Scorch torch not working5/4/2023 This would make it easy to power a redstone lamp - without powering the lamp itself to power level 3 as a lever would do. Given that a redstone torch is not affected if it is attached to a level 1 powered block, one could argue, that the torch itself should power the block it is attached to with level 1 power. ![]() Proof for this is found in the first picture of your question. The last block - the one the torch is attached to - is unpowered. You can see that this is true in the following two pictures. The other blocks surrounding the torch, except the one it is attached to, get powered, but they do not emit power themselves. Now, coming back to the torch, the following picture shows the different power states the blocks surrounding the torch are in:Īs you can see, the block above the torch gets powered, emitting first degree power itself (see picture). The last one, no power (blue), is also self-explanatory. I guess it's pretty self-explanatory, still, see the following picture for more information. Next up is yellow: Powered, but not emitting power. See the following image for demonstration. Second degree power does not power redstone dust, but it powers repeaters, lamps, pistons and redstone torches (and probably others). The orange wool gets powered by a redstone wire facing into the block, causing it to emit second degree power itself. Starting from the right, we have the red wool, which gets powered by a repeater, thus emitting first degree power.įirst degree power means, that adjacent redstone gets powered by the block, so it lights up the redstone dust. This shows, how you can achieve the different power levels, and how they interact with adjacent redstone. (As already mentioned, the four power states are visualized with four different colors.) To clarify the different states, we'll go over a few screenshots. Level 3 power: Powered, emitting first degree power (red).Level 2 power: Powered, emitting second degree power (orange).Level 1 power: Powered, emitting no power (yellow).Level 0 power: Unpowered (shown as blue wool/carpet/glass).You mentioned the fact, that blocks can be in four different power states: You would have to get rid of this mechanic to still be able to use the redstone torches if you made that change. ![]() Attaching the torch to a block would power the block, would turn off the torch, would unpower the block, would turn on the torch, would power the block. Regarding a source, I haven't actually found one.Īs this behavior was in the game since Alpha 1.0.1 and has not changed since, I believe this gets seen as common knowledge and just isn't documented.Īs for why, I already mentioned that if the block the torch is attached to would get powered as well, one of the main mechanics in redstone - powering the block the torch is attached to to turn it off - would no longer work. Yes, you could say that this is an exception. is the fact that the block that redstone torch is attached to being not powered an exception? If it is an exception, in which source is it stated and why there is such an exception? What you have to realize is, is that the torch powers all adjacent blocks to it's position, except the one it is attached to, and the one it occupies (given the reason above). ![]() Only opaque blocks can be powered by Redstone power.Ī transparent block can't be powered by anything. Opacity - List of things affected by opacity: Source for this statement can be found in several places in the Minecraft wiki, I'll quote two instances: It is not possible that this block is powered, as the torch is a transparent block, and transparent blocks can not be powered. The block the redstone torch resides in is in fact not powered. P.S.: We know that the block shown by red borders is powered because of the second visual. (I'm adding the information I posted in the comments to RavenM's answer as a separate answer, just because the 500 character limit and the visuals get a bit crammed.)
