Taking Inventory: Redstone Comparator

This is all you need to be aware of the operation of the comparator. Skins There's a special feature that makes this item more useful than it is: certain blocks, when placed in the same space as a comparator, will emit a signal strength based on the state of the block.



Let's take a look at a few examples to demonstrate what I mean. The most important one is the container. While we'll use chests, this category also includes dispensers, hoppers and furnaces. A comparator that is placed near a chest will emit a signal strength that is in proportion to the amount of it is full - -15 for full, 0 for empty, and all levels in between. This could be useful for triggering a light, perhaps when your chests are getting full and need emptying.



It can also be used for other blocks. Set a comparator in front of a cake. You'll observe that it's emitting 14 strength from the front. One slice of it will go down 2. Eat another slice and it goes down two more. You could create a system that sounds an alarm when someone eats it.



Or try putting an electronic comparator on top of a composter. It will emit an intensity signal based on the amount of compost in it is. It can be paired with a hopper filled with organic material above it, and your composter will automatically replenish when it is dry.



A jukebox will give the strength of its signal, which indicates what music is playing. Beehives emit a signal depending on how much honey is inside the. Lecterns emit signals based on the page the user is reading in the book. A frame of an item will emit a signal based on the rotation of the item within.



There are many ways to combine. Do you have any suggestions? Experiment and send your best redstone build designs to [email protected] with the subject line Redstone! We'd loveto discover some amazing inventions!
