The Redstone Comparator is a block for use with redstone circuitry. It resembles a repeater with an additional redstone torch. It has two inputs: one from the back, signal A; and one from the side, signal B. The output, the single torch in front, has different behavior depending on the mode of operation: subtraction, which occurs when the torch is lit, and comparison, which occurs when the torch is dark. Right clicking the comparator will change modes.

In subtraction mode, when signal A exceeds signal B, it outputs proportionally to (A-B). Example: the back has a strength of 15, the side a strength of 1, and the output is 14.

In comparison mode, when signal A exceeds or equals signal B, it outputs signal A. Example: the back has a strength of 15, the side a strength of 1, and the output is 15.

If the rear of the comparator (the side with two redstone torches) touches a storage block, then the output is a signal that is proportional to the fullness the storage block is full (see below).

Unlike the repeater, the comparator hasn't two separated blocks for the active and inactive states. Data values from 0 to 7 correspond to the inactive state, those from 8 to 15 correspond to the active state (the block ID 150, even if it has the comparator's texture, is not used by the game and does not transmit redstone signals).

Uses

As a low-delay wire/diode

Like a repeater, the comparator acts as a diode. Its delay is one tick. However, unlike a repeater, it will not create an output for a 1-tick pulse.

As a comparator

The side inputs can set a threshold for the input signal. Signal A inputs to the back of the comparator and will only output while exceeding or equaling signal B. Signal B is considered the greater of the two side inputs; the weaker side input is ignored. In this mode, the comparator resembles a real-life op-amp without a feedback circuit, with signal A to its non-inverting input and signal B to its inverting input.

As a diminisher

If a comparator is right-clicked, then its third redstone torch activates. In this state, the output will be signal A minus signal B: the input signal will decrease by the comparison signal. If signal B exceeds or equals signal A, then no output will occur.

As a damper signal

If 2 or more comparators are placed in a loop with at least two redstone connecting them, then the signal will weaken by 1 with each cycle until entirely dying.

As a sustainer

Use the output of a damper, or feed it to a repeater to boost signal, and you get a long period sustainer. Add more comparators to loop to make a longer period sustainer.

As a clock

Whenever Signal A is connected with full strength and the output is forwarded to signal B and the comparator toggle is set to on, the device will act as a 1-clock.

As a pseudo-random selector

Wire two or more redstone repeaters in a ring to make a clock, then wire each redstone wire to a comparator side input. Wire a switch to each comparator's back input so the wire from the switch is longer. The clock toggles round the repeaters and the switch activates one of the comparator outputs when activated. If the mechanism cannot be seen, it is effectively random.

As an inventory contents checker

If a comparator is placed next to a container, it will provide an output based on the percentage of used space in the container. This includes: regular/large/trapped Chest, Furnace, Dispenser, Hopper, Brewing Stand, Dropper, Jukebox, End Portal Frame, Cauldron, Item Frame^(Upcoming), or a Detector Rail with a Minecart with Chest / Hopper on it. The comparator may be separated from the input by one solid block if the 3 blocks form a line, however redstone current from below the separator may interfere. See below for more info.

Inventory checking output

When a container is empty, the output is off.

When it is not empty, the output signal strength is calculated as follows:

signal strength = truncate(1 + ((sum of all slots' fullnesses) / number of slots in container) * 14)

fullness of a slot = (number of items in slot) / (max stack size for this type of item)

Example: 300 blocks in a dispenser (which has 9 slots), where each block stacks to a maximum of 64, produces output with a signal strength of 8:

1 + ((300 items / 64 items per slot) / 9 slots) * 14 = 8.292, truncated is 8

Note that a non-stackable item is counted as a full slot (1 item in a slot, with a max stack size of 1: 1 / 1 = 1.0), and items which stack up to 16 (such as ender pearls and snowballs and eggs) are similarly considered a full slot at 16.

