# Drive By Wire — Typewriter
A NeoForge addon for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds a keyboard-driven wire source to the [Drive By Wire (Sable)](https://modrinth.com/mod/drive-by-wire-sable) network, using [Create Aeronautics](https://modrinth.com/mod/create-aeronautics)'s typewriter mechanics.
## What it does
Adds a **Typewriter Hub** block. Right-click it with an empty hand to start typing — your keypresses are broadcast as redstone signals on the Drive By Wire network, one channel per key. Right-click again to stop.
## Blocks
| Block | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| Typewriter Hub | A typewriter and multi-channel wire source in one block. |
## Key channels
The hub exposes a channel for every key:
- Letters `A`–`Z`
- Digits `0`–`9`
- Symbols: Space, `'`, `,`, `-`, `.`, `/`, `;`, `=`, `[`, `]`, `\`
- Hungarian letters: `á`, `é`, `í`, `ó`, `ö`, `ő`, `ú`, `ü`, `ű` (Channel shows when using a hungarian keyboard layout)
- Control: Enter, Tab, Backspace, Delete, Caps Lock
- Navigation: Arrow keys, Page Up/Down, Home, End
- Modifiers: Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Super, Menu
Each channel is active (`1`) while the key is held and inactive (`0`) when released. Only one player can use a hub at a time; disconnecting or losing window focus resets all channels.
## Requirements
| Mod | Version |
|-----|---------|
| NeoForge | 21.1.228+ |
| Simulated (Create: Simulated) | 1.1.3+ |
| Drive By Wire | 0.2.9+ |
| Create | 6.0.10+ |~~~~
## Usage
1. Place a **Typewriter Hub** in the world.
2. Connect wire from it to whatever you want to control.
3. Right-click the hub with an empty hand — your keypresses now drive the network.
4. Right-click again to disconnect.
### Select a wire channel
1. Hold a wire and right-click a Typewriter Hub to select it as the source.
2. Hold **Left Alt** for 0.3 seconds to open a semi-transparent keyboard overlay.
3. Move the mouse over a key, then release Alt to select that wire channel.
4. Right-click the destination to connect it using the selected channel.
Selecting a hub as the wire source shows a tip above the hotbar with your current
quick-selection shortcut alongside the selected channel.
Rebind **Select wire channel** in Minecraft's **Options → Controls → Key Binds**.
Open **Mods → Drive By Wire - Typewriter → Config** and adjust
**Channel selection hold time (ms)** (default: `300`; range: `0`–`5000`; `0` opens immediately).
Save with **Done**; the new delay applies without restarting the game.
The overlay uses the active keyboard layout, including supported Hungarian characters.
The current channel is highlighted in green; the hovered key is highlighted in blue.
Release outside a key or press Escape to cancel. The overlay is available while wiring,
and does not open during hub typing. Mouse-wheel selection remains available.
## About This Project
This project was developed with substantial assistance from **Claude Code** (Anthropic) and **Codex** (OpenAI). It was
built iteratively on top of the official
[NeoForge mod project template (Mod Generator)](https://neoforged.net/mod-generator/).
Beyond the initial template setup, the implementation, refactors, bug fixes, documentation, and validation were
generated and refined through collaborative, human-directed development with these AI coding assistants.
