Wireless Redstone

The Problem

  • Craftbook mechanics are great, the elevators, doors etc. For all other vanilla mechanics though, it gets very lackluster when you have craftbook on your server. You want the power of something more to match everything else you set it on your home base. -All plugins or datapacks available for my minecraft 1.21.5 purpur server, were either outdated like https://polymart.org/product/6130/wirelessredstone-1-20/reviews and did not work, or like moar redstone https://modrinth.com/datapack/moar-redstone which required a datapack, a resource pack and something else I do not even care to look back into or try to remember. The setup alone is tedious, then the major problem, the users on my server will not be able to comprehend and figure that mechanism for wireless redstone easily. It is confusing for even me, who has 10+ years of minecraft and using plugins on a server experience.
  • *CraftBook can easily implement this functionality with it's already jam packed and awesome features list.

A Solution

  • Have a Transmitter Sign with a button/lever/torch next to it and Receiver Sign with whatever you need it to power. Multiple receivers compatible.
  • Wireless Redstone, walk in the park for Craftbook5.

Alternatives

No response

Anything Else?

  • This seemed like a good solution - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUnDwo5ued0&t but I know the Samkio & Torrent team will execute properly. For some reason I think there was a plugin by you both for wireless redstone with the basically same setup. Y'all really were the backbone of the server but I could be mixing it up.

I will try not to fan out here. I used many of the Samkio & Torrent's plugins and the youtube videos for my minecraft server some 10+ years ago with my friends. It got us through much of our school years. We talked so much about how amazing they were back then. I am now 27 and am hosting a purpur mc 1.21.5 server for my soon to be wife and her family. The nostalgia and joy when I saw craftbook5 was updated and available for the server. I will find a way to show my appreciation to you both.

I can see the wireless redstone system being split from ICs being a fairly sensible idea (either fully split from, or existing as both). My only concern is that it'd be semi reinventing the concept of ICs in a simpler form factor, while just making ICs simpler might make more sense.

Something that I'd thought of ages ago was a wireless redstone system that worked by basically "entangling" levers together. Less about automation / as part of circuits, leaving that for ICs, and more about syncing the states of levers together. Eg, player hits lever 1, and then it updates all other "attached" levers to the new state. It'd be bidirectional, and basically mean multiple levers around the place would share a state.

Overall the main issue with any system like this is having to track all of the different attached transmitters/receivers.
