Well I took a look at the buildcraft code, and some of it makes sense, like looping through the 6 sides of a pipe/wire to check for connections, and something about energy requests. But I was wondering if I could get some pseudocode on what I need to do. That would be great

I am new to modding minecraft, and I was wondering if I could have any help in developing a wire block similar to those in Industrial Craft 2. Should I use TileEntities for the wires? And how do I make them communicate?
