I'm making a computer that's supposed to control redstone wires connected to it, how would I do this.

I currently have a text field that looks for certain commands (like 'redstoneOn' and 'redstoneOff') how would I have it so when the command is on the computer starts providing power?(and stops respectively)

    Packets. Most likely I would send a packet to the tile entity if you have one for consistencies sake, and then have the tile entity update the blocks state like the furnace does. Since packets have changed a lot in 1.7, look here for how to use them: www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Netty_Packet_Handling

    If you really want help, give that modder a thank you.

     

    Modders LOVE thank yous.

    You need to override the power methods in Block.

    Though if you want to power non-adjacent blocks, that is going to be trickier.
