I've been playing around with redstone in the new patch, and I notice that redstone torches burn out immediately when power is applied to them. This means clocks don't work unless they run completely on repeaters, and inverters don't work either. :sad.gif:

Does anyone else have this problem?

I don't do circuitry. What is this?

Actually, I believe redstone in general has become pretty buggy since 1.1.0 was released. Docm77 showed an obvious bug involving powered Fence Gates in his latest .

Then why did you reply? :huh.gif:

To learn more about the situation so I could eventually ignore it.

I just made a 5clock and it worked, no idea what problem you're having...

Edit: Even my rapid pulse dispenser works.

Could you be a little bit more spesific. I just tested an old fashion 5 clock with inverters and it works fine. 4 also work, but any lower will burn torches. I think that is as it has always been.

I remember this issue happening to me in 1.6 the torches would burn out, and not come back on unless you build them somewhere else. This problem comes and goes, so I learned how to do circuitry with pistons.

Updating from 1.8 to full release broke our clock. Try removing the repeaters in one area, replacing them the same way, and testing the circuit. Keep doing this one at a time, until you get it working as intended. It's sucky but it works. The alternative is trying to build it again from scratch.

I'm guessing this is Vanilla SMP where torches burn out after an arb. number of state changes

I just made an RS-NOR latch (memory cell) using redstone and redstone torches last night for my subway system on v1.1 (Bukkit) and it worked fine. I assume Bukkit didn't change anything related to redstone, so it should be the same in vanilla.

It seems to work fine to me. Sure it isn't a server problem?

This is probably the answer. OP, you just need to include a reset switch in whatever clock you're making. I haven't noticed any difference in single player at all.

Honestly, who cares? Repeaters are so much easier, compact...

So useless after you disconnect.

Redstone torches have always been this way.
