Identifying Redstone Comparator Modes and Active States

Placing and Orienting the Comparator

Place a Redstone Comparator on a solid surface directly in front of a container, such as a chest or hopper. The pack revamps standard redstone utility blocks so you can read power states and modes immediately without having to open an interface or guess torch heights.

Switching Between Active Modes

Comparators operate in two modes, both of which are clearly differentiated by the new 3D model:

  • Regular Comparison Mode: When first placed, the front redstone torch sits unlit. When the rear container fills, the comparator outputs a signal, visibly lighting up the model's active state components.
  • Subtraction Mode: Right-click the comparator to toggle it into subtraction mode. The front torch model visibly changes position and illuminates, providing an instant visual cue that subtraction logic is active.

By observing the custom 3D model and animated indicators, you can troubleshoot complex circuits or storage systems across your survival base at a single glance.
