The good old switch and light setup: you flick the switch and the light toggles its state. By building on that simple concept and adding in additional wiring, delays, and other mechanisms like pistons, you can really enhance your abilities in the game and save a lot of time in the process. One of the earliest redstone devices we ever created was born out of frustration.
We were exploring a particularly challenging series of Abandoned Mineshafts and cave systems and were annoyed how long it took to suit up with new gear armor and weapons in order to rush back into the mine to retrieve our lost loot. After a little brainstorming we came up with this design:. When you step onto the pressure plate, the dispensers trigger and shoot out all four pieces of iron armor plus weapons to immediately armor and arm you.
The design is quite simple. Redstone dust connected to the pressure plate at the back of the dispensers. It is activated when you step on the plate and the dispensers spring into action flinging the armor and weapons onto your body. Although the above example has the classic redstone-as-wire configuration, not all redstone creations are necessarily wired-together type creations.
One of our favorite redstone creations uses some redstone pieces that are more mechanical-like than electrical-like: hoppers and levers. Remember back in the Survival Mode tutorial when we learned how to cook food and smelt iron in the furnace?
This simple little device allows us to load up a chest with stuff-to-be-cooked and it will automatically feed it into the furnaces and then into a storage chest.
Raw pork, iron ore, and the like, goes in the top, cooked pork and iron ingots pile up in the chest below. As long as there is fuel, stuff to cook, and space in the storage chest at the bottom, it just keeps chugging along.
The levers turn the individual loading processes on and off. Hoppers are like funnels. Anything on top either dropped in or fed by a chest is moved to an available slot in the device the hopper is connected to.
Rather than grind through a bad design and several revisions in Survival Mode, if the redstone bug bites you, we strongly recommend playing around in Creative Mode to test out your ideas.
The focus back then was on getting right into playing the game. As we mentioned earlier in the lesson, the sheer number of creative things people have done with redstone is amazing.

This face-looking device does exactly what it's name implies: it observes whatever block is placed in front of it. When the block in front of it changes, the observer sends a quick redstone signal pulse for 15 blocks max down a redstone dust wire. The utility of this block is also in its name. It detects day and night cycles , and sends a redstone signal based on that.
You can choose day or night mode by right clicking the daylight sensor. Day mode emits a ten block redstone signal through redstone dust wiring when it's daytime, and night mode does the same but at night.
When active, it powers blocks directly around it. Great for making traps and such, when a player steps into a tripwire string suspended between two tripwire hooks, it sends a 15 block redstone signal while the player or mob stands on top of the wire. The signal dies when the player or mob moves out of the trap. Tripwire also activates blocks directly in the vicinity of the tripwire hook. Another great tool for traps and pranks, a trapped chest will activate any block or wiring within its direct range.
The signal is very poor, lasting only for one block, so you may want to use some additional repeaters for more elaborate traps. This special piece of rail will send out a 15 block strong redstone signal through wiring, and power any blocks within its direct range.
If you're looking to build a minecart system, this is a must-have component. Comparators are probably the toughest component to understand. They don't inherently have a redstone signal, but will rather output the same signal that goes into them. Comparators have two modes: normal the light at the front is off and subtraction the light at the front is on. Normal mode: if the signal coming into a comparator from its side is stronger than the signal going into its back, then the output signal will be turned off.
Subtraction mode: the signal strength coming from the side is subtracted from the signal strength coming from the back. The resulting strength is then outputted from the front. On top of power sources, there are various devices that can be powered with a redstone signal , which will alter the state of the device to cause movement or some type of reaction. Some of these are also just great additions to redstone machine and don't necessarily require any wiring, nor can they all be powered.
Pistons are pretty straightforward. When active, they become extended. Normal pistons will simply push blocks out of place, without holding on to those blocks. Sticky pistons on the other hand will hang on to any blocks , making them fantastic for creating secret doors. Redstone lamps are just a simple source of light , which can be activated with redstone power and wiring.
When turned on, they give off a light level 15 in the surrounding area , making them fantastic lamps. Pair them with daylight sensors, and you'll have automatic lights in your Minecraft base. Not to be confused with dispensers, droppers will quite literally drop an item placed inside them when powered. Minecraft Wiki. Minecraft Wiki Explore. Main Page All Pages.

Redstone circuits. History Talk Other relevant articles: The Redstone mechanics article provides more information on these concepts.
The Redstone components article adds a list and description of all blocks which interact with redstone power. The Mechanisms tutorial complements this article with an assortment of mechanism designs using circuits described here. The Redstone tips tutorial gives general advice about building. Main article: Transmission circuit. Main article: Logic circuit. The "power level" of redstone dust can vary from 0 to Most power components power-up adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, but a few daylight sensors , trapped chests , and weighted pressure plates may create a lower power level.
Redstone repeaters output power level 15 when turned on , but redstone comparators may output a lower power level. Power level drops by 1 for every block of redstone wire it crosses. Thus, redstone wire can transmit power for no more than 15 blocks. To go further, the power level must be re-strengthened — typically with a redstone repeater. Powered redstone wire on top of, or pointing at, an opaque block provides weak power to the block. A weakly-powered block cannot power other adjacent redstone wire, but can still power redstone repeaters and comparators, and activate adjacent mechanism components.
Transparent blocks cannot be powered. When redstone wire is unpowered, it appears dark red. When powered, it becomes bright red at power level 15, fading to darker shades with decreasing power.
Powered redstone wire also produces "dust" particles of the same color. Since Java Edition 1. If redstone wire comes in the from of a cross, the player can right-click to toggle it between a cross and dot. A redstone dot does not power anything adjacent to it, but powers the block under it. In Bedrock Edition , redstone wire uses the following data values:.
