Additions

Blocks

Comparators

• Based on the idea of the capacitor mentioned at Minecon 2012.
• The crafting recipe is 3 redstone torches, 1 nether quartz and 3 stone.
• It is the same as a repeater, but with 2 inputs.
  • If input A is stronger or equal to input B, it either repeats the signal or outputs the difference between A and B, so this can be used as an easier way make redstone contraptions like piston doors.
    • Output is toggleable by right-clicking.
  • If input A is weaker than input B, then there is no output.
• All containers output a redstone signal when a redstone comparator is placed against it directly. The strength of it depends on how full the container is and what disc number is used in a jukebox.
  • This works with trapped chests as well, meaning it can provide two redstone signals with different causes at the same time.

Dispensers

• Crafted from cobblestone, a bow and redstone.
• Version exclusive: Custom name does not appear in GUI.

Droppers

• The crafting recipe is 7 cobblestone and 1 redstone.
• Places items in containers in front of them, if there is no container it will dispense the item without using it.
• A dispenser "shoots" items at the player, while a dropper "throws" items at the player.
• Can face all 6 directions, with a different texture when facing up or down.
• Needs redstone signal to drop items.
• Fires once when the input becomes powered.
• Redstone signal emitted when a redstone comparator is placed against it directly - signal length depends on its fullness.
• Version exclusive: Custom name does not appear in GUI.

Hoppers

• The crafting recipe is 5 iron ingots and 1 chest.
• Places and takes out items in hoppers, chests, furnaces, minecart with chests, minecart with hoppers, dispensers, droppers, and brewing stands.
• Allows for the automation of many processes collecting drops.
• Powering the hopper stops it from taking in items and releasing them.
• Redstone signal emitted when a redstone comparator is placed against it directly - signal length depends on its fullness.
  • 1 item will give a signal strength of 1, a third of a stack (21 for items which stack to 64) gives a signal strength of 2.
  • The number of full stacks × 3 = Signal strength.

Repeaters

• Crafted from stone and redstone.

Minecart with chest

• Version exclusive: Emits smoke when destroyed.
• Version exclusive: Custom name does not appear in GUI.

Minecart with TNT

• Version exclusive: Emits smoke when destroyed.

Red sandstone

• Red variant of sandstone

Slime blocks

• Crafting recipe: 9 slime balls.
  • Can be crafted back into 9 slime balls.
• Players and mobs that land on their top side bounce, like on a trampoline.
  • This negates all fall damage.
    • Holding ⇧ Shift negates the rebound, and does not negate the fall damage.
  • Bounce rebound velocity is scaled by impact velocity.
    • Height can reach up to 60% of initial height, which implies a great restitution coefficient.
  • Does not affect falling item entities.
• Walking on it is slower than walking on soul sand and close to one's speed while sneaking.
• The placing/breaking sounds use the hurt sounds of slimes.
• Can be mined with only one click, without any tools in survival.
• Slime blocks push and pull each other, along with adjacent blocks, when at least one of them is moved by a sticky piston.
  • Normal pistons have the same effect, except that they fail to pull even a single slime block.
  • Coded by KaboPC and Panda4994. Follow all the existing rules that pistons followed:
    • A chain of slime blocks and its adjacent blocks connected to a piston, in any arrangement, can be moved as long as the following conditions are met:
      • The piston is not moving more than twelve blocks at a time.
      • Non-movable blocks are not obstructing the path.
      • Not a single slime block in the chain is attached to the piston itself.
  • Allows for moveable contraptions.
• Extending a piston with a slime block attached propels adjacent entities (mobs, players, items, launched arrows, etc.) in the appropriate direction.
