Creating a custom signal?

[DanilaFE]

This one might be strange. Say I want to create a separate kind of signal (like redstone) but so that it does not get powered from actual vanilla redstone. I'm a beginner, so should I even try to start?

Everyone has to start somewhere. I have literally thrown myself into the deep end quite a few times, and in the end I have learned ALOT. As long as you can find someone to guide you, GO FOR IT!!

Look at how redstone does it copy that and recode it so it won't interfer with redstone

Pretty much this.

 

There's about four functions involved that you'd need to duplicate, but name differently.

 

isProvidingWeakPower

canProvidePower

isProvidingStrongPower

 

and possibly

 

canConnectRedstone
