Wireless Redstone

Tired of running redstone wire through your whole base just to flip one lamp? Drop a transmitter next to your switch, a receiver next to your lamp, match the channel — done. No wire. No floor‑tile mazes. No accidentally powering the wrong piston.

Features

• Transmitter — takes a redstone input from any side, broadcasts on its channel.
• Receiver — outputs the strongest signal it sees on its channel, like a redstone block.
• Channel (1–128) and Frequency (0–65535) — pick any pair to keep your networks separate. Over 8 million combinations per dimension.
• Lock toggle — freezes the channel/frequency so you can't bump them by accident.
• Private toggle — binds the pair to your player, so two players can use the same channel without crossing wires on a multiplayer server.
• Item tooltips show the current config without placing the block — handy for sorting them in a chest.
• Configurable range — defaults to 128 blocks. Server admins can bump it up to 1024 or disable the limit entirely.

How it works

1. Craft a transmitter and a receiver (recipes below).
2. Place the transmitter and feed it redstone from any side — lever, button, comparator, whatever.
3. Place the receiver anywhere in the same dimension within range.
4. Right‑click either block to open the config screen. Match the channel + frequency.
5. The receiver mirrors whatever signal strength the transmitter sees. Strength matters — comparator outputs travel intact.

Multiple transmitters on the same channel? The receiver picks the strongest. Multiple receivers? They all output the same. No cross‑dimension signalling (yet).

Recipes

Transmitter — 4 iron + 3 redstone + 1 ender pearl + 1 redstone block

Receiver — 2 iron + 3 redstone + 1 ender pearl + 1 redstone torch

The ender pearl gates these behind your first enderman kill — far enough out that you've explored a bit, but accessible long before diamond or Nether tier.

Configuration

Config file lives at config/wirelessredstone.json (created on first launch):

{
  "rangeLocked": true,
  "maxRange": 128
}

| Key | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| rangeLocked | true | When true, receivers ignore transmitters farther than maxRange blocks. Set false for unlimited range within a dimension. |
| maxRange | 128 | Block distance. Clamped to [4, 1024]. |

Edit the file and restart Minecraft (or the dedicated server) for changes to take effect.

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.1.x
• Java 25
• Fabric Loader 0.18.4+ with Fabric API, or NeoForge 26.1+

Roadmap

Future versions may add: a "fixed strength" mode (transmitter always emits a chosen 1–15 instead of mirroring its input), Jade/WAILA tooltips for in‑world inspection, and an owner‑only Private gamerule.
