In basic circuits you have three primary components a power source some wire and the mechanism you want to control you get the redstone dust from an underground block called redstone war let’s start with a very basic layout a lever or switch and a door the lever provides power and the wire Takes the power to the mechanism in this case the door the other two switches are slightly different pressure plates only send power when something is on top of them buttons provide power for 0.9 seconds then automatically turn off redstone wire can carry a signal 15 squares before the signal dies Once the wire stops sparkling the signals that repeaters can be used to lose the signal repeaters received input from only one side and send it out the other side repeaters can also be used to put a delay in your signal the switch has four settings representing a point one second Delay point two seconds point three seconds and point four seconds respectively you can daisy-chain them for a longer delay it should be noted that the wire has to be pointing directly into the receiving side and not moving across the front of it this wiring will not work this is the correct wire Redstone torches can be a bit tricky they can be used as a constant power source however they can also be used to flip an incoming signal from on to off when the block that a redstone torch is attached to receives power the torch will turn off notice the wiring after the torch is Now off keep in mind that attaching the wire directly to the torch will not work in this setup the wire is receiving power from both the lever and the torch the lever is worthless here since the wire is always receiving power redstone torches are often used to power block directly above them When the torch is on it is supplying power to the block above it the door is in turn receiving power from the block below it where an object resides visually is a bit misleading for example this wire takes up the space above the square it’s attached to Meaning I can’t put anything else there redstone torches occupy and power the space they’re actually residing in mechanisms can receive power from the block below them as we just illustrated or above them or from the side for many advanced logic circuits outside the scope of this tutorial For example the and gate power will only be passed along both sources the levers in this case are on schematics are available online for all of them so that’s the basics of the redstone circuits thanks for watching Video Information
