Redstone Ready Resource Pack

Why choose this pack?

This is a resource pack I designed specifically for redstone development. It's goal is to clearly depict block states from all angles while maintaining recognizability. This makes it ideal for beginners and for sharing images and videos of your builds.

A majority of the indicators provided by this pack function as overlays on the blocks they modify. This means that the pack works well when used in conjunction with other 3rd party packs.

What features does it offer?

There are actually two packs. The core pack includes all the essential indicators and mostly just modifies redstone specific components. The visuals pack includes mostly superficial changes like colored block borders and leaf range numbers.

  • Cauldron: content and fill level indicators
  • Comparator: state visibility improvement

Redstone Challenge Map

What is this?

This is a world file that contains a sequential series of redstone related puzzles. There are 13 levels of increasing difficulty designed to test your redstone knowledge and problem solving skills. Each level focuses on a different redstone component, mechanic, or methodology.

This is a difficult map and has an expected completion time of 1-5 hours, depending on your skill level. If you get stuck, don’t feel bad, just ask a friend for help or do a little research on the components you have available.

How to get it set up

  1. Download the map
  2. Extract it from the .zip folder (It may be nested so check for that)
  3. Use game version 1.18.2
  4. Set difficulty to Peaceful
  5. Set game mode to Survival
  6. If you are playing offline then you'll need to enable command blocks. Do this by pressing ESC > Open to LAN > Enable Cheats > Start LAN World.

Rules

  1. Play in survival.
  2. You may only break things that you placed.
  3. Pistons you place may only move things you placed.
  4. Don't use any mods that modify game mechanics

Tips and Tricks

  1. Everything you need is readily available. Nothing is completely hidden.
  2. Some puzzles have multiple steps.
  3. Nothing requires an excessive amount of skill. If something seems impossible then there's an easier way.
  4. If you get stuck, feel free to ask a friend for help.
  5. A redstoning resource pack would be very helpful, but not necessary.
