Description
If you have ever seen your wire turn red when you were almost close enough to make a connection and wished you could just have a longer wire you are in luck.
This simple mod gives you a craftable wire tool that gives you a wire up to 50 blocks long. You can make connections without having to be close to your target. As long as you can see your relay, switch, or device you can complete the connection from a distance. It also solves the problem of having the wire break because you have to go around a corner or some obstacle to get to your target. Happy wiring 🙂

I have no problem with the last version on 2.1. I downloaded the new one, but it is the same as the old one, even the file timestamps haven’t changed. Did you not upload an update or just letting everyone know that it has been tested on 2.1 and it works?
As with most of my mods, I wrote this one to be simple clean and highly compatible unless the fun pimps do something drastic to their code. This means it will remain compatible and not break game saves in the near future. So I test the code with each update and if no problems arise, I repost to let everyone know it still works.
I figured that was it. It is a simple mod, but I love it.
OR in the items.xml look up wiretool then under <property class=”Action1″> you can add this line…
<property name=”MaxWireLength” value=”50″/> Put the value to whatever number you want the value to be. So 50 is 50 blocks.
You can do that either client OR server side.
OR if you don’t want to craft this special wire tool and want to get rid of all the other stuff in this mod’s files you can make your own and just use the line…
<append xpath=”/items/item[@name=’meleeToolWireTool’]”>
<property class=”Action1″>
<property name=”MaxWireLength” value=”50″/>
</property>
</append>
Super simple less stuff that needs to load.
Nice mod btw.
Leider geht der Mod nicht bei mir
Just to make sure, did you make that new DA Wire Tool with the workbench?
At first, I tried to use old wiretool and thought that this mod does not work 😀
Hi, is there a way for a v2 mod?
V1 cant start my server when installed :/
thank you very much
I have used it extensively in V 2.1 with no problems. Just tested in 2.1 (b10). You might have another mod causing problems. Please update me if you are still having issues.
Just to let you know, this works in v1.4, 2.0 and 2.1.

Thanks for this lol, yesterday i was just wiring some electrical fences but i always forget how short the wires are, this solves the issue 1000%
No problem. That was exactly why I made this mod. Wiring otherwise is just impractical 🙂
