About
The Redstone Comparator is a redstone device that compares two input signals and outputs the result. Place it with two redstone dust inputs on its sides and one on its back; it outputs a signal on its front based on whether the side inputs are equal, or subtracts the back input from the side inputs in subtraction mode. Toggle the mode with a right-click.
Admins use comparators to build detection systems, timing circuits, and automated farms. They're stackable up to 64 and found naturally in jungle temples and ancient cities, or crafted from nether quartz, redstone dust, and stone blocks.
Break it instantly with any tool or by hand. Spawn it directly into inventory with the /give command if you need to test or rebuild a circuit quickly.
