What is redstone? Redstone is kind of like electrical circuits within Minecraft. As with electrical circuits, it's possible to build incredibly sophisticated machines based on the combination of simple connections and switches among components.
Redstone dust acts like a conduit between a power source and a component. As the power signal travels farther from the power source, it gets weaker at a predictable rate. The redstone signal coming out of a power source starts at 15 and decreases by 1 for each block the line of redstone dust is extended.
Repeater: Place along a line of redstone dust to continue the signal. As long as a signal strength of 1 or higher is going into the repeater, it will output the maximum level of 15. Redstone repeaters only power the dust or component directly in front of them. They have a built-in delay of 1 tick and can be toggled to extend the delay to 4 ticks. If the input pulse delay is shorter than the delay toggled on the repeater, it will extend the pulse. For example, if you route a 1-tick pulse into a 4-tick repeater, the pulse gets extended to 4 ticks.
Comparator: Unlike a repeater, the comparator outputs the same signal strength that comes into the back of it. Comparators also take in a signal running into the side and compare it to the strength of the signal coming into the back.In normal mode (when the light is NOT switched on) then it will not output a signal if the strength of the signal running into the side is stronger than the signal strength running into the back. If the redstone comparator is in subtract mode (meaning the light is on), it will subtract the signal strength that comes into the side from the signal strength that comes into the back and output the result. So, if a signal strength of 10 is running through a comparator that is in subtract mode (light ON) and we put in a signal strength of 7, the it will output a signal strength of 3.
So I've been playing on a friends world on the Windows 10 edition of Minecraft, and was wondering if there were any minor or major differences in the ways the redstone behaves in this version compared to the Java version. Would a redstone build from the Java version work the same in Windows 10 without any issues?
