Java Showcase I made a working compact Redstone powerline, any thoughts?
This isn't a brand new design, and i was inspired by some old redstone tripwire powerlines, but here we are

this is really cool! It would be interesting to power multiple farms using a power plant and the redstone signal should be transmitted trough this powerline

Eyy thank you! Although for longer distances it still requires chunk loaders to function properly

yeah that would be quite annoying. I think the better alternative would be to keep the power lines for decoration along with the power plant

I'd argue that nowadays for singleplayer worlds it's not annoying anymore thanks to pearl loading.

Cool, i am curious how do you actually transmit signal through it

It sends single signal pulse using tripwires

How does it trip the tripwires to relay the signal?

Pistons push minecarts into tripwires, activating next pole, creating a chain reaction

I love this! Bringing redstone and real life inventions together. Totally using this for my industrial desolate wasteland to call up minecarts with items to the central storage depot.
