A Redstone Repeater is a Redstone-related Block that was added in Update 0.14.0. It is used in Redstone circuits.
Obtaining[]
Redstone Repeaters can be obtained by Crafting them in a Crafting Table.
Crafting[]
- 2 Redstone Torches + 1 Redstone + 3 Stone => 1 Redstone Repeater
Usage[]
Since Redstone signals decay when travelling, a Redstone Repeater repeats this signal up to full strength, allowing for a new 15 Block travel distance. By tapping the Redstone Repeater the delay of the Signal can change from 1 tick (0.1 s) up through 4 ticks (0.4 s). By connecting more Redstone Repeaters, greater delays can be created.
Redstone Repeaters can also detect if the block connected to the Redstone Repeater is powered or activated. If so, the Redstone Repeater will send a full strength signal onward. Redstone Repeaters also lock the direction of the signal, as a diode, as signals can not go backwards through a Redstone Repeater.
Locking[]
A powered or non-powered Redstone Repeater can be locked in its current state if another powered Redstone Repeater is facing into the first Redstone Repeater.
Trivia[]
- Redstone Repeaters are often used with Note Blocks to make songs of greater lengths.
- While Redstone wire picks up power from the Block beneath, the Redstone Repeater does not do this. This allows for smaller circuits in some cases.
- Redstone Repeaters can also be placed parallel to another Redstone Repeater (or Redstone wire) without being connected as two parallel Redstone wire would do.
- They are often confused with Redstone Comparators.
- Redstone Repeaters can be placed underwater and are fully functionnal.
