I don't usually get excited about this game but this Redstone update is something else. Does the Redstone really work? Also how do you use the trip wire?

In MineCraft, you place one tripwire against a wall, then put another tripwire on the wall straight across from it, then you would've placed string down (as in MineCraft, string is placeable, mainly for this use) to connect the two tripwires together, and once a player, mob, or item stands onto or walks through the set up tripwire's string, then it activates a redstone signal, useful for making traps.

BlueTangs Rock3, I tried this and used tnt so it could be triggered. The tnt did explode however , I'm not sure if the trip wire is working correctly since I walked pass the string multiple times without it triggering. Also, has anyone tried using dispensers?

I think you'ld need to put a redstone dust behind the block the tripwire is on, though walking on the string is required to activate it. Though then again, I don't think PoC's redstone mechanics are fully implemented yet.

BlueTangs Rock3, okay I did that thanks. The trap worked but it only works on mobs, it didn't affect players.
