Mine Red Base for iPhone & iPad

Mine Red Base brings professional redstone documentation to your iPad with native iOS integration. The app operates entirely offline, storing all mechanism cards, build stages, and photos locally on your device with no cloud sync or account requirements. Your engineering knowledge base remains completely private and accessible even when your iPad has zero internet connectivity.

Designed specifically for iPad workflows, Mine Red Base supports Split View and Stage Manager for side-by-side documentation while watching tutorials or referencing other builds. The app leverages iOS photo integration, allowing you to attach images directly from your Photos library or capture new screenshots without leaving the app. Files integration enables you to export mechanism databases or backup your documentation to iCloud Drive manually when needed.

The interface adapts to both portrait and landscape orientations with optimized layouts for each. Keyboard shortcuts accelerate navigation for iPad users with external keyboards. The app respects iOS system preferences for text size and appearance mode, automatically switching between light and dark themes based on your device settings while maintaining the signature redstone color palette for mechanism status indicators and category tags.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mine Red Base requires iOS 16.0 or later. This ensures compatibility with modern iPad features like Stage Manager and Split View multitasking. The app works on all iPhone models from iPhone 8 and later, and all iPad models that support iOS 16 including iPad Pro, iPad Air (3rd generation and later), iPad (9th generation and later), and iPad mini (5th generation and later). Version 1.1 is 11.3 MB and installs in under 30 seconds on most devices.

Yes, Mine Red Base operates entirely offline with zero network requirements. All mechanism cards, build stages, photos, and category tags are stored locally on your iPhone or iPad. The app never connects to the internet, performs no background data sync, and requires no account creation. You can document redstone builds in airplane mode, underground, or anywhere without cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity. Your engineering database remains completely private and accessible only on your device.

Mine Red Base is a universal iOS app that installs on both iPhone and iPad using the same App Store download. The interface automatically adapts to each device form factor. On iPad you get optimized layouts for larger screens with support for Split View and Stage Manager. On iPhone the interface uses compact navigation suitable for one-handed use. However, because the app operates fully offline with no cloud sync, your mechanism database exists separately on each device. To transfer data between devices you must manually export and import using Files app integration.

The Mine Red Base app itself is 11.3 MB after installation. Storage usage grows as you add mechanism cards and attach photos. Each mechanism card with text-only documentation uses approximately 50–100 KB. Photos attached to build stages consume storage based on their original resolution—a typical screenshot from Minecraft PE is 2–4 MB. If you document 50 mechanisms with an average of 10 photos each, expect total storage usage around 1–2 GB. You can check exact storage usage in iOS Settings → General → iPhone/iPad Storage → Mine Red Base.

Mine Red Base does not include automatic iCloud sync, but your mechanism database is included in standard iOS device backups if you have iCloud Backup enabled in Settings. When you restore your iPhone or iPad from an iCloud backup, all mechanism cards, build stages, and photos restore automatically. For manual control, you can export your entire database using the Files integration feature and save it to iCloud Drive, then import it on another device. This gives you complete ownership over when and how your redstone documentation moves between devices.

Mine Red Base is currently available exclusively for iOS on iPhone and iPad. There is no version for other platforms. The app is designed specifically for iOS workflows including Split View, Stage Manager, Files app integration, and iOS photo library access. All core features—mechanism cards, build stages, photo documentation, category tags, and progress tracking—are identical across iPhone and iPad. The only difference is interface layout optimization for each screen size.

Yes, Mine Red Base supports Apple Pencil on compatible iPad models. You can use Apple Pencil for precise text selection when editing mechanism descriptions or build stage notes. The app uses standard iOS text input fields, so you can tap with Apple Pencil to position the cursor or select text. However, Mine Red Base version 1.1 does not include drawing or annotation features—you cannot sketch redstone circuits directly in the app. For hand-drawn diagrams, create them in a separate app like Notes or Freeform, export as images, then attach those images to your mechanism cards using the photo documentation feature.

Mine Red Base supports iOS Family Sharing, allowing up to six family members to download the app using a single App Store purchase. Since the app is free, any family member can download it directly without purchase approval. However, because Mine Red Base operates completely offline with no cloud sync or multi-user features, each family member maintains a separate mechanism database on their own device. There is no way to share mechanism cards or collaborate on builds between family members within the app—each user's documentation remains private and local to their iPhone or iPad.
