A mod to improve Better Than Adventure redstone mechanics

This mod uses a modified version of Fabric (Babric) and is designed only for Better than Adventure, a heavily modified version of Minecraft b1.7.3! For more information, join the discord server provided on this projects page.


Redstone Tweaks

A mod that aims to improve BTA! redstone mechanics :)

General Feature Showcase

Changes

  • Redstone blocks no longer hard power adjacent blocks (toggleable with the gamerule redstoneBlockHardPower)
  • Activator block now allows using left click to lock/unlock slots
  • Activator block now allows unlocking slots while holding an item
  • Activator block now allows locking/unlocking all unused slots with middle click
  • Levers are now placed parallel to the player's view instead of perpendicularly
  • Mesh Blocks and Gold Mesh Blocks can now be powered to block items from going through them

Fixes

  • All our fixes were merged into BTA! 8.0 :D

Merged to BTA!

Some of our changes were merged into base BTA! and therefore are no longer included in our mod, here's a list of changes no longer included in Redstone Tweaks:

Merged in BTA! 8.0+

Changes

  • Redstone wire is no longer redirected by diagonal power sources (e.g. lever at the side of the block the wire is on) [This is NOT related to QC]
  • Redstone wire now uses the Alternate Current efficient and non-locational redstone dust implementation ~~(toggleable with the useAlternateCurrent gamerule)~~
  • Redstone Jack o' lanterns behaves as a solid block, allowing the block to be powered
  • Redstone Jack o' lanterns isolate the front face from the rest of the redstone going though it
  • Activator block now allows using seeds directly on farmland
  • Redstone ore now redirects redstone dust
  • Fence gates can now be affected by redstone

Fixes

  • Redstone wire now properly handles redstone redirection
  • Redstone wire now properly sends updates when its direction changes
  • Redstone wire no longer visually connects to things it isn't logically connected to
  • Redstone wire now uses the same checks to visually connect diagonally downwards than upwards
  • Repeaters now properly connect to redstone dust
  • Repeaters now properly soft power some blocks and redstone components
  • Repeaters now send updates when removed
  • Repeaters no longer send a 1 tick pulse when placed next to a powered block (breaks repeater auto-powering with /setblock, ~~toggleable with the gamerule removeInitialRepeaterUpdate~~)
  • Redstone Jack o' lanterns no longer redirect redstone on all sides
  • TNT now properly handles valid signals to activate

To-do list

Defined

  • Normalize door/trapdoor/fence gate behaviour when placed next to a powered block, as well as placing blocks next to them to update them.
  • Allow some sort for compact downwards wiring, just like upwards glass. The groundwork is already implemented, just need to choose a block :) maybe slabs or another glass type?

Maybe

  • Make activator be able to retake some items like discs from jukeboxes or items from golden meshes
  • Allow a slot to be used twice on an activator (e.g. bucket in a sequence of steps would be able to be handled properly)
  • Activator rail
  • Minecart with basket, going over mesh blocks drops items in order and over golden mesh blocks only a certain item.

Afterword

I made this mod out of pure love for BTA, I want to be able to play the game and don't let jank ruin the experience, feel free to contribute or use the code as you see fit :) Licence is CC0, but credit is always appreciated!
