The Redstone Comparator is a block for use with redstone circuitry. It resembles a repeater with an additional redstone torch. It has two inputs: one from the back, signal A; and one from the side, signal B. The output, the torch in front, has different behavior depending on the mode of operation: subtraction, which occurs when the torch is lit, and comparison, which occurs when the torch is dark. Right clicking the comparator will change modes.

In subtraction mode, when signal A exceeds signal B, it outputs proportionally to (A-B). Example: the back has a strength of 15, the side a strength of 1, and the output is 14.

In comparison mode, when signal A exceeds or equals signal B, it outputs signal A. Example: the back has a strength of 15, the side a strength of 1, and the output is 15. Compare Bipolar Junction Transistor (electronics).

If the rear of the comparator (the side with two redstone torches) touches a storage block, then the output is a signal that is proportional to the fullness the storage block is full (see below).

Uses

As a low-delay wire/diode

Like a repeater, the comparator acts as a diode. Its delay is one tick. However, unlike a repeater, it will not create an output for a 1-tick pulse.

As a comparator

The side inputs can set a threshold for the input signal. Signal A inputs to the back of the comparator and will only output while exceeding or equaling signal B. Signal B is considered the greater of the two side inputs; the weaker side input is ignored. In this mode, the comparator resembles a real-life op-amp without a feedback circuit, with signal A to its non-inverting input and signal B to its inverting input.

As a diminisher

If a comparator is right-clicked, then its third redstone torch activates. In this state, the output will be signal A minus signal B: the input signal will decrease by the comparison signal. If signal B exceeds or equals signal A, then no output will occur.

As a damper signal

If 2 or more comparators are placed in a loop with at least two redstone connecting them, then the signal will weaken by 1 with each cycle until entirely dying.

As a sustainer

Use the output of a damper, or feed it to a repeater to boost signal, and you get a long period sustainer. Add more comparators to loop to make a longer period sustainer.

As a clock

Whenever Signal A is connected with full strength and the output is forwarded to signal B and the comparator toggle is set to on, the device will act as a 1-clock.

As an inventory contents checker

If a comparator is placed next to a container, it will provide an output based on the percentage of used space in the container. This includes: regular/large/trapped Chest, Furnace, Dispenser, Hopper, Brewing Stand, Dropper, Jukebox, End Portal Frame, Cauldron, Item Frame(Upcoming), or a Detector Rail with a Minecart with Chest / Hopper on it. The comparator may be separated from the input by one solid block if the 3 blocks form a line, however redstone current from below the separator may interfere. See below for more info.

Inventory checking output

When a container is empty, the output is off.

When it is not empty, the output signal strength is calculated as follows:

signal strength = truncate(1 + ((sum of all slots' fullnesses) / number of slots in container) * 14)

fullness of a slot = (number of items in slot) / (max stack size for this type of item)

Example: 300 blocks in a dispenser (which has 9 slots), where each block stacks to a maximum of 64, produces output with a signal strength of 8:

1 + ((300 items / 64 items per slot) / 9 slots) * 14 = 8.292, truncated is 8

Note that a non-stackable item is counted as a full slot (1 item in a slot, with a max stack size of 1: 1 / 1 = 1.0), and items which stack up to 16 (such as ender pearls and snowballs and eggs) are similarly considered a full slot at 16.

Specific output signal strength creation

It can be useful in redstone circuits to use containers with comparators to create signals of a specific strength. The number of items required in a container to produce a signal of desired strength is calculated as follows:

items required = max(desired signal strength, roundup((total slots in container * 64 / 14) * (desired signal strength - 1) ) )

Example: To use a furnace (which has 3 slots) to create a strength 9 signal, you need 110 items:

max(9, (3*64/14)*(9-1)) = 109.714, rounded up is 110

Power listings of a furnace

This table shows the number of full slots(e.g. non-stackables like shovels,...) and blocks/items(stackable to 64) needed to get a specific output strength when using a furnace. Minimum and maximum needed items are shown. The optimal column tries to round to the nearest number of full slots between the minimum and maximum, if that isn't possible it optimizes by splitting 64-stacks in half and so on. Basically it's easier to count and needs less clicks to get a number of blocks/items in the furnace.

*Note that you have to smelt things to get items into the third slot, therefore using chests may be a better option if you want signal strength 11 or higher.

Power listings of a single chest

This table shows the number of full slots(e.g. non-stackables like shovels,...) and blocks/items(stackable to 64) needed to get a specific output strength when using a single chest. Minimum and maximum needed items are shown. The optimal column tries to round to the nearest number of full slots between the minimum and maximum.

