Best Way to Get Redstone Repeater
Redstone Torch, Redstone Dust, and Stone on a Crafting Table makes Redstone Repeater, and repeating that beats any search, because the 3 ingredients are renewable and so is Redstone Repeater. Before you can craft Redstone Repeater, gather what goes into it: Redstone Torch (craft from one redstone dust and one stick), Redstone Dust (mine redstone ore around Y -59, which is common at that depth), and Stone (smelt cobblestone, or mine stone with Silk Touch). Locks when powered from the side by another repeater, maintaining its output state. Right-click to cycle through delay settings. Redstone Repeater stacks to 64, so a single mining or crafting session can bank 1728 of them in one chest without you having to think about space at all. Since the original 1.0 release the game has kept Redstone Repeater as it is, which is why this guide holds on every current server without a version footnote. Once you have Redstone Repeater, it earns its place in the kind of automated farms, hidden doors, and timing circuits that redstone makes possible, so it is worth keeping a few crafted and ready in your storage.

A repeater is three stone, two redstone torches and one redstone dust, which makes it cheap once a torch supply exists. It does three jobs at once: it extends a signal, it delays it in four steps, and it locks a line, and every timed circuit in the game uses at least one.
What to watch out for with Redstone Repeater
Three stone, two torches and a dust makes a repeater cheap, and the two things it does are worth understanding separately: it refreshes a signal that has run fifteen blocks, and it delays by up to four ticks. Most timing problems in a first redstone build come down to a missing repeater rather than a wrong wire.
