After weeks of hard testing, fixing, re-testing, and fixing even more, the 1.5 Pre-Release is now ready for testing! We are in the final stretch for 1.5, and while it has taken a little longer than many expected, there is a silver lining! Tons of features were added for the Redstone Update, and a landslide of bugs were swept away, to make sure the final release was as smooth and easy as possible.

Glad to see they're finally pushing for a full release!
and REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!
Um, I'm not using a torch, I'm using a lamp. Maybe I read the wiki wrong, but it reads to me like when you open a trapped chest, it emits a redstone signal.....which can power something, like a lamp. So far I've seen very little documentation on this.
You need a repeater after the very first line of redstone wire. The chest only powers the redstone with the very slightest charge. A repeater will turn that small charge into a full 16-strength signal.
Also, I've not gotten the trapped chest to send its signal through a wall. It works fine through the floor though.
and thats all the updates herobrin was removed at least they say he was removed.
