    Redstone wires only can go 15 blocks from the source. You can extend it by another 15 blocks by placing Redstone torches at each 15 block interval (or less than 15 if desired). This can be repeated as many times as you want.

    Here’s a little description:

    S ===== T ===== G

    Or

    S === T === T === G

    - S stands for switch

    - T stands for Redstone torch

    - G stands for doors or anything that can be connected to wires

    - And finally, = stands for Redstone wires. Those wires can be of any length...as long it’s 15 blocks or less between points S, T, and G.

    It’s a little bit complicated, but I hope this helps you enough, that is, if you understand this at all.

    There’s a whole article on Redstone circuitry on Minecraft wiki:

    http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Redstone_circuit...

    In that link, look in the table of contents for “Repeater” under “Logic Gates”, that’s where it talks about extending the length. Or you can just click on the link below:

    Also, if you want, you can look up “Redstone Circuits” or “Redstone Gates” on YouTube for some visual help.

    I wish you luck!

    Use a redstone repeater. thy are used to make signals go farther then 15 blocks and can be used for delays and clocks.
