Drive By Wire — Typewriter

A NeoForge addon for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds a keyboard-driven wire source to the Drive By Wire (Sable) network, using Create Aeronautics's typewriter mechanics.

What it does

Adds a Typewriter Hub block. Right-click it with an empty hand to start typing — your keypresses are broadcast as redstone signals on the Drive By Wire network, one channel per key. Right-click again to stop.

Blocks

| Block | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Typewriter Hub | A typewriter and multi-channel wire source in one block. |

Key channels

The hub exposes a channel for every key:

• Letters A–Z
• Digits 0–9
• Symbols: Space, ', ,, -, ., /, ;, =, [, ], \
• Control: Enter, Tab, Backspace, Delete, Caps Lock
• Navigation: Arrow keys, Page Up/Down, Home, End
• Modifiers: Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Super, Menu

Each channel is active (1) while the key is held and inactive (0) when released. Only one player can use a hub at a time; disconnecting or losing window focus resets all channels.

Requirements

| Mod | Version |
|-----|---------|
| NeoForge | 21.1.228+ |
| Simulated (Create: Simulated) | 1.1.3+ |
| Drive By Wire | 0.2.9+ |
| Create | 6.0.10+ |~~~~

Usage

1. Place a Typewriter Hub in the world.
2. Connect wire from it to whatever you want to control.
3. Right-click the hub with an empty hand — your keypresses now drive the network.
4. Right-click again to disconnect.

About This Project

This project was developed almost entirely by ClaudeCode (Anthropic's AI assistant). It was built iteratively on
top of the official NeoForge mod project template(mod-generator).

Beyond the initial template setup, all code contributions, feature implementations, refactors, and bug fixes were
autonomously generated and refined by ClaudeCode in a collaborative loop.
