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

Basic Normal Animated

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

TextureGUI

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)

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.
