Using a Wire Spool on a block of the appropriate type will store the block's position in the spool itemstack; using the spool on a second post block of the appropriate type will clear the itemstack's data and connect the two blocks.

Bundled Cable Posts (left) and Redwire Posts 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.

The blocks that the spools are allowed to connect are determined by block tags:

	"last_post_pos": {"X": int, "Y": int, "Z": int}
