Tiny Redstone is a forge mod that adds many tiny redstone pieces that you can put together to form tiny redstone circuits. These circuits can be copied onto blueprints and shared inside and outside your Minecraft world.
They can be picked up, moved, rotated, and linked with other circuits. You can even dye and camouflage them to match your build!
Each block space can hold up to 512 components in an 8x8x8 grid. You can choose which sides each piece of Tiny Redstone Dust connects and make your circuits super compact.
Add-On Mods
Tiny redstone is a vanilla-focused mod with vanilla-like components. Here are a couple mods that take it beyond vanilla and make it more powerful.
Tiny Gates
Adds tiny, compact, commonly used redstone gates for building small integrated circuits.
Tiny Pipes
Adds modular pipes for transferring items, fluid, forge energy and redstone that can share block space with each other and Tiny Redstone circuits (has full sized conduit-like pipes too).
Ranged Wireless Redstone
Adds redstone transmitters and receivers (full sized and tiny) allowing redstone signals to be transmitted wirelessly over a limited distance.
TinyCreate
Mod by DFined that adds tiny Create components like the Tiny Redstone Link (which is compatible with Create's full-sized redstone links). There's also a tiny analog lever and 7-segment display.
How to Play
Craft some Tiny Redstone components and (optionally) a Redstone Panel. Right click with the components to place them in world or on a Redstone Panel. Left click with a component or Redstone Wrench in your hand to remove them. Right click with a Redstone Wrench to rotate the panel (if placed on a Redstone Panel). Pick up the circuit with all it's components and circuitry intact by shift-right clicking it with Redstone Wrench, or simply use a pick or your bare hands.
Tiny Redstone components can be placed anywhere, but there are some advantages to using a Redstone Panel.
Redstone Panels can be rotated. Redstone Panels insulate your circuit from the neighboring block. This will prevent a component from powering the block below and then causing that block to power all of the components touching that block. Redstone Panels can be placed in any orientation. So, you can place circuits on your walls and ceilings. Tiny Redstone Dust, Repeaters, and Comparators placed in world can only be oriented horizontally.
See Tiny Components on the wiki for descriptions of all the tiny redstone things you can put on panels.
See Copying and Sharing Circuits on the wiki for details on how to save your circuit to a blueprint, copy it to other panels, export it for use in other worlds, import one to use in your world.

Yes, I would love to see this mod in your open source modpack. A link back to this page is appreciated.

Support
Minecraft Versions
Tiny Redstone is available from 1.16 up to the current version.
Only the most recent Minecraft version will receive new features. Major bugs will be fixed on all versions if found.
I will not backport. I have very little free time and would rather spend that time making the mod better.
Other Mod Loaders
I won't be porting this mod to Fabric or any other mod loader other than Forge/neoforge. I just don't have the time to rewrite this mod and then to maintain another set of ports.
Credits, Acknowledgements and Thanks
Inspiration for this mod comes from many mods and vanilla Redstone, of course. Probably at the top of the list is Super Circuit Maker. Although there are many differences, I had missed being able to create my own compact redstone circuits, and made this mod to fulfill that deep longing. Thanks also goes to the Forge and NeoForge teams and to the many mod authors who came before me. Without their community contributions, this would not have been possible.
Special thanks to lublak for extensive early beta testing, German translations and many great feature additions!
All Versions
+ Add Version
- Improved Create Aeronautics compatibility. You can now interact with circuits while seated in a sub-level.
- In creative mode, panels with components now drop when broken. This prevents accidental loss work when accidentally left clicking with the wrong item in hand.
- add forceSolidOn flag to prevent destruction of panel blocks by water.
- Rotation support (future Sable compat)
- Default empty voxel shape for non-base panels (future Sable compat)
- Add renderUpdate boolean to PanelCellSync
- Updated and enabled reload listener for tiny blocks to disable or override textures for certain blocks to use as tiny blocks.
- Fixed error in more_tiny_blocks.json and renamed to tiny_block_exclusions.json to better describe its contents.
- Add default block tinting for blocks with tints (grass, leaves, etc.)
- Tiny blocks use Model Manager to get textures rather than using custom codec.
- Create Aeronautics compatibility and workarounds:
- Rotation support when assemblies are disassembled in a different direction than assembled.
- Empty default voxel shape for circuits without panels to prevent full block player collision (Sable does not support dynamic voxel shapes for player collision).
- Circuits are no longer vulnerable to water.
Moved client side "display_mode" config to server.
Replace workaround doing temporary manipulation of The One Probe config values in favor of the new IProbeConfigProvider which allows local, temporary suspension of configs in order to suppress The One Probe's default redstone output when looking at individual components.
Missing support for The One Probe (not yet available for 26.1)
Jade support coming.
Improve rendering of all components by adding side direction aware shading. The shading now resembles other Minecraft blocks making them look more natural and realistic.
