Control Customer Spawning with Redstone

Using Redstone Power

The Customer Spawner responds to redstone signals, giving you precise control over when buyers appear.

Stopping Spawns

When the spawner receives redstone power, it stops generating new customers. This is useful when you're overwhelmed or need time to restock. Connect redstone wire, a lever, or a button to the spawner to toggle it on and off.

Manual Mode

For complete control, use Manual Mode: connect a button or redstone pulse mechanism directly to the spawner. Each pulse spawns exactly one customer. This lets you serve buyers at your own pace without time pressure, perfect for building or testing your shop setup.

Practical Setup

Combine redstone control with shift modes for flexible gameplay. Run timed shifts during active play, then power down the spawner when you need a break. Or stick entirely to manual mode for a relaxed, no-pressure experience.
