Redstone is a big part of Minecraft and so its components are very important. There are about 40 different blocks that can interact with redstone, by sending redstone signals and receiving them. Those include more apparent blocks like redstone dust, redstone block, redstone torch, repeater and comparators, but some blocks like the composter, jukebox, target block and even decorated pots are redstone components. This extensive and detailed guide will answer all the questions you might have about them and will show you how to make or get each of them.

Powered rail is a special rail type you can craft with six gold ingots, one stick, one redstone dust and a crafting table. First, fill the left and right columns of the grid with gold ingots. Then, place the stick in the central slot and redstone dust right below it. As you do that, six powered rails will appear on the right. You can use powered rails as a road for minecarts. They can act as a boost for them if the rail is activated or as a break if the rail is not activated.

To craft a piston, you'll need to make and collect four cobblestone blocks, three planks of any wood type, one iron ingot, one redstone dust and a crafting table. Fill the upper row with planks and then add four cobblestone blocks in each remaining cell of the left and right columns. Add the iron ingot in the middle cell of the crafting table's grid and place redstone dust below it. With that, the crafting recipe for Minecraft piston is complete and all you should do is to click on the piston icon and place the block into your inventory.

To use the time command, like many other commands in Minecraft, you first need to enable cheats. Then, open chat with the T key and insert one of the following options - /time add or /time query or /time set. The add keyword allows you to add time to your world's age. The query keyword lets you view the time that has passed in your world from the start. The set keyword is the most useful and it allows you to set the time to day, noon, night or midnight in Minecraft. With it, you can control various in-game events.
