Unfortunately those logs don't contain the crash details. I'll need them to investigate this

Looks like Waterlogged Redstone replaces the original Redstone block with its own class. Crash comes from ProjectRed side, which tries to cast Blocks.REDSTONE:

Encountered an unexpected exception

Checking if this can be done some other way

Confirmed that Waterlogged Redstone is creating a brand new subclass of Block and basically copying the vanilla RedStoneWireBlock source before making modifications. While I can use reflection to get at the shouldSignal field and change it, I don't see any reason why RedStoneWireBlock can't be subclassed directly.

You can point the mod author of WLRS to this issue. This won't be fixed on ProjectRed side (unless a concrete reason for not subclassing RedStoneWireBlock can be given).
