RedstoneHud
Look at a redstone repeater or comparator to reveal its hidden state: repeater delay and lock, or comparator mode and output.

RedstoneHud is a clean look-at info layer for redstone builders. Point your crosshair at a repeater or comparator and a small readout appears in the top-left of your screen.
Repeater
- Delay: X ticks (Y.Zs) - the configured tick delay (1-4) and its real time in seconds
- Locked - shown when the repeater is currently locked by a side repeater/comparator
- Output: on / off - whether it is passing a signal
Comparator
- Mode: Compare / Subtract - which mode the comparator is in
- Output: on / off - whether it is outputting a signal
Why
Vanilla gives you no way to read a repeater's delay setting or a comparator's mode at a glance - you have to break the block or right-click and count the steps, which is slow and easy to get wrong on a tight circuit. RedstoneHud just tells you, the moment you look at it. No more guessing whether that repeater is on 2 or 3 ticks, or whether the comparator is in subtract mode.
Details
- Pure client-side info HUD - reads only vanilla block state (
delay,locked,mode,powered). No mixins, no block entities, no gameplay changes. - Reads properties generically by their stable names, so it stays accurate across versions even as mappings change.
- Toggle the HUD on/off with G.
