# CC: Create Redstone Link<\/p>\n
Based on https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/cc-redstone-link-bridge. I would have simply contributed the additional feature of adding color support there, but unfortunately that mod is not source available (despite the MIT license on its page).<\/p>\n
This mod connects **Create Redstone Link networks** with **CC:Tweaked computers**. It adds a single block, the **CC Redstone Link Bridge**, which can be placed in the world and then used as a ComputerCraft peripheral.<\/p>\n
This mod requires **Create** and **CC:Tweaked**.<\/p>\n
## What the Mod Does<\/p>\n
The bridge acts as a small adapter between two systems:<\/p>\n
– **Create** provides the Redstone Link network.
\n– **CC:Tweaked** provides Lua control from computers.<\/p>\n
With the bridge block in the world, a connected computer can:<\/p>\n
– read the current signal strength of any Redstone Link frequency pair
\n– send a signal strength to any Redstone Link frequency pair
\n– optionally tag either frequency slot with a 24-bit RGB dye color<\/p>\n
The mod is intentionally minimal. The Lua interface only exposes the operations required for direct network interaction.<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
When the peripheral is used from Lua:<\/p>\n
– `getLinkSignal(freq1, freq2)` looks up the current strength for that frequency pair.
\n– `sendLinkSignal(freq1, freq2, strength)` sets the target frequency pair and transmits the chosen strength.<\/p>\n
Both functions accept two optional trailing arguments, `color1` and `color2`, which apply a dye color to the corresponding frequency slot.
\nThe frequency values are item IDs written as strings. For example, `minecraft:iron_ingot` and `minecraft:oak_sapling` form one valid pair.<\/p>\n
## Crafting Recipe<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Lua API<\/p>\n
Peripheral type:<\/p>\n
– `redstone_link_bridge`<\/p>\n
Methods:<\/p>\n
– `getLinkSignal(freq1, freq2 [, color1 [, color2]])` -> `number`
\n– `sendLinkSignal(freq1, freq2, strength [, color1 [, color2]])`<\/p>\n
### Frequency Values<\/p>\n
`freq1` and `freq2` must be item IDs as strings.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
– `”minecraft:iron_ingot”`
\n– `”minecraft:oak_sapling”`
\n– `”minecraft:redstone”`<\/p>\n
Use an empty string (`””`) if you want to represent an empty frequency value.<\/p>\n
### Frequency Colors<\/p>\n
`color1` and `color2` are optional 24-bit RGB integers in the form `0xRRGGBB`. They are only meaningful when the corresponding frequency item supports Minecraft’s `DYED_COLOR` data component, which is only leather armor and leather horse armor in vanilla. A colored slot is on a different Redstone Link network from an uncolored slot of the same item, and different colors produce different networks.<\/p>\n
The Minecraft Wiki Dye page lists the RGB value each of the 16 standard dyes produces when applied to leather armor in Java Edition. Useful values:<\/p>\n
– `0xB02E26` — Red Dye
\n– `0x3C44AA` — Blue Dye
\n– `0xFED83D` — Yellow Dye
\n– `0x5E7C16` — Green Dye
\n– `0x1D1D21` — Black Dye
\n– `0xF9FFFE` — White Dye<\/p>\n
Pass `nil` (or simply omit the argument) for a slot that should remain uncolored. To color only the second slot, pass `nil` for the first.<\/p>\n
## Example<\/p>\n
“`lua
\nlocal bridge = peripheral.find(“redstone_link_bridge”)
\nassert(bridge, “No redstone_link_bridge found”)<\/p>\n
— Read an existing frequency pair
\nlocal current = bridge.getLinkSignal(“minecraft:diamond”, “minecraft:redstone”)
\nprint(“Current signal:”, current)<\/p>\n
— Send a signal to a frequency pair
\nbridge.sendLinkSignal(“minecraft:diamond”, “minecraft:redstone”, 7)<\/p>\n
— Send on a color-tagged channel. This matches a physical Redstone Link
\n— whose leather-armor slots were dyed with one Red Dye and one Blue Dye.
\nbridge.sendLinkSignal(
\n “minecraft:leather_chestplate”,
\n “minecraft:leather_helmet”,
\n 15,
\n 0xB02E26, — Red Dye
\n 0x3C44AA) — Blue Dye<\/p>\n
— Only the second slot is colored
\nbridge.sendLinkSignal(
\n “minecraft:leather_chestplate”,
\n “minecraft:leather_helmet”,
\n 15,
\n nil,
\n 0x3C44AA) — Blue Dye
