Laser Bridges & Doors in All the Mods 11

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.38 guide

Laser Bridges & Doors is a small, decorative redstone mod that gives you futuristic laser bridges, doors and fences. You place a laser source block, give it a redstone signal, and it projects a laser structure outward. This pack ships version 1.21.1-1-neoforge of the mod.^[1][2]

How it works

• The laser only forms while the source block is powered by redstone, so a lever, button or pressure plate is enough to open and close a laser door or bridge.^[1]
• The length of the laser depends on the redstone signal strength and updates as the signal changes. A weaker signal gives you a shorter bridge.^[1]
• You can recolor a laser source by clicking it with a dye in hand, or have a dispenser apply the dye for you.^[1]
• There are full block laser sources for more complex redstone contraptions, plus a Laser Fence Source Block variant for laser fences.^[1]

The mod is configurable. One option sets the maximum laser length at full power, and all partial lengths are calculated from it. The mod's own default is 15 blocks. Another option lists the blocks that lasers are allowed to cut through and replace.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't confirm whether this pack keeps the mod's default maximum laser length or changes it. Test it in game before you plan a long bridge.

Who it's for

If you like building bases with a sci-fi look, secret entrances or redstone-controlled walkways, this mod is for you. Its job is style and redstone fun rather than tech or resource progression.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't document a place for this mod in the pack's progression, and no in-pack recipe for the laser source blocks could be confirmed. Check the recipe viewer in game. This site does hold All the Mods 11's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

Laser Bridges & Doors adds laser sources that create laser bridges, doors and fences when a redstone signal powers them. Getting started is simple: craft a source, power it, then play with the extras.^[1]

Craft a Laser Source

Everything starts with the Laser Source. The pack changed the mod's own recipe for it and also added a KubeJS recipe, so you have a choice of recipes. Both are shown below exactly as the pack has them.^[3]

Switch between bridge and fence sources

The Laser Fence Source is the fence version of the source. The mod lets you convert between the types in both directions, and the pack changed both conversion recipes too.^[1][3]

Power it and try it out

• Activate a source with a redstone signal. The laser's length depends on the signal strength and updates dynamically.^[1]
• Color a source by clicking it with a dye, or have a dispenser apply the dye.^[1]
• Use full block laser sources when you build more complicated redstone contraptions.^[1]

Laser Bridges & Doors is a simple one: there are no machines, multiblocks, power buffers or item and fluid handling to set up. You place a laser source, hit it with a redstone signal, and it projects a laser platform, door or fence. The two items you work with are Laser Source and Laser Fence Source.^[1][4]

Redstone control and length

A laser only forms while its source is activated by redstone. How long it gets depends on the strength of the signal, and it updates dynamically as the signal changes. That means you can use a redstone dial or a comparator output to stretch or shrink a bridge.^[1]

The mod's maximum length is the length of a laser from a fully powered source, and every shorter length is worked out from that value. The mod's default is 15 blocks. The mod also has a list of blocks that lasers are allowed to replace.^[1]

Unverified The mod can be configured in-game or through a laserbridges.json config file, but the sources here show no config file for this mod in the pack. The maximum length this pack actually uses, and which blocks lasers can cut through, are not shown, so the default of 15 may not apply.

Colors and full block sources

You can color a laser source by clicking it with a dye, or by firing a dye at it from a dispenser.^[1]

There are also full block versions of both sources, named Laser Source Block and Laser Fence Source Block. The mod describes these as the ones to use for more complicated redstone contraptions.^[1][4]

All four source blocks drop themselves when broken.^[5][6][7][8]

Crafting and converting

The pack changes how Laser Sources are made. One craft gives you two sources, so a single End Crystal goes further here.^[9][10]

You can swap between the two kinds of source with a single-item shapeless craft, and the swap works in both directions. The pack defines both of these recipes itself.^[1][9][10]

The sources I have for this pack do not show a tier ladder for this mod. What they do confirm is how its two main blocks are crafted, so this section sticks to that.^[10]

Laser Source

The mod's own shaped recipe for the Laser Source has been changed by the pack, and it makes 2 Laser Sources per craft.^[10]

The pack also adds a second shaped recipe through KubeJS that makes 2 Laser Sources as well. So there are two in-pack ways to craft the same block.^[10]

Going the other way, a changed shapeless recipe gives you a Laser Source back.^[10]

All the Mods 11 0.10.0-beta ships Laser Bridges & Doors 6.1. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 11 0.0.12 or earlier, so you have had it for a long time.^[11]

Mod changelog highlights

• 5.4: fixed a NeoForge crash.^[12]
• 6: added full block laser sources.^[13]
• 6.1: fixed mip levels, thanks to seriousfreezing. This is the version in the pack now.^[11][14]

These come from the mod's own changelogs. The sources here have no pack changelog entries for this mod, so I can't tell you which pack release picked up each update.^{[11][12][13][14]}
