Redstone Wire

Redstone Wire is a block in Minecraft used to transmit redstone power. It's created by placing redstone dust, similar to wires in real-world electricity. Redstone Wire connects various redstone components to form complex circuits, enabling automated mechanisms like opening doors, activating traps, and running machines. When powered, Redstone Wire glows brightly with a sparkling particle effect. It can be directly powered by sources like redstone torches, levers, and buttons, or by other powered blocks. The transmission distance of Redstone Wire is limited to 15 blocks, requiring redstone repeaters to boost the signal. Redstone wire cannot be placed directly on certain blocks like glass or ice, and it breaks and becomes redstone dust if water flows over it. Redstone Wire is fundamental to Minecraft's redstone circuitry, and understanding its properties is crucial for building redstone contraptions.
