![]() ![]() The red bits all around the block light up if the block is either receiving a signal or outputting a signal. The block can read/output only from one side indicated by the red cross. It is simple a peripheral that is meant to be connected to a LAN cable and can be used to read a redstone signal (with strength), output a redstone signal (also with strength, if desired) or throw an event on a change in redstone (turns on, off, or changes strength). In Minecraft the block is called the Redstone I/O. Within a couple days RedIO was born and already working the magic I wanted on the most epic build my friends and I are bringing to fruition. ![]() I set searching the forums for such a mod but came up empty handed, so I headed off on an adventure into Eclipse. At that point I decided I wanted a peripheral based solution to connect to LAN cables that could output or read a redstone signal. After setting up a few computers on the network to read and output redstone I realized that was quite inconvenient as well to have to program the extra computer to do their job and communicate with the central computer, especially after getting used to wires of a more bundled nature. ![]() Without any type of redstone wires to aid me it seemed I would have to just use more computers and have them communicate. ![]() I already had a large LAN network around the entire house connecting many (many) monitors to a central computer, so using the LAN network to get my redstone signal where I wanted it seemed most logical. One day recently I found myself in my 1.5.2 Minecraft world working with my friends on a most epic build and wanted to control some redstone based stuff from a central location around a rather large 5 story mansion.
