Redstone to RedCu Converter

Overview

The Redstone to RedCu Converter is a block used to extend the range of an initial Redstone signal by converting it into RedCu Wire signal. It acts like a RedCu Wire and supports signal transfer over long distances while reducing signal loss. By connecting Redstone signals to RedCu Wires, the block significantly extends their range.

Functionality

The amount of Redstone Signal (Pr) directly converted to a RedCu Wire signal (Prc) can be calculated using the equation:

The Redstone to RedCu Converter can also transfer signals between RedCu Wires by following the equation:

Here, L is the wire length in blocks.

The block supports up to 15 configurations, which can be cycled through by right-clicking. To rotate the block, players must destroy and place it again from a different angle.

While it visually resembles Redstone Dust in some configurations, the block operates differently. It only takes the highest Redstone signal it is connected to and converts it to a RedCu Wire signal. Outputs are exclusively at the RedCu Wire ends, and the conversion back to Redstone signal follows the same rules as a RedCu Wire.

Special Notes

• The block’s color does not change based on the signal applied.
• Even if the Redstone Dust end appears powered, it may not be.
• Signals cannot be applied backward. Input-to-output flow is strict.

Usage Pattern for Long Distances

For long-distance RedCu Wire setups where signal strength must remain consistent beyond 15 blocks, use the following pattern:

1. Place a Redstone to RedCu Converter.
2. Connect up to 15 RedCu Wires.
3. Add Redstone Dust to maintain circuit updates.
4. Repeat the pattern.

Redstone to RedCu Converters amplify the signal, while Redstone Dust ensures the circuit updates properly when the signal changes.
