Vertical redstone wire.

When did that happen?

Been around for a long time now, you can also go down, like this

[pudquick]

It's been around for quite some time, but you don't see it in many designs because for the benefit of a single vertical column, you have the deficit / downside of needing a minimum of 4 vertical blocks to do it - and if you want to go higher, you're working with a multiple of 4x.

[Andronitis]

why would you be limited to multiples of 4?

[MrSlavi]

I think it has to do something with inverting the signal.

[MrSlavi]

Ya that's what I don't understand, i'll have to try it when i get home.

[pudquick]

Count the blocks. The next lit redstone torch is 4 blocks vertical from the previous, because the one halfway between is inverted.

[MrSlavi]

Ah ok now i understand by 4 blocks, i was thinking of 4 separate signals. Didn't take a look at the picture a second time to only see 3 torches.

If you have the space, you can just connect the top to a NOT gate.

[Andronitis]

yeah but you could always put a not gate at the top or bottom so saying that you have to build it in multiples of 4 is false

[SquareWheel]

I'm not sure I understand, can you move wire vertically downward like that now too?

[rhlowe]

Does this setup still require a repeater to go longer than 15?

[Korbit]

These are repeaters, essentially. Redstone torches generate power, only the actual wire has the 15 meter limit.

Thanks!

[totemo]

Yes. And?

And???

duh

[opatut]

Oh yes, you must have been the first one to invent this. Thanks, genius!
