Description

Secret switches are a special feature on our server that allows you to make redstone functions that are triggered by a "hidden" switch. This is useful for making secret doors and passages with pistons and other redstone components.

The Basics

To make a hidden switch, you'll want to place a redstone lever or other activation item on the back of a block. On one of the four blocks to above, below or either side of the lever, place a sign with "[X]" on the second line. You can now run a redstone wire from that lever to whatever you want to activate.

You can secretly activate the lever by right clicking (empty hand!) on any OTHER face of the block that has the sign on it. (Most likely the opposite face.)

Examples

In this example, we've placed a lever on one block and the sign with [X] on the block above it, and laid some redstone wire way from the lever. One can toggle this lever by clicking on any face of the sign's block that empty.
