Just Some Switches

Just Some Switches adds 4 new switch models to Minecraft that function just like the vanilla redstone lever, in two tiers: Basic (fixed appearance) and Switches (fully customizable textures). Unpowered and powered indicators are built into the model – no particles.

New Model Styles

• Lever – Classic light switch/lever style
• Rocker – Rocker switch style
• Slide – Slide switch style with indicator blending modes
• Buttons – Two button switch style (toggles on/off like a lever, does not auto-depress like a vanilla button)

Basic Blocks

• Includes normal and inverted variants of each style

Switches Blocks

• Can be placed in any orientation on a block face (wall, ceiling, or floor) with a ghost preview showing placement before confirming

• All switch types support waterlogging
• Hold Shift and Right Click with the Switches Wrench on any Switch (does not work on Basic) to open the Texture Customization GUI

Texture Customization GUI

• Place almost any solid block into the Base(right) or Toggle(left) texture slot
• Dropdown menu under each texture slot allows the choice of which face of the inserted block to use
• Dropdown menu next to the round arrow graphic changes the rotation of the texture
• Power indicator dropdown menu under the 3d preview allows the choice of which texture shows when powered/unpowered (Default, Alt, or None)
• Real-time texture and 3D preview (Note: that textures with a tint/overlay may not render correctly in the previews)
• 95%+ vanilla block compatibility + compatibility with many modded solid blocks (including blocks with tinting and overlays)

Crafting

• Basic blocks are crafted from a vanilla lever + stick
• Switches blocks are crafted from a basic switch + dye + terracotta + stick + stone
• Normal and inverted variants convert freely via shapeless crafting
• All recipes are browsable in JEI

Block Filtering (for Modpack Creators)

The mod automatically accepts most solid, full-cube blocks as texture sources. For finer control, two block tags let you override this:

• justsomeswitches:switches_allowed — Blocks in this tag bypass all checks and are always accepted
• justsomeswitches:switches_blocked — Blocks in this tag are always rejected (takes priority over allowed)

To customize, create a datapack with the tag file at: data/justsomeswitches/tags/blocks/switches_allowed.json or switches_blocked.json

Tag references from other mods must use "required": false to avoid errors if that mod isn’t installed.
