Usage
Using a Redwire Spool on a block of the appropriate type will store the block's position in the spool; using the spool on a second post block of the appropriate type will connect the two blocks.

| Bundled Cable Posts (left) and Redwire Posts (right) that have been connected by wire spools |
Players cannot place blocks where the hanging wires are, and the hanging wires cannot be placed where blocks are.
There is a maximum distance at which wire posts can be connected to each other; attempting to connect blocks farther apart than this distance will fail, and half-formed connections will be cancelled if the player holding the item moves too far away from the wire post. This distance can be set in the Server Config.