Specific output signal strength creation

It can be useful in redstone circuits to use containers with comparators to create signals of a specific strength. The number of items required in a container to produce a signal of desired strength is calculated as follows:

items required = max(desired signal strength, roundup((total slots in container * 64 / 14) * (desired signal strength - 1) ) )

Example: To use a furnace (which has 3 slots) to create a strength 9 signal, you need 110 items:

max(9, (3*64/14)*(9-1)) = 109.714, rounded up is 110

Power listings of a furnace

This table shows the number of full slots(e.g. non-stackables like shovels,...) and blocks/items(stackable to 64) needed to get a specific output strength when using a furnace. Minimum and maximum needed items are shown. The optimal column tries to round to the nearest number of full slots between the minimum and maximum, if that isn't possible it optimizes by splitting 64-stacks in half and so on. Basically it's easier to count and needs less clicks to get a number of blocks/items in the furnace.

This table shows the number of full slots(e.g. non-stackables like shovels,...) and blocks/items(stackable to 64) needed to get a specific output strength when using a single chest. Minimum and maximum needed items are shown. The optimal column tries to round to the nearest number of full slots between the minimum and maximum.

By using the /give command, it is possible to get a stack that has more than the normal maximum for an item. For example, beds normally do not stack, however you can use /give <Player> bed 27 to get a stack of 27 beds. If you put the resulting stack of 27 beds in a chest, it will then output a signal strength of 15. Using this technique, and increasing the number to greater than 27, you can create chests (and other containers) which are more than 100% full. While you cannot store a signal with strength larger than 15 in redstone wire, redstone comparators can internally have a strength of more than 15. This internal strength can then be subtracted to reach signal strengths that wire can carry. For example, if you put 29 beds in a chest, set a comparator examining the chest to subtraction mode, and subtract a signal of maximum strength (15), the comparator will output a signal strength of 1.

Jukebox record identification

Unlike most containers, the signal output by a jukebox represents the record it contains. It outputs:

Signal	Record
0	none
1	13
2	cat
3	blocks
4	chirp
5	far
6	mall
7	mellohi
8	stal
9	strad
10	ward
11	11
12	wait
13	unused
14	unused
15	unused

Other unique block outputs

End Portal Frame blocks output a full signal of 15 if they contain an Eye of Ender and zero otherwise.

Cauldrons output different signal strengths depending on how much water is inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Item Frames ^(Upcoming) output different signal strengths depending on how many times it has been turned. 0 for an empty item frame, one for an item, plus one signal strength per turn, resets to one after eight turns.

Command block output

Command Blocks output a property called "Success Count", which represents the number of times the most recently used command of this Command Block succeeded. A "success" is defined by the command's success conditions: if a red error message is returned, the command was not successful.

Most commands can only succeed once per execution, but certain commands (such as those which accept players as arguments) can succeed multiple times, and the comparator will output the number of times it succeeded (of course, this is capped at a full signal of 15, so it will output 15 if there were 15 or more successes). Examples of such commands are /tell and /testfor. Note that /say will never output more than 1, as the command only outputs one message in chat regardless of the number of players who are referenced (their names are merely formatted as a list of the form "name1, name2, and name3").

Note that the comparator will output the Command Block's success count for the last command executed: it will be a constant signal (or lack thereof) and will only update when the command is next executed. Unfortunately many commands fail to pass on a failure, meaning once the redstone comparator is lit it will be permanently lit. The blockdata command can be used to reset such a "problem circuit".

					All containers output a redstone signal when a Comparator is placed against it directly. The strength of it depends on how full the container is. This works with Trapped Chests as well, meaning it can provide two redstone signals with different causes at the same time.