Signal strength At least At most Optimal

15 27 0 27 0 27

By using the /give command, it is possible to get a stack that has more than the normal maximum for an item. For example, beds normally do not stack, however you can use /give <Player> bed 27 to get a stack of 27 beds. If you put the resulting stack of 27 beds in a chest, it will then output a signal strength of 15. Using this technique, and increasing the number to greater than 27, you can create chests (and other containers) which are more than 100% full. While you cannot store a signal with strength larger than 15 in redstone wire, redstone comparators can internally have a strength of more than 15. This internal strength can then be subtracted to reach signal strengths that wire can carry. For example, if you put 29 beds in a chest, set a comparator examining the chest to subtraction mode, and subtract a signal of maximum strength (15), the comparator will output a signal strength of 1.

Jukebox record identification

Unlike most containers, the signal output by a jukebox represents the record it contains. It outputs:

Signal Record
0 none
1 13
2 cat
3 blocks
4 chirp
5 far
6 mall
7 mellohi
8 stal
9 strad
10 ward
11 11
12 wait
13 unused
14 unused
15 unused

Other unique block outputs

End Portal Frame blocks output a full signal of 15 if they contain an Eye of Ender and zero otherwise.

Cauldrons output different signal strengths depending on how much water is inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Item Frames (Upcoming) output different signal strengths depending on how many times it has been turned. 0 for an empty item frame, one for an item, plus one signal strength per turn, resets to one after eight turns.

Command block output

Command Blocks output a property called "Success Count", which represents the number of times the most recently used command of this Command Block succeeded. A "success" is defined by the command's success conditions: if a red error message is returned, the command was not successful.

Most commands can only succeed once per execution, but certain commands (such as those which accept players as arguments) can succeed multiple times, and the comparator will output the number of times it succeeded (of course, this is capped at a full signal of 15, so it will output 15 if there were 15 or more successes). Examples of such commands are /tell and /testfor. Note that /say will never output more than 1, as the command only outputs one message in chat regardless of the number of players who are referenced (their names are merely formatted as a list of the form "name1, name2, and name3").

Note that the comparator will output the Command Block's success count for the last command executed: it will be a constant signal (or lack thereof) and will only update when the command is next executed. Unfortunately many commands fail to pass on a failure, meaning once the redstone comparator is lit it will be permanently lit. The blockdata command can be used to reset such a "problem circuit".

{{for|other kinds of boats|Boat (disambiguation)}}

A '''boat with chest''' is a single [[chest]] occupying the passenger seat of a [[boat]], and functions as such. As it can still be driven it can be used to transport [[item]]s over bodies of water.

== Obtaining ==
A boat with chest can be directly retrieved by attacking it, as it drops itself in item form, along with its contents.

[[Tool]]s and [[weapon]]s with damage above 4 can instantly destroy a boat with chest in one hit.{{only|Java}}

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|head= 1
|Chest
|Matching Boat
|Output= Matching Boat with Chest
|type= Transportation
|foot= 1
}}

== Usage ==
A boat with chest can be used for the transportation of players, mobs and items, or as fuel when [[smelting]].

=== Fuel ===
A boat with chest can be used as fuel in a [[furnace]], it lasts 60 seconds, smelting up to 6 items.

=== Transportation ===
{{main|Boat#Transportation}}

Boats with chests can carry only one entity while regular boats can carry up to two.

== Behavior ==
[[File:All boats with chests.png|alt=This photo shows all the types of boats with chests.|thumb|240px|All types of boats with chests.]]
{{main|Boat#Behavior}}
Boats with chests share most behaviors with boats.

=== Item storage ===
[[File:Boat with Chest GUI.png|thumb|176px|The GUI of a boat with chest.]]
The inventory of the boat with chest has the same amount of slots as a single chest. Its inventory can be accessed by {{Control|Sneak|text=sneaking}} and {{Control|interact|text=interacting}} with the boat with chest, {{control|interact|text=interacting}} with the part of the boat with chest that actually contains the chest while another player or entity is inside the boat, or by opening the player's {{Control|inventory}} while inside the boat. This means that the player cannot access armor slots without exiting the boat.

When a boat with chest moves above, underneath, or beside a [[hopper]], its inventory is filled or drained accordingly. Due to the size of its hitbox, a boat with chest can be placed above up to 9 hoppers, allowing it to evenly split its items nine ways.

=== Naming ===
{{IN|java}}, unlike most other storage devices, a boat with chest renamed in an [[anvil]] does not display the custom name in its GUI.<ref>{{bug|MC-249408||Boats with Chests lose their name when placed}}</ref>

=== Piglin ===
As with other chests, opening or breaking a boat with chest causes nearby piglin(s) to attack the player.

