Redstone Repeater at a glance

Redstone Repeater comes from crafting, and Redstone is where it sits as a redstone component. Carrying Redstone Repeater is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest.

Redstone Repeater earns its place in redstone by what it does to a signal, and that behaviour is the building block under the farms, doors and machines that run without a player standing there. It has no mining time at all. It sits between Redstone Lamp and Redstone Repeater in Redstone, number 20 of 29 there.

Building with it

Three stone, two torches and one redstone dust make a repeater, and it does three jobs: it refreshes a fading signal back to full strength, it forces the current one way, and it delays by one to four ticks depending on how you set it.

In practice

Right clicking a repeater steps its delay through one, two, three and four ticks, and a tick is a tenth of a second. Two repeaters side by side also lock each other, which is how a signal can be held in place, and that locking behaviour is what most memory cells in the game are built from.
