Historical Telgraph

📡 Historical Telegraph (Forge 1.20.1)

This mod introduces a basic telegraph-style communication system to Minecraft, inspired by early wired communication technologies.

Players can place telegraph machines and connect them using cables to create a network that transmits messages between locations.

⚙️ Features

• Telegraph machines that can be connected with cables

• Network-based message transmission

• GUI-based communication system

• Audio and particle feedback when sending and receiving messages

• Simple cooldown system to prevent spam

🧠 How It Works

• Build a connection between telegraph machines using cables

• Use a command to send a message through the network

• All connected machines receive the transmission

This system is loosely inspired by early telegraph networks, where information was sent across long distances through physical connections.

🔊 Voice Integration

This mod is built to work alongside Simple Voice Chat.

• Required on both client and server

• Provides the underlying voice system used by the mod

📌 Development Note

This mod is currently being developed by one person only.

Because of this, newly added blocks currently use existing vanilla Minecraft models and textures where possible. Custom models are not planned for now, since there is no dedicated modeler working on the project at this time.

The current focus is on gameplay features, stability, and keeping the mod lightweight, immersive, and vanilla-friendly.