== Sounds ==

Boats with chests use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* A [[chest]] is short enough that a boat with chest falls onto it rather than crashes into it.
* The chest texture is 12×12 pixels, rather than the 14×14 pixel texture the block uses. This is not the case with the [[minecart with chest]].
* Despite the minecart with chest using the Christmas texture, the boat with chest still uses the default chest texture during Christmas time.<ref>{{bug|MC-249378}}</ref>

13w01aAdded redstone comparator, with 0 delay.
13w01bAdded delay (1/2 tick, half the delay of the repeater. This is for bug-fixing)
All containers output a redstone signal when a Comparator is placed against it directly. The strength of it depends on how full the container is. This works with Trapped Chests as well, meaning it can provide two redstone signals with different causes at the same time.
13w02aUpdated texture to show quartz in the middle.
When fed by containers, they will now start giving out a signal as soon as 1 item is in the container, allowing for empty container detection.
13w02bLarge/double chests can now release a redstone signal when connected to a Comparator depending on the amount of stacks within. Before, double chests would only emit a signal depending on how full each individual chest was (a double chest with only the the top half full would emit a full signal from the side that the items were in).
13w03aComparators fed by command blocks will now indicate whether the last run command was run successfully
Comparators can be used to get an analog redstone signal indicating the amount of found players by using the new /testfor command.
Comparators powered by detector rails now give out a signal depending on the fullness of the container on the rail.
13w04aComparators can now be used with jukeboxes - the output signal strength relates to disk number.
13w05aComparators no longer cause constant block updates, the delay is made consistent, and side input no longer causes a pulse output.
13w05bComparator delay changed from 1/2 redstone tick to 1 redstone tick.
13w09cThe redstone signal strength from a comparator next to a brewing stand with 3 water bottles in it is the same as one with 3 water bottles and 1 ingredient in it.

The '''dragon's breath''' is a [[brewing]] item that is used solely to make [[lingering potion]]s.

== Obtaining ==

The dragon's breath can be obtained by scooping  up the [[ender dragon]]'s breath attack or the purple [[area effect cloud|effect clouds]] caused by [[dragon fireball]]s in an empty [[glass bottle]].

== Usage ==

=== Brewing ingredient ===

Dragon's breath may be added to any splash potion to upgrade it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a lasting [[Lingering Potion#Area Effect Cloud|area effect cloud]], or to craft [[Arrow#Tipped arrows|tipped arrows]].
{{brewing
  |name=[[Lingering Potion]]
  |showname=1
  |Dragon's Breath
  |Any Lingering Potion
  |base=Any Splash Potion}}

When put 2 or more dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, a glass bottle will drop as an [[Item (entity)|entity]]. However, if put only 1 dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, the glass bottle is consumed and cannot be retrieved.<ref>{{bug|MC-259583}}</ref>

'''String''' is an item used in [[crafting]] recipes such as [[bow]]s, [[fishing rod]]s and [[lead]]s. When placed as a [[block]], string becomes '''tripwire''', which can be combined with [[Tripwire Hook|tripwire hooks]] to form a tripwire circuit.

== Obtaining==
String can be obtained from [[drop]]s, breaking [[cobweb]]s, [[fishing]], [[bartering]], and as gifts from [[cat]]s. String can be looted from [[jungle temple]]s, [[desert pyramid]] chests, and [[dungeon]]s.

===Breaking ===
Tripwire can be {{control|mine|text=mined}} instantly with any [[tool]], dropping string. Tripwire is also removed and drops string as an [[item]] when:
*[[Water]] flows into its space
* A [[piston]] pushes it or moves a [[block]] into its space
Tripwire is destroyed without dropping string if [[lava]] flows into its space.

A [[cobweb]] drops string when it is broken in these ways (see also {{section link|Cobweb|Usage}}):
*Breaking a cobweb with a [[sword]]
*Pushing a cobweb with a [[piston]]
*[[Water]] breaking a cobweb by flowing over it (flowing [[lava]] destroys cobwebs without leaving string)

===Natural generation===
Five pieces of tripwire generate naturally in every [[jungle temple]]. 

===Mob loot ===
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s drop 0–2 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 string with Looting III.

[[Strider]]s drop 2–5 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2–8 string with Looting III.{{only|Java|short=1}}

[[Cat]]s drop 0–2 string upon death, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-200707||Looting does not increase drops for iron golems and cats}}</ref>

===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|string}}

===Fishing===
String has a 0.6% ({{frac|3|500}}) chance of being caught when [[fishing]] with an unenchanted fishing rod. The chance decreases to 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}), 0.4% ({{frac|1|250}}), and 0.3% ({{frac|3|1000}}) if the fishing rod is enchanted with [[Luck of the Sea]] at enchantment levels I, II, and III, respectively.

