Colored Cables

Colored Cable blocks can transmit redstone power along floors, walls, and ceilings, and around corners. They can connect to Red Alloy Wires and Bundled Cables, but not to Colored Cables of different colors.

Colored Network Cable Recipe

Usage

Colored Cables can be attached to solid faces of blocks; attaching a wire to a face consumes a wire item, and breaking that wire or the block that the wire is attached to causes a wire item to be dropped.

Colored Cables transmit redstone power between each other and adjacent blocks that they are connected to; each face-attached wire stores power separately. Colored Cables emit weak power to the face they are attached to.

Unlike redstone dust, there is no power falloff when power is being transmitted through cables. Instead, there is a maximum network size of 1024 connected wire nodes (where a wire node consists of a block position, an attachment face, and a signal channel). Cable Junctions connected by Bundled Cable Spools are recommended for long-distance signal transmission.

Blockstate PropertiesValuesDescription
down{"false", "true"}Whether the cable is attached to the bottom of its blockspace
up{"false", "true"}Whether the cable is attached to the top of its blockspace
north{"false", "true"}Whether the cable is attached to the north
south{"false", "true"}Whether the cable is attached to the south

transform{"identity", "rot_180_face_xz", "rot_90_y_neg", "rot_80_y_pos", "invert_x", "invert_z", "swap_xz", "swap_neg_xz"}Set when the block is rotated/mirrored by structure generation or similar mechanics; it ensures blockentity data is transformed accordingly. When placed by a player, this will always be "identity"

"power"Integer Array (6 values)Array of the power value stored in each face (in DUNSWE order); each value has valid range [0,15]

History

VersionChangelog
1.21.3-7.0.0.0
  • Rewrote how wires connect and transmit power; all wires in a network update at once instead of causing cascading block updates
  • Renamed from (Color) Network Cable to (Color) Cable ((color)_network_cable -> (color)_cable
  • No longer loses power over distance; instead has a maximum network size (default 1024, configurable)
  • No longer receives power from the attached block face
1.20.1-4.0.0.0
  • Added transform blockstate property
  • connections are now stored as relative positions instead of absolute positions
1.16.5-2.1.0.0Added to game
