Create: Redstone Link Tablet

A smart-home control panel for your Create contraptions.

The Link Tablet is a handheld device with an app-style touchscreen that toggles Create's Redstone Links remotely. Lights, doors, trains, farms, the entire factory — name them, give them an icon, and flick them on and off from one screen, anywhere in link range.

Apps, not levers

• Up to 32 apps per tablet — each with a name, color, an optional item icon, and a persistent on/off state.
• Scenes — one app can drive up to 8 frequencies at once ("Shut down the factory", "Open all doors").
• Momentary apps — mark an app as momentary and it only transmits while you hold the button. Doorbells, dispensers, one-shot pulses — and a disconnect can never leave the signal stuck on.
• Per-app signal strength (1–15) — when several apps drive the same frequency, the strongest wins, exactly like stacked Redstone Links.
• Two layouts — icon grid or list with toggle switches, switchable per player.
• Real Create frequencies — apps use Create's two-item frequency system with a searchable in-GUI picker (no physical items consumed). Anything a Redstone Link or Linked Controller can trigger, the tablet can too.

Place it on the wall

Sneak + right-click any surface to mount the tablet on a wall, floor, or ceiling — it becomes a block that transmits from its own position while the chunk is loaded, and its screen glows (light level 7) whenever an app is running. Sneak + right-click with an empty hand to pick it back up; apps and case color survive the trip.

Make it yours

Craft the tablet together with any dye to recolor its case — all 16 colors, apps preserved, re-dye whenever. Plus a full set of UI sounds: toggle clicks with distinct on/off pitch, a save chime, frequency ticks, and a faint click nearby players can hear when someone flips an app.

Getting started

Craft the tablet from brass-age Create parts — a Linked Controller rehoused in a brass shell with a proper screen and a signal amplifier:

Then:

1. Right-click to open the tablet, tap + to create an app.
2. Pick two items as the frequency (exactly like tuning a Redstone Link) and hit Add — repeat to stack a scene — then Save.
3. Set your receiving Redstone Links to the same frequency.
4. Left-click toggles, right-click edits.

While an app is on and the tablet is anywhere in your inventory, you are the transmitter — range and chunk behavior match Create's handheld Linked Controller. Mounted tablets transmit from the block instead.

Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.21.1 · NeoForge · Java 21 · requires Create 6.x (server and client).
• Full multiplayer support: server-authoritative edits, per-player transmitters.
• Plays nicely with other link-network senders — receivers take the strongest signal, like stacked Redstone Links.
• MIT licensed, free to use in any modpack.
