Electric wire is a spool of copper wire used to build circuits. It replaces redstone dust: placed on the ground it behaves exactly like redstone dust, carrying a signal up to 15 blocks, but it is crafted from copper ingots instead of being mined. The whole redstone family is renamed to match: the electric inverter (redstone torch), electric repeater, electric comparator, electric block and electric lamp.

| Electric Wire | 2 × Copper Ingot | matcha:crafting/copper_wire |
Two copper ingots, one above the other, make 8 electric wire.[1] The recipe unlocks when the player picks up a copper ingot.[2]
Electric wire cannot be mined. Vanilla redstone ore is renamed sulfurous quartz deposit and deepslate redstone ore sulfur deposit, which drop sulfur chunks (and, from the former, quartz) instead. The vanilla recipes that smelt redstone ore and that break a block of redstone back into dust are removed.[3]
Usage
Four electric wire can be crafted back into a copper ingot, so the conversion loses nothing.[4]
Besides redstone circuits, electric wire replaces redstone dust in the pack's recipes, including:
- electric inverters (wire on a stick, 8 per craft)
- electric lamps (wire surrounded by glass, 8 per craft)
- electric blocks (9 wire)
- pistons, observers, dispensers, droppers, crafters and note blocks
- powered and detector rails, copper bulbs, the compass, copper compass and golden compass and the copper eye
- trapped chests (a chest and a wire)
Behavior
Placed wire works exactly like vanilla redstone dust. The pack's resource pack gives it a new item texture (a spool of copper wire) and removes the red particles that powered redstone gives off.[5]
