− | '''Blocks of Redstone''' (also known as '''Redstone Blocks''') are mineral [[blocks]] and act as piston-movable redstone [[Redstone Circuits#Power sources|power sources]] which cannot be turned off. When power is applied to the block, it is unaffected and will still output a redstone signal regardless. However, because of the way blocks act, it cannot power blocks adjacent to it. | + | A '''Block of Redstone''' is a mineral block that is crafted from nine [[Redstone]]. While it can be used as a decoration, it also has the unique property of being a solid block that always outputs redstone power, which can be useful for Redstone circuits, as it is the only power source that can be moved by a [[Piston]]. |

− | == Usage ==
| |
− |
| |
− | The block of redstone was introduced to provide a solid block to act as a power source. A block of redstone will power adjacent [[redstone wire]] (including above and below), correctly-facing [[redstone repeater]]s and [[redstone comparator]]s, and adjacent mechanisms ([[piston]]s, [[redstone lamp]]s, etc.). It will not power adjacent opaque blocks. Redstone wire will configure itself to point towards an adjacent block of redstone.
| |
− |
| |
− | The block of redstone serves as compact storage for [[redstone]], like other blocks of minerals ([[Block of Iron|block of iron]], [[Block of Gold|block of gold]], etc.).
| |
− |
| |
− | The block can also act as a movable power source, such as being pushed by a [[piston]], and generally makes circuits that use pistons more compact. A block of redstone can be used like a [[redstone repeater]], requiring more space but without the 1-tick delay, by having a [[Sticky Piston]] push the block into powering other parts of the circuit.
| |
− |
| |
− | Blocks of Redstone can also be used in conjunction with sticky pistons to create piston clocks that don't require the use of a [[redstone torch]].
| |
− |
| |
− | Even various T flip-flops are possible and one of them is the currently smallest flip-flop known.