Both types slowly rotate and bob up and down; this is merely a visual effect, the item itself does not actually rotate or bob up and down. Item entities that represent a stack of more than one item appear as several items stuck together. Stacks of 1 appear as one item, 2-16 as two items, 17–32 as three, 33-48 as four, and 49+ as five. The rotation rate of the item is approximately 2.87675 degrees per tick, or 57.595 degrees per second. == Behavior == Item entities come from many sources. Some common ones are: * The death of a [[mob]] or [[player]]. * A [[block]] that is mined by a player, destroyed by an [[explosion]], or washed away by [[water]]. * An inventory item tossed by pressing the drop item key (default {{key|Q}} on PC, {{xbtn|dpad-down}} on Xbox, {{nsbtn|down}}/{{nsbtn|dpad-down}} on Nintendo Switch, {{psbtn|dpad-down}} on PlayStation) or dragging a stack outside of an inventory window. ** In the mobile versions of {{el|be}}, items in the hotbar can be dropped by pressing on the item's slot. The entire stack is dropped. * A container (other than an {{BlockLink|ender chest}} or a {{BlockLink|shulker box}}) that is destroyed while holding items inside. The player may be thought of as having an "item pickup" box that surrounds their hitbox. This pickup box extends 1 additional block to the horizontal sides, and 0.5 additional blocks up and down. Any item whose hitbox intersects with the pickup box can be picked up. The pickup box is inclusive on the horizontal sides (distance less than or equal to 1 will count), and exclusive on the vertical sides (distance less than 0.5 will count, but not equal). When the player's hitbox size changes, such as when crouching{{only|java}} or sleeping, the pickup box size changes with it. Once an item entity's hitbox overlaps with the player's pickup box, it can transfer its items. As many items as can fit in the player inventory, excluding the armor slots and the [[dual wield|off-hand slot]], are transferred. If any item is transferred, [[Item (entity)#Sounds|a "plopping" sound]] is played. If all items are transferred, the items appear to move into the center of the player. The item entity never physically moves, however, which means it can appear to go through lava and blocks in its path. This can happen through blocks that are thinner than a full block, but also through the shared edge of two full blocks. Unlike [[experience orb]]s, multiple item entities can be picked up simultaneously. Dropped items have a delay of 10 [[tick]]s (half a second) between appearing and being able to be picked up, or 40 ticks (2 seconds) if thrown by a player, [[dolphin]], or [[fox]]. When two stackable items of the same type come within 3/4 of a block of each other, they merge into a single stack if the resulting stack size does not exceed that item's maximum stack size. Items do not collide with other entities(except boats) and are only moved or stopped by blocks. Like other entities, items can be pushed by flowing water and [[bubble column]]s, pushed by a [[piston]], launched by a moving [[slime block]], stuck to a [[honey block]], or caught in a [[cobweb]]. Items move at faster speeds if [[ice]] is placed under the flowing water. When in still water, items float slowly up to the surface. Items can be reared by [[fishing rod]]s, costing 3 [[durability]].{{only|je}} If an item is within a [[solid block]], then it flies out one of the unobstructed sides, or out of the top of the block if surrounded by solid blocks on all sides. It does this even if the space below is unoccupied; therefore, it is possible to recover an item dropped by breaking a hole in a floor by quickly placing another block there. Items visually disappear when the player is about 16 blocks away from them, and reappear when they get closer. This distance can be adjusted by the "Entity Distance" slider in [[Options#Video Settings|video settings]]. Unlike most entities, items cannot be spectated in [[Spectator]] mode without use of the {{cmd|spectate}} command. === Damage === Items cannot be attacked by players or mobs; attempting to do so simply hits through them. However, they take damage and disappear from environmental or block-based damage such as [[explosion]]s, [[fire]], [[lava]], and contact with [[cactus|cacti]]. Items have essentially no health, so they are destroyed by the slightest damage, though if set on fire they may remain for a few seconds before disappearing. [[Nether star]]s are immune to explosions, and [[netherite]]-based items and tools are immune to fire and float on top of lava. Also, some blocks that normally damage mobs, such as [[magma block]]s, [[campfire]]s, [[Sweet Berries|sweet berry bushes]], [[flower|wither rose]]s and [[powder snow]], do not damage items. === Despawning === Items despawn after 6000 game [[tick]]s (5 minutes) of being in a loaded, entity-ticking [[chunk]]; this is affected by the player's [[simulation distance]]. If two item stacks merge, the timer is set to the item that has more time remaining. The 5-minute timer is paused when the chunk is unloaded or no longer processing entities. Nether stars do not despawn{{only|bedrock}}. Items that fall into the [[void]] immediately despawn when they fall below Y=-128 in the [[Overworld]], or Y=-64 in [[the Nether]] and [[the End]]. == Sounds == {{Edition|Java}}:<br> Item Entities use the Ambient/Environment sound category for entity-dependent sound events. {{Sound table |nocat=1 |sound=Pop.ogg |subtitle=Item plops |source=player<!