Do you like to build contraptions with redstone? Most players at least experiment with this highly versatile mechanic of Minecraft, but it does come with some frustrating downsides. "Wouldn't it be easier if you could just stick redstone lines to walls and ceilings?" is a question I often hear (both from others, and myself). Lucky for us, that question has been answered!
Redstone Paste Mod, by FyberOptic, adds a new form of redstone dust into the game, allowing you to transmit redstone signals across a variety of surfaces, including ceilings and walls. Also included are sticky repeaters and sticky comparators, to keep your redstone current strong, or do complex logic no matter where you decide to run your paste.
The placement of the paste is uniquely different than normal redstone, however. It can be applied to any of the four directions of a block face (top, bottom, left, right), allowing you to create compact redstone paths, and only direct current in the directions you desire. Individual segments can be removed as well, so you don't have to tear down the entire wiring system just to fix, update, or improve one small section! There is much, much more, but I'll let you discover that for yourself.
One of the biggest complaints about redstone wiring has been limited space - you can only place one wire per block, and even then, only on top of blocks. With Redstone Paste, you can place it anywhere, and create much more complex devices without taking up quite so much space. Neat!
This is a really nice mod that does one thing well: redstone on walls. The fact that you can run two lines side-by-side is just gravy. It's one of those mods that really should be in the base game. :3
I know i am not into mods that much (unless their command block based) but this... This is would be a very convenient mod for anyone that likes to build redstone oriented machines but does not have the space to do it.
And yes, mojang should have definitely looked into something like this a LONG time ago.
Took them long enough to post about this. Sacheverell himself has played on forgecraft which contains project red and redpower in 1.4.7 which far predates this mod and gives the exact same effect, and then some.

So what you're saying is, I should stick to promoting mods made by well known people in the community, and start ignoring lesser-known modders? Okay.
The news text is mostly a copy of the text on the mod page.
I would have like to see something more...personal ?
But that mod deserves to be brought into the light, and the description is nice enough, i guess.
My god. I mess with red-stone all the time I love and hate the stuff at the same time. This mod sounds like it fixes all but one problem I have ever had with red stone. Water proofing red-stone, but doing that that sounds like it would make it too easy and less fun. I cant wait for the mod API so I can get this running safely on my server.
If I ever have time to actually PLAY Minecraft again, I will certainly be using this Gotta agree with GotoLink, though, the copy / paste description from the mod page is pretty disappointing. Oh well. Congrats to FyberOptic for making the news!
Its the small mods that count; the ones that enhance gameplay; the ones that don't increase the difficulty, lower the difficulty, or overhaul anything. Its these mods, or really extensions, that should be looked into for vanilla Minecraft.
