Talk:Redstone Dust

Block states each direction have an "Up", do we need those images? sample: 👁 Image

I say upload them, that can't do hard; and considering the infobox shows all states, this would complete it. Don't forget combinations with other side and up values. FVbico (talk) 09:23, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I completed at local. How naming those files? These names are like: Active Redstone Duast (NES+NE-Up).png is it ok? Pneuma01 (talk) 12:21, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay. Now I understand. Pneuma01 (talk) 12:29, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Redstone dust also configures itself to nearby target blocks, but I am not sure whether target blocks should be classified as transmission components. If the answer is yes, the page transmission component need to be updated; If not, this page needs to be updated. --218.254.154.6 12:15, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

The current page says redstone doesn't need smelting. However, even if no one in their right mind will use a furnace to smelt redstone ore (even a non-enchanted pick gives more than one dust per ore), it still should be considered a possible recipe. I do not know how to add those fancy animated smelting charts, but if someone smarter than me know how, please consider adding the smelting recipe Redstone ore --> Redstone dust.

I know that there is some disparity on what blocks redstone dust will connect to, so there should be a section on which blocks it connects to. For example:

But of course more professionally formatted.

The recipie for the clock item is missing (i tried to fix it but as that section used manely images i was unable to do so) Ugglis2 (talk) 18:34, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

I nulledited Clock and now the recipe shows up. -- 👁 Image

ok good Ugglis2 (talk) 17:45, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Currently, the sidebar just shows an "Active" and an "Inactive" state. Should this be changed to all the levels of power (0-15)? -Randy, RandyFromIdaho 17:25, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

If we went with all of the block states, then have fun with the 1296 different states. Conciseness is important. On pages like wool, maybe, but those renders are kinda more different, unlike here, where they're not usually too different. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  19:42, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

I would just like to prevent the misconception that redstone only has 2 power states, not show every single way that it can be configured. -Randy, RandyFromIdaho 01:12, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Yeah fair enough, though how necessary it is, I don't know. Best wait for someone more experienced than me to reply. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  01:18, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

The phrase "Your Redstone looks like blood splatter" is a common way in the Minecraft community to comment on the visual appearance of Redstone circuits, usually when they are spread out and somewhat messy. The Nintendo GameCube Editor 7829 (talk) 13:04, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Umm... ok? It's not like this is something we should add to the article. -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  14:35, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

I was trying to find the formula for the color of the wire, but I couldn't find it anywhere so I found the code responsible for it:

privatestaticfinalint[]COLORS=Util.make(newint[16],$$0->{
for(int$$1=0;$$1<=15;++$$1){
float$$2=(float)$$1/15.0F;
float$$3=$$2*0.6F+($$2>0.0F?0.4F:0.3F);
float$$4=Mth.clamp($$2*$$2*0.7F-0.5F,0.0F,1.0F);
float$$5=Mth.clamp($$2*$$2*0.6F-0.7F,0.0F,1.0F);
$$0[$$1]=ARGB.colorFromFloat(1.0F,$$3,$$4,$$5);
}
});

With variable names, it would look like this:

privatestaticfinalint[]COLORS=Util.make(newint[16],l->{
for(intstrength=0;strength<=15;++strength){
floatnormalizedStrength=(float)strength/15.0F;
floatred=normalizedStrength*0.6F+(normalizedStrength>0.0F?0.4F:0.3F);
floatgreen=Mth.clamp(normalizedStrength*normalizedStrength*0.7F-0.5F,0.0F,1.0F);
floatblue=Mth.clamp(normalizedStrength*normalizedStrength*0.6F-0.7F,0.0F,1.0F);
l[strength]=ARGB.colorFromFloat(1.0F,red,green,blue);
}
});

As a formula it looks like

rgb(0.6*signal strength/15 + 0.3 + 0.1*[signal strength>0], clamp(0.7*(signal strength/15)^2 - 0.5), clamp(0.6*(signal strength/15)^2 - 0.7))

As a list of colors it is
 #4C0000,
 #700000,
 #7A0000,
 #840000,
 #8E0000,

Oops, miscalculated the colors, it's actually

and redstone dust is not just 0 and 15 its (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,7,9,10 Block.name (talk) 03:43, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
