Redstone For Dummies

Posted by on January 22, 2012 No comments

Minecraft Redstone Tutorial

Always wanted to learn how to use Redstone to its full “power” but you do not know the basics? Well thats why I am here, below I will list the basic functions of certain Redstone items and also a video which will take you through the basic Redstone facts you need to know.

Redstone Wire

  • Mined from a Redstone ore with a iron pickaxe or higher.
  • You can place Redstone 15 times in one direction from its power source until you must have a new power source or a diode (repeater).
  • Redstone can not be place up the sides of blocks but will connect if there is 1 wire on top and 1 wire on the bottom.
  • You can find Redstone on most levels but the prime level is 36.

Redstone Torch

  • Redstone torches can be crafted like a normal torch but replace the coal with Redstone wire.
  • A Redstone torch is a continous power output and will refresh the Redstone wire for another 15 blocks.
  • Redstone torches will power the block above them and one block next to that powered block.

Diode (Redstone Repeater)

  • Mainly use to build circuits and can be compacted so the circuit is smaller
  • There are three settings on a Diode; Fast, Medium and Slow. Once you place the Diode it will start on fast but by hitting the end of the Diode you can change the state.
  • Once the circuit is activated by a lever, button or a pressure plate it will keep repeating until you stop it by removing a Redstone wire or flicking the switch.
  • If you place a diode at the 14th wire it will refresh the current so it can carry on for another 15 blocks.

Here is a video that will take you through the basics of redstone.

Redstone guide

I will be doing a more advanced redstone guide in the near future so stay tuned.
