Usage
Redstone Comparators are primarily used in Redstone circuits to maintain, compare, or subtract signal strength, or to measure certain Block states, including the fullness of Containers such as Chests, Brewing Stands, and Furnaces.
The Comparator has two modes; Subtraction Mode and Comparison Mode. When the single light is lit, it is in Comparison Mode. When the Player hits the comparator it switches mode.
