Redstone & wireless
Locked variants, power rules and the wireless link system — how Gloamguise talks to redstone without looking like it.
The two families
| Family | By hand | Redstone | Linked torch | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doors & trapdoors (plain) | ✓ | ✓ power > 0 | ✓ | — |
_rs variants | ✗ locked | ✓ | ✓ | — |
| Wired torch levers | ✓ toggle | — | — | 15 |
| Wireless torch levers | ✓ toggle linked door | — | — | 0 |
Why wireless outputs zero
A remote torch is not a redstone component at all. It stores a door ID and sends a scripted open/close command straight to that door — through walls, at any distance. No dust, no repeaters, no signal to trace.
Link lifecycle
01
Bind
Hold a wireless torch, Shift + tap a decoy door or trapdoor. The link is stored in the item.
02
Place
Put the torch anywhere — a wall, a ceiling, a flower-pot illusion two rooms away.
03
Copy or free
Shift + tap a placed torch while holding a fresh torch to copy its link; empty-handed to remove it.
04
Use
Tap the placed torch to toggle its door. Paired double doors swing together.
Persistence
Torch links and door IDs are stored in world dynamic properties, sharded. They survive reloads, restarts and pack updates — nothing needs to be re-bound after an update.
Tick cost
All scripted work is event-driven. The torch registry scans within 64 blocks of a player every 10 ticks — negligible even on busy servers.
Locked means locked
An
_rs door tapped empty-handed explains itself with a message. It will never open by hand — that is the point.Power 15 versus power 0
| Item | Output | What it can drive |
|---|---|---|
| Wired torch lever | 15 | Dust, pistons, lamps, redstone doors. |
| Remote torch lever | 0 | Only its linked door; no redstone network. |
_rs door / trapdoor | Input only | Opens from redstone power or a linked torch; hand-locked. |
A wireless entrance, step by step
1
Place a locked door
Use
gg:super_door_rs or gg:super_trapdoor_rs so nobody opens it by hand.2
Bind a remote
Hold a Remote Torch Lever, Shift + tap the door.
3
Hide the torch
Place it anywhere; it opens the door through walls from any distance.
4
Add more remotes
Shift + tap the placed torch while holding a fresh torch to copy the link.
What redstone does not do here
No moving decoys
Pistons cannot move decoys. Use a remote torch for moving contraptions. A remote torch outputs nothing, so it cannot power a lamp or dust line.
