Redstone Comparator

The Comparator is a block planned to be added in the Redstone Update for use with redstone circuitry. It will have two inputs: one from the back ('signal A') and one from the side ('signal B'). If signal B is stronger than signal A, there will be no output. Otherwise, it can be set to either repeat signal A at its current strength, or output the difference between both inputs. It is crafted using Nether Quartz, a new ore found in the Nether as of 13w01a.



Trivia

 * The Comparator looks similar to a Redstone Repeater, just with another redstone torch.
 * It takes 0 ticks from the Comparator to change state, this way you can build very fast redstone circuits
