📖 Documentation

Complete Wiki: WIKI.md

The wiki includes:

  • Detailed block descriptions
  • Crafting recipes
  • Developer guide
  • Code examples
  • Technical specifications
  • FAQ and troubleshooting

🎮 Example: UNI Gate

The UNI Gate is the centerpiece of Redstone Additions - one block that can be any logic gate:

  1. Place a UNI Gate (crafted with 8 smooth stone slabs + 1 redstone)
  2. Surround with iron blocks in a 3×3×3 cube
  3. Cycle modes using Shift+Right-Click with the Wrench
  4. Connect redstone inputs from any of the 6 sides
  5. Output via iron → redstone block transformation

Modes: AND → OR → NOT → XOR → NAND → NOR → XNOR → (repeat)

🔬 Technical Highlights

  • Modular Architecture - Three namespaces (ra, ra_lib, ra_interactive)
  • Bat-Based Placement - Survival-compatible custom block placement
  • Entity Markers - Invisible armor stands track block state
  • Library System - Reusable orientation, placement, redstone, and inventory systems
  • Performance Optimized - Efficient selectors and tick management

🛠️ For Developers

Redstone Additions is built with extensibility in mind. The ra_lib namespace provides:

  • Orientation System - Calculate facing from player rotation
  • Placement System - Place custom blocks with markers
  • Redstone Detection - Detect power from all 6 directions
  • Inventory Management - Programmatic container operations

See the WIKI.md in the wiki for templates and examples.
