Bukkit

Description

• Quantum wire is a subtle replacement for lapis blocks. It will replace all new lapis blocks when the mod is downloaded.
• it is much like redstone, except that it is a block, so it can go vertically.
• It is also different from redstone in the fact that it has no maximum distance, and it can store up to 16 states.
• To access these states, wool blocks are used as a threshold of sorts between the quantum wire and the redstone.
• Each color of wool has it's own state. A powered white wool connected to a quantum wire circuit will power all other white wool, for example.

Installation Instructions

• Simply download the .jar into the /plugins directory.

Usage Instructions

• Once the mod has been downloaded, any wool or lapis blocks placed will be treated as quantum wire. Existing blocks will not be quantum wire.
• Wool is used to interface with regular redstone. Any direct power source powering wool, with the exception of wire will power that color channel in the quantum wire circuit.
• A simple example of quantum wire would be _[wool][quantum wire][wool]_ with _ being redstone.
• For pictures, see this album.

Warnings

• The mod must be re-downloaded for every major minecraft update. If you do not update it, or keep it turned off and chunks are loaded, (such as spawn chunks which are pre-loaded) quantum wire in those chunks will be wiped!
• When quantum wire is installed, you won't be able to place levers, buttons, or torches on wool blocks anymore. This is just due to the way minecraft handles some very basic code. There isn't any way to change this.
