Place a Redstone wire above the block.
Hit the RedBlock to begin editing.
Place the blocks you want it to control.
Hit the RedBlock again to save.

Simply hit the RedBlock with a stick while sneaking.

Using WorldEdit

Converting from ControllerBlock

What's UUIDFetcher?

The UUIDFetcher is used by RedBlocks to convert the owner's name stored in previous versions to the new UUID format used in newer versions of Minecraft and RedBlocks. This plugin uses evilmidget38's version of UUIDFetcher.

Update Checker

This plugin includes an update checker that accesses BukkitDev to compare its version with the most recently uploaded version.: This feature can be disabled by setting the configuration value of "checkForUpdate" to false.

Unfortunately, the video was not ours and has been removed from our page. We are in the process of producing our own RedBlocks video, which will include tutorials and information regarding the mechanics of the plugin.

It's your best option to disable "saveOnWorld" in the config. Seems like it's bugged and the feature has been removed for any future versions.

Thanks!

Right now I have 9 RedBlocks, most are small setups of around 8 to 12 blocks 2 have over 100 blocks.

I currently have no Redstone dust circuits as the lag was so bad when turning them off, it crashed the server.

I am, right now, also using the plugin Wireless Redstone, which works just fine. I have about 50 of those. they turn on and off instantly, no lag.

The current lag when switching off a RedBlock is only about a half second, just enough to notice.

I can use RS torches, repeaters, and comparators without issue.

The last RS circuit we just got rid of had about 60 dust, 2 pistons, 2 torches, 5 repeaters, and 12 lamps. switching it off caused a lag long enough to crash the server. I can better demonstrate the issue, if you visit my server.

In the effort to reproduce this issue, I'm going to need more information.

How many RedBlocks exist on the server? If there are some, do they have a lot of blocks attached to them? Also, how long is the redstone circuit? What does the circuit consist of (repeaters, comparators, etc)?

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Not sure if this should go here, or on my ticket, however, I have noticed that the more RedBlocks I place the longer the turn off delay is for my Redstone circuits, and it is also effecting the shutoff of the RedBlock circuits. They turn on instantly, but take a few seconds to turn off.

I sent you my server address if you want to come test it out there. It is, of course, possible that one of the other plugins I have is interfering.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this in my testing. (With Version 2.2.0) Are you using the latest version? What version of CraftBukkit are you using?

Please create a ticket so we can solve this problem and fix any bugs that I overlooked. Thanks!

Since installing Red Block my old redstone circuits do not work correctly. I have my house wired with redstone lights, when I flip the lever off, it take several second for the lever to move, and several more for the lights to go off. I can turn them back on just fine. I can live with this for now, but would like to know if this can be fixed.

That's an odd bug, I haven't seen that before. Can you create a ticket and provide screenshots, please?
