Muster Bell

A small, physical everyone-ready check for your next expedition.

Place a crafted Muster Bell and right-click it. Friends voluntarily join its roster and use Ready / Not ready. The first volunteer owns the roster and starts each two-minute check. When all enrolled players are nearby and ready, the bell completes the check and gives comparator output 15.

• Up to 16 volunteers within 32 blocks in the same dimension.
• Conventional inventory-style menu: no commands or extra keybinds.
• Absent members remain visible. Nonparticipants receive no completion notification.
• Membership persists; readiness resets after loading/restarting.
• No teleporting, forced joining, inventory inspection or player freezing.

Recipe: five oak planks, one gold ingot and one iron ingot. Install on both client and server. This release is for Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge, Java 21. No external mod dependency. A 26.3 release is not available yet.

New beta; bugs may remain. Dedicated-server startup, menu-handler and restart checks passed. Basic real 1.21.1 graphical interactions and corrected menu titles at GUI scales 2/3 were checked. Testing is not exhaustive: real multiplayer concurrency and broad modpack compatibility have not been established, and audible chimes could not be verified in the test environment.