--Even when not picked up by player--> |description=When an item is picked up |id=entity.item.pickup |translationkey=subtitles.entity.item.pickup |volume=0.2 |pitch=1.6-3.4 <ref group=sound>0.6-3.4 for using {{cmd|give}} and items from advancement rewards</ref> |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=fizz.ogg |nocat=1 |subtitle=Burning |source=ambient |description=When an item is destroyed by [[lava]], but not [[fire]]<ref>{{bug|MC-36538}}</ref> |id=entity.generic.burn |translationkey=subtitles.entity.generic.burn |volume=0.4 |pitch=2.0-2.4 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{Edition|Bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |rowspan=2 |sound=Pop.ogg |source=player |description=When an item is picked up |id=random.pop |volume=0.25 |pitch=0.6-2.2}} {{Sound table |source=player |description=When an item is dropped |id=random.pop |volume=0.3 |pitch=0.55-0.75}} {{Sound table |sound=fizz.ogg |source=block |description=When an item is destroyed by lava, but not fire |id=random.fizz |volume=0.5 |pitch=1.8-2.4 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{editions|java}}: {{ID table |generatetranslationkeys=java |displayname=Item |spritename=items |spritetype=env |translationtype=entity |nameid=item |foot=1}} {{editions|bedrock}}: {{ID table |shownumericids=y |generatetranslationkeys=bedrock |displayname=Item |spritename=items |spritetype=env |translationtype=entity |nameid=item |id=64 |foot=1}} === Entity data === {{see also|Chunk format}} Dropped items have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the entity. {{el|java}}: {{main|Entity format}} {{/ED}} {{el|bedrock}}: : See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Entity format]]. == History == {{History|java classic}} {{History||0.24 Resource Test|In the first public mention of item entities, {{ytl|OP3jzMWJmu8|this early video of Minecraft (Classic 0.24) by Notch}}, they were referred to as "resources".<ref name="resources">{{ytl|YIm_AKUbqh8}} Early video of Minecraft (Classic 0.24) by Notch referring to item entities as "resources"</ref>}} {{History||August 4, 2009|link=https://notch.tumblr.com/post/155882307/a-video-showing-what-i-did-today-are-vids-like|Items were showcased by [[Notch]] in a blog post.}} {{History||0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST|Added items to the game. |Items currently take the form of destroyed [[block]]s. |Items currently pulse white (similar to the selection cursor).<ref name="resources"/> |Instead of appearing as shrunken down blocks, items use pixels the same size as block pixels.}} {{History|java indev}} {{History||0.31|snap=20091231-2|Dropped items don't spin and don't glow white anymore. |Dropped items now appear as shrunken down blocks. |Items no longer prevent the placement of blocks but instead are moved to the nearest chunk. {{info needed}} |Non-block items added (as sprites); they now rotate to face the [[player]].}} {{History||?|Dropped items now spin again.}} {{History|java beta}} {{History||1.8|snap=Pre-release|[[File:Oversized items.png|100px|right]][[File:In awe at the size of these fluids.png|100px|right]] A bug causing many item forms of blocks to be displayed at the {{frac|1|2}} scale rather than {{frac|1|4}} was fixed.

Issues

Issues relating to "Redstone Comparator" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

• The comparator does not re-strengthen a redstone signal. This means it can not be used for super-long instant circuits.
• If placed every second block between redstone, they can endlessly carry a signal, at same speed than repeaters on first setting, without it losing power strength. Placing a non-transparent block at every corner allows it to bend without losing power. It is also possible to reduce the needed amount of comparators further (and thus improve the signal speed) by facing the comparators into solid blocks behind which redstone is placed
• A redstone comparator outputs a strong signal. This does not mean it resets the signal strength like repeaters, but it means the signal can be picked up through a block without using a repeater (Like a repeater)
• If you join up the redstone torches, an arrow is created which points to the redstone output. This arrow can also be seen as a red triangle on the Comparator, if one looks hard enough.
• If placed on a Barrier, you can see the bottoms of the torches
• An empty Minecart, an empty Minecart with Chest and a Minecart with a mob in it will all give no redstone output when passing over a Detector Rail with a comparator next to it
