	==Intro==

This mod's main goal is to help understand the basic principles of connecting redstone in Minecraft.
Have you ever wondered why a piston was powered while it shouldn't be, or where to put a redstone light next to a wire in order to be properly lit ? 
If so, this mod is for you. If you already a lot about redstone then this mod is still a great way to debug advanced circuitry, and can be coming handy.
Or if you are a Youtuber and want to highlight your redstone tutorials so they are easy to understand for you viewers.
This mod does not provide any different behaviourof of the redstone, and can be considered.


	==Installation== 

This mod gets installed like most mods :

(windows)

1) Make a backup of your minecraft.jar, located in D:\userdata\username\Application Data\.minecraft\bin
(to open it, search "%appdata%" in the windows search bar)
2) Open it using Winrar
3) Drag in the mod files (the .java files and the terrain.png) you find in the mod folder
4) click OK
5) Delete the META-INF folder in the opened minecraft.jar (if not, you will get a black screen at launch)
6) launch minecraft, and SELECT THE DEFAULT TEXTURE PACK (if not, you will get ugly pink powered blocks)
7) Enjoy !

(OSX)


1) Make a backup of your minecraft.jar in ~/Library/Application Support/Minecraft/bin
2) Unarchive it 
3) Drag in the mod files (the .java files and the terrain.png) you find in the mod folder
5) Delete the META-INF folder in the opened minecraft.jar (if not, you will get a black screen at launch)
6) Delete the existing minecraft.jar, so you can rename the unarchived file "minecraft.jar"
7) click add
8) launch minecraft, and SELECT THE DEFAULT TEXTURE PACK (if not, you will get ugly pink powered blocks)
9) Enjoy !



	==Use==

This mod is fairly easy to use. The blocks who get a bright red cross on them are powering blocks and transmit power to any of the 6 adjacent blocks.
Those 6 blocks get a sligh red outline in the corners.
This mod also provides a way to understand BUDs (Block update detectors). The pistons can be powered through this block (if it is adjacent to a 
powered block), however they "wake up" only under certain conditions (basically if a block is placed adjacent to a piston base, or 
if water flows by... etc) check out "http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Block_update_detector" for more information on the subject.

You can toggle ON/OFF the highlighting of the blocks with the added options in the options menu.



	==Notes==

It works for Single Player mode and Multiplayer mode in 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 versions of Minecraft

This mod has to be installed on a Vanilla (not already modded) minecraft.jar (compatibility with other mods has not been tested yet, 
and will likely not work)

This is currently a beta version, so don't expect it to be flawless.
Please be kind to report bugs and comments to the developer Spok265 at EasyRedstoneMod@gmail.com

Developers who want to be part of the project can also contact us at EasyRedstoneMod@gmail.com

Next step is to get compatibility with other mods, (Forge)

Make sure you backup all of your minecraft files beforehand (saves included).
We will not be held responsible for any misuse of the mod.
