When it comes to making systems automated in Minecraft, redstone plays a major role in it and the new device brought out in the updates is the Redstone comparator.
What do you need a Redstone comparator?
A readstone comparator helps us to know the state of the block like whether it is full or whether it has the desired item or not, it can be integrated with a chest and perform its function.
The working of the comparator sounds fascinating right?
Let’s have a look at how to make a redstone comparator in Minecraft and what all items do we need.
Items required for redstone comaparator
| Item | Quantity | Image |
| Redstone Torches | Three |  |
| Nether Quartz | One |  |
| Smooth Stones | Three |  |
Now that you have collected all the items required to craft the redstone comparator let’s start crafting it.
How to make a Redstone comparator in Minecraft?
- Step 1: Collect all the items and open the crafting menu.
- Step 2: Place the nether quartz at the middle of the grid and the redstone torches around the nether quartz as shown above.
- Step 3: Place the three smooth stones at the bottom of the crafting grid.
- Step 4: The redstone comparator will be crafted in the right block marked in red after the crafting process is finished.
- Step 5: Move the redstone comparator to your inventory as show above and use it as you like.
Now let’s look at how to get these ingredients in Minecraft.
Crafting Redstone torches in Minecraft:
For crafting Redstone torches you will require:
- Redstone dust : Redstone is found mostly in the bottom 16 blocks of the Minecraft world. If you mine straight to the bottom you can easily mine Redstone dust.
