Redstone Additions

97 custom blocks. 9 tools. 116 recipes. 2 jetpacks and 3 upgrade kits. Vanilla datapack for Minecraft 26.3.

Every block the pack adds, in one place. Click to enlarge.

Redstone Additions expands vanilla redstone with logic gates, automation machines, storage, sensors, wireless signaling, chunk loading, multiblocks, and liquid/gas/electric transport networks.

It also goes beyond redstone: jetpacks that fit onto any chestplate, enchant crafting that gambles items on an enchanting table, generators that regrow their own material, and ender links that move items, fluids, power and players between distant places.

All systems run as a pure datapack using marker entities and function-driven runtime logic. No mods required.

Any system / block can be disabled or configured in the new settings panel. (Admin only) There is also client side settings.

Version Compatibility

Supported: Minecraft 26.3 (data pack format 121).

The pack is generated from Kotlin by Kore, which writes every file in the exact shape 26.3 reads. pack.mcmeta declares format 121 only, so other versions refuse the pack rather than loading it half-broken.

On 1.21.9 – 26.2, use v5.1.17, the last release of the old build: it covers 1.21.9 – 26.3 through overlays that the single-version build no longer needs.

I recommend using Bundles Beyond for better bundle previews.

Development Setup

The pack is Kotlin in redstone_additions/, turned into the data pack by Kore with Gradle.

Prerequisites

• JDK 25
• Git

Build and install into a world

git clone https://github.com/AnCarsenat/Redstone-Additions.git
cd Redstone-Additions/redstone_additions

./gradlew koreBuild                                  # build into build/kore/redstone_additions/
./gradlew koreRun -Pworld="My World"                 # build and install into a world
./gradlew koreRun -Pworld --continuous               # rebuild on every save, world from local.properties

Then /reload in game. -Pworld takes a world name (under your Minecraft saves/) or a path; a bare -Pworld reads ra.world from an untracked local.properties (copy local.properties.example), which can also point ra.minecraftDir at a launcher instance.

Full details: Contributing Guidelines and Getting Started.

Installation

Option A (Modrinth)

1. Download the latest .zip from Modrinth.
2. Place it in .minecraft/saves/<your_world>/datapacks/.
3. Run /reload.

To update later, run python updater.py from inside the pack's folder in datapacks/ (or next to the zip): it checks Modrinth and installs a newer version after asking.

Option B (from source)

Build it with Gradle and install it straight into a world — see Development Setup:

cd redstone_additions && ./gradlew koreRun -Pworld="<your world>"

Then run /reload.

Starter command:

/function ra:give_all_items
