building roads.
Pipes and lightning rods
Iron and copper pipe blocks, crafted from shapeless pipe arrangements, that function as lightning rods.
Traffic lights
Manual and automatic traffic lights, with the automatic version switching speed in nine steps and pausing on a redstone signal.
Asphalt and pallets
Asphalt gives Speed II to a player standing on it and is creative-only in the current build; pallets are decorative blocks that burn for 3000 ticks.
