What does XeKr Redstone Display actually show?

It overlays visual indicators on redstone wire (energy level), droppers/dispensers/hoppers (facing direction), noteblocks (tone and timbre), pistons (sticky vs regular on each face), and observers (direction and state). All info is shown directly on the block texture.

Does this pack work without OptiFine?

No. OptiFine is required for the directional and state-based texture variants to load. The pack won't work correctly without it.

What resolution is this pack?

16x. It's a lightweight pack, so it runs fine even on lower-end machines and won't slow down Minecraft the way higher-res packs can.

Which Minecraft versions does XeKr Redstone Display support?

The download provided works on Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.19.4.

Can I use this with other resource packs at the same time?

Yes, you can stack it with other packs in the resource pack menu. Load XeKr Redstone Display above any pack that modifies the same blocks if you want its textures to take priority.

XeKr Redstone Display Resource Pack (1.20.1, 1.19.4)

XeKr Redstone Display is a 16x resource pack built for redstone builders. It adds visual information directly onto block textures so you can read redstone states, facing directions, and block settings at a glance without placing extra blocks or guessing. If you’ve ever wasted ten minutes rotating a dispenser or tracing signal strength by eye, this one’s actually worth installing.

What It Changes

Redstone Wire

Wire textures show the current energy level of each segment. You can trace signal strength across a circuit without setting up comparator readouts everywhere.

Machine Block Directions

Droppers, dispensers, and hoppers display their facing direction on every surface. No more placing a block, firing a test item, discovering it’s backwards, and rotating it blind.

Noteblocks

Noteblock textures show the current tone and timbre. Build note sequences without counting right-clicks or keeping a separate reference chart.

Pistons

Regular pistons and sticky pistons look visually distinct on every face, not just the front. This helps a lot when they’re packed tightly together and you need to tell them apart fast.

Observers

Observer facing direction and activation state are visible on each surface. Useful when observers are stacked or buried inside a compact build where the default texture gives you nothing to work with.

Requirements

This pack requires OptiFine. Install it before loading the pack or the visual indicators won’t show up correctly.
