Quick Documentation
Creating a RedBlock
By default, RedBlocks are Iron Blocks.
- Place an Iron Block (or whatever it is in the config)
- 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.
Destroying a RedBlock
By default, the destroy tool is a Stick.
- Simply hit the RedBlock with a stick while sneaking.
Using WorldEdit
- Select your region to add to the RedBlock.
- Hit the RedBlock [Enter Edit Mode]
- Type: (/rb add) to add blocks in the selection ; (/rb remove) to remove blocks in the selection
- Hit the RedBlock [Exit Edit Mode]
Converting from ControllerBlock
- Remove the ControllerBlock plugin
- Simply run your server with the RedBlocks plugin
- RedBlocks will notify you that the ControllerBlock plugin has been converted
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 feature can be disabled by setting the configuration value of "checkForUpdate" to false.

Download RedBlocks 2 DEV from Bamboo
Extremely bad bug, so if you don't have direct access to the red power block it doesn't work. I was making a base with pressure plates hooked up to a redstone block that opens a door, it worked fine, though when I covered it all up, wouldn't work, the solution to this was to make the floor under that a stair, though it doesn't look good, please fix!
@MultiEpicGreen
RedBlocks for 1.6.2 works just fine with 1.6.4. :)
An update built on 1.6.4 is coming, but it will be a little while (next weekend, maybe). I try to make updates to next versions include a few improvements to the plugin itself.
If anyone has suggestions, please, feel free to let me know! Either message me or post a comment!
Thanks!
Update to 1.6.4 ? (1.7)
Think he is talking about the actual mineral redstone, as a block before you mine it maybe
@fuzyfeet
Alright, thanks for reporting that! Please post it as a ticket instead next time. Thanks! Will be fixed next version.
@TheLTDude
What do you mean by a Redstone Block?
Cool Plugin, Can You Make It So If It Controls A RedstoneBlock It Makes It On?
Sorry For Bad Inglish
I just downloaded 2.1.0 and I was editing and set fire to some blocks, but now I can't undo it. When I go back into editing, I snuff it out, but that doesn't help.
@gizmogadget3
That is actually false. RedBlocks doesn't create lag passively.
@jakimfett
Correct, however this only occurs when blocks are toggled by the RedBlock.
@HAZPAza
That should be fixed in RedBlocks 2.1.0
RedBlocks 2.1.0 should fix many issues seen by users.
When ever I make a RedBlock for a gate or something, when ever I shut my server and then re-open it, the RedBlock stops functioning. Could some one help me with this or is it just a bug at the moment because it's really annoying! Thanks, bye!!!!!!!!!!!!
First ever comment!!!!!!! Lkes and thums up
@jakimfett
no, i mean even if the redblocks arent doing anything, simply having them sit there in a loaded chunk lags it up
@gizmogadget3
That's because redstone is effected by things that lag the server. With this plugin, you're doing a huge amount of block updates all at once. Which causes lag. Which, in turn, causes your redstone to hiccup a bit.
not sure if known bug or not but your plugin seriously lags redstone circuits. Even when the circuit has nothing to do with your plugin.
Eagerly awaiting this. I'm hoping this fixes the lag and rb add issues.
RedBlocks 2.1 is almost here.
Coming Soon!!
Posted a ticket describing my issue, in case anyone hasn't seen it, is anyone else having an issue with adding a World Edit selection larger than 7,000 total blocks? My server crashes when I try to do this.
@leobizaz
Thanks!
If you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know!
@usercoolbeans
Thanks for your input! Please help us make the plugin better for you. Can you please explain what is server intensive about it? That'll help a bunch! :)

LOVE IT! Good work :)
@Techzune Woopa gaming did a showcase on it :P nice plugin btw !
