Redstone Tweaks

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

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
• 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
• Activator block now allows using seeds directly on farmland
• Redstone ore now redirects redstone dust
• Levers are now placed parallel to the player's view instead of perpendicularly
• Fence gates can now be affected by redstone
• Mesh Blocks and Gold Mesh Blocks can now be powered to block items from going through them

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

• 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?
• Fix update queue being reset on dimension change and world reload (On hold, would have to overhaul a big part of the game)

Maybe

• Add observer functionality to motion sensor Matcher Block planned for vanilla BTA! in 7.4
• 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!