===Cat gifts===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a string.

===Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 3-9 string when given a [[gold ingot]].

== Usage==
String can be used as a crafting ingredient and tripwire can be used as a [[redstone circuit]] component. It can also be used to keep [[player]]s from ender-pearling through that space.

=== Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}

===Redstone component===
{{redirect|Tripwire|tripwire hooks|Tripwire Hook}}
{{see also|Redstone circuits}}

String can be placed as tripwire, which can be used to detect [[entity|entities]] as part of a tripwire circuit. [[Observer]]s can also be used with a tripwire to generate redstone signals. 

;Placement

To place tripwire, {{control|use}} string while pointing at a surface facing the space the tripwire should occupy.

{{Schematic | caption =
'''Tripwire Circuit'''
|SB|th-$w|tw-$ew|th-$e|SB
}}
:In order to activate [[tripwire hook]]s, tripwire must be part of a "tripwire circuit": a straight line of [[block]]s consisting of a block with a tripwire hook attached to it, a "tripwire line" (1 to 40 blocks of tripwire), and a second tripwire hook attached to another block. 

;Activation
Tripwire activates if almost any [[entity]] ([[player]]s, [[mob]]s, [[minecart]]s, [[boat]]s, [[item]]s, [[arrow]]s, etc.) intersects its collision mask. The tripwire remains active until there are no entities intersecting its collision mask. Thrown [[potion]]s, some arrows, thrown [[ender pearl]]s, and thrown [[eyes of ender]] do not activate tripwire.

;Behavior
An active tripwire updates adjacent [[block]]s (for example, it can activate a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD circuit]]). Additionally, active tripwires that are part of valid tripwire circuits cause the attached tripwire hooks to activate (producing [[redstone]] power). Active tripwires do ''not'' themselves produce redstone power.

When tripwire is broken (including by being washed away by spreading [[water]] {{in|java}}) after being part of a valid tripwire circuit, it activates the attached tripwire hooks for 5 redstone ticks (10 game [[tick]]s, or 0.5 seconds barring lag). It does not produce the signal if it is broken using [[shear]]s.

===Trading===
Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 20 string as part of their first-tier trade.

Journeyman-level fletcher villagers buy 14 string for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

'''Blaze rods''' are [[item]]s exclusively obtained from [[blaze]]s. They act as a fuel for both brewing and [[smelting]], and are required to craft [[eye of ender|eyes of ender]] used to access to [[the End]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
When killed by a player or tamed [[wolf]], a [[blaze]] has a 50% chance to drop a blaze rod. The [[Looting]] [[enchantment]] can increase the drops by one per level, for a maximum of 4 blaze rods. Blazes do not drop any blaze rods if killed by any other source.

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Fuel ===

When used in a [[furnace]], a blaze rod lasts 120 seconds (12 items).

'''A very fine item''' was a joke item from [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], found only in the {{code|isolation}} dimension.

== Appearance ==
The texture of a very fine item resembles the side face of a grass block with the words "Home Sweet Home" written on it. Unlike most items, its texture is 64x64 pixels, rather than the usual 16x16.

== Obtaining ==
=== Dimension ===
A very fine item can only be obtained from an item frame in the {{Code|isolation}} dimension. There is a maximum of 1 fine item that can be found legitimately in any world.

=== Cheats/Creative mode ===
This item can't be found in the creative inventory, but it can be middle-click duplicated in creative mode or given with the {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:fine_item <amount>}} command.

== Usage ==
This item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. It can still be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame.

Issues

Issues relating to "Redstone Comparator" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • The comparator does not re-strengthen a redstone signal. This means it can not be used for super-long instant circuits.
  • If placed every second block between redstone, they can endlessly carry a signal, at same speed than repeaters on first setting, without it losing power strength. Placing a non-transparent block at every corner allows it to bend without losing power. It is also possible to reduce the needed amount of comparators further (and thus improve the signal speed) by facing the comparators into solid blocks behind which redstone is placed
  • A redstone comparator outputs a strong signal. This does not mean it resets the signal strength like repeaters, but it means the signal can be picked up through a block without using a repeater (Like a repeater)
  • If you join up the redstone torches, an arrow is created which points to the redstone output. This arrow can also be seen as a red triangle on the Comparator, if one looks hard enough.
  • If placed on a Barrier, you can see the bottoms of the torches
  • An empty Minecart, an empty Minecart with Chest and a Minecart with a mob in it will all give no redstone output when passing over a Detector Rail with a comparator next to it
