CMT's PowerStones – New types of Redstone

Any Minecraft player has seen Redstone at least once in a lifetime, as they had to craft standard lamps with a switch installed, sticky pistons with hidden gates and walls, automatic wheat farms or mob rockers. Familiar things, aren’t they? But the Minecraft mechanics use one component as conductors – and this is Redstone, which is sometimes not very convenient to use if the location is small, and you need to make a lot of «paths». They simply stick together and are powered by the same source or signal. You had to install blocks, block the paths somehow, didn’t you?

In this review, we’ll talk about the CMT's PowerStones add-on, which adds a few new colors of Redstone to the game. They have about the same parameters as in the vanilla game version but differ in color. However, you still need to use red dust for crafting, since it’s the main material for making new semiconductors and wires in Minecraft. The result is a unique system that allows you to overlay paths and mark them so as not to get confused by large schemes.

The CMT's PowerStones mod reveiw

We won’t tell you about any nuances of each Redstone type, since it’s a specific field that is interesting more to Minecraft electricians, and here you’d better study the CMT's PowerStones mod developer’s guidelines so that to understand all the nuances. In total, there are 3 new types of Redstone added, which are of orange, blue, and green shades. The crafting is rather simple: you need to combine the red dust version with lapis lazuli, emeralds, or light dust. The wire color depends on the material used, correspondingly. If you want, you can also connect them into blocks to get a full version of a particular conductor.

According to the CMT's PowerStones developer, new types of «wires» can overlay, overlap, for example, red and blue, yellow and green. At the same time, several types of new torches have been added to activate certain colors. That is, now each of you can quickly craft huge logical chains without worrying that Redstone will intersect and destroy the common system. All you’ll need is to craft new «conductors» in the game and install them next to each other. They won’t stick together, can be parallel, and use different torches, which is a huge advantage.

Fans of different mechanisms will surely appreciate all the features and possibilities of this mod, because there are really a lot of them here, despite a relatively limited functionality. Besides, new types of stones can also overlap, but here every electrician will decide themselves how to use these systems, how many signals they can receive, what are their benefits and drawbacks. In general, it can be said that the CMT's PowerStones mod significantly expands the game capabilities and adds a convenient electricity-laying system, which will help you be less confused by your own circuits.

This is all we could say about the mod in simple words for players, although there are technical data on all types of Redstone. Now, you can download the CMT's PowerStones add-on for Minecraft 1.19.4, and it’s available not only for Forge, but for Fabric as well. These two loaders are widely used by players, with everyone making their own assembly according to their criteria. In general, the resulting tool is technical and convenient. For its smooth operation, you’ll need to install FarriteCore if you download it for Forge, or Fabric API if it’s for the latter loader version.
