Goldstone

In Minecraft, to make automated changes to your world, the Redstone system exists as a mechanical system.. However, due to the limitations of ClassiCube and the NAS plugin, Redstone is not feasible. I've decided to compromise, and the replacement of Redstone is called "goldstone."

Goldstone has only a few components so far.

*Goldstone In Action!*

### Unrefined Gold

Unrefined gold is the main block behind all of Goldstone. Every recipe requires at least 1 goldstone or goldstone-derived block to craft. To obtain Unrefined gold, you smelt 1 gold ore and 1 coal block together.

Recipe (produces 3)

### Gold Wire

Gold wire is the Redstone dust of the Goldstone system. It connects together power sources and power receivers. Wire will turn on if pointing into a power source or another wire with signal strength greater than one. Each wire has a signal strength, which is invisible except for the distinction between on and off. Gold wires can only power blocks that they are pointed into, or wires that are pointing into them. The maximum signal strength for a wire is 15. Gold wire is crafted with 3 unrefined gold in a row.

Recipe (produces 32)

#### Locked Wire

Locked wire is very similar to gold wire. However, gold wire and repeater inputs can only come from it's small faces. You cannot bend locked wire around a corner, but it also means you can't accidentally take input from a locked wire.

Recipe (Produces 5)

### Power Sources

Power sources are blocks that provide power to goldstone.

#### Power Source

The power source block is a block that will always be on and will always power adjacent blocks such as pistons or any wires pointing into them.

Recipe (produces 1)

#### Lever

The lever block is a toggle able power source for goldstone. When clicked it will turn on, and power blocks the same way a power source will. When clicked again, it will turn off. Power source blocks cannot be pushed by pistons.

Recipe (produces 1)

#### Button

Buttons, when clicked, will turn on, then turn off exactly 1 second later (providing no lag). They emit a signal strength of 15, and the recipe is 8 gold wires surrounding 1 stone block.

Recipe (produces 1)

#### Pressure Plates

Pressure plates work similarly to levers, but they will only turn on if someone is standing on it. It will provide goldstone power in all 6 directions, and is free standing (does not need support, can be placed on an air block.) It outputs a signal strength of 15.

Recipe (produces 1)

### Repeaters

Repeaters can be placed in all 6 directions and can "restore" goldstone signals being fed into them. They also have a delay of 0.4 seconds so any input going in will take that long to update. The recipe is 6 stone with 3 wires in the middle.

Recipe (produces 1)

### Observer

The Observer works exactly the same as Minecraft. When there's a block update on its face, it will release a short signal out of the other end. The recipe is below.

Recipe (Produces 1)

### Sap

Sap is not technically a Goldstone block, but it is needed to craft Sticky Pistons. Currently, sap does not behave like slime blocks in Minecraft, despite the fact it uses the honey texture. It is crafted with 1 sapling of any type in the crafting table.

Recipe (produces 1)

### Pistons and Sticky Pistons

#### Pistons

Pistons are blocks, that when powered, will push the blocks in front of their face. Pistons can push up to 6 blocks, but cannot push blocks such as containers, obsidian, or power sources. Recipe is below.

Recipe (produces 1)

#### Sticky pistons

Sticky pistons are similar to pistons, however when the piston is depowered, the block on the piston's face will be pulled back. Again, containers, obsidian, and wires cannot be pulled back by sticky pistons. Sticky pistons also have a maximum push limit of 6. The recipe is 1 piston and 1 sap block.

Recipe (produces 1)

### Lamps

Lamps are decoration blocks that will light up when powered by a goldstone source. (produces 4)

Recipe (produces 1)

### Auto Crafter

Auto crafters are a way to automatically craft any crafting recipe (NOT SMELTING!). When powered, they will attempt to craft the recipe just like a normal crafting table. If it's successful, the items will be saved in the crafting table, where the table can be clicked to remove all of its contents, like a gravestone. You cannot lock auto crafters. Recipe is below.

Recipe (produces 1)

### Dispenser

Dispensers store items just like barrels, but when they're powered they will place a block on their face. They cannot replace existing blocks except other blocks that can be replaced by things like water or lava, and they also can replace liquids.

Special functions - Water barrels, when placed inside will place water and keep the barrel inside. If there's a water block on its face and a barrel inside, it will pick up the water and put in the barrel, which will be kept inside the dispenser. Basically how buckets work in MC with dispensers. The same thing will happen with lava and lava tanks.

Recipe (produces 1)

### Spikes

Spikes are a trap block that does 3 damage to the player each tick the player is standing on them. However, if the spikes are not activated by some sort of goldstone input they will remain off, and will not deal any damage. Recipe is below
