Instant Redstone Bus

Are you sick and tired of using like 50 repeaters just to get a redstone signal across your project, only to have it be delayed by 10 seconds? Sure you can use those fangdangled BUD hacks with pistons, but that takes up too much room and is unintuitive. Sure you can use command blocks, but sometimes you need fast redstone on a smaller scale. Enter the redstone bus: these puppies act just like repeaters with no delay. Point them in a direction and they propagate the 15-strength signal all the way down. Use them in computer builds, complex wiring projects, or anywhere you just can't deal with slow repeaters anymore. Comes with a handy wand which lays down buses like nobody's business. Should work on local and server.

 

[Basic instructions]

(For creative only)

In the redstone section will appear two new items: the redstone bus and the redstone bus wand. Place the redstone bus down; it works like a repeater with no delay, and no, it can't be locked (but it can lock repeaters.) The redstone bus block is a giant arrow. Signal goes in, signal comes out: no delay. It should interact with every other type of redstone block. The wand is kind of unique, left click an already-placed-down bus and look at where you want the end of the bus to be--the range is limited to a few hundred blocks. The buses are limited to 512 blocks in a sequence, but if you need more for some reason, just place anything else in-between which transfers the signal (e.g. a block, redstone dust, repeater.) The buses are either on (15) or off (0.)

 

[Extra Details]

This is a mod for Fabric and requires the Fabric API.

There is a brief showcase on YouTube.

This is an open source project, hosted on Github.

Report bugs at the issue tracker, and I may get around to fixing it.

 

[Known issues]

Repeater clocks do not work when a bus is placed directly after a repeater.

Redstone dust connects to the side of the bus; this is visual only.

Placing active buses with the wand does not do block updates.
