It does three things.

- It can extend a redstone charge. Normally a charge only carries for about 16 blocks. A Redstone repeater will extend it by another 16.

- Delays a signal. The lever setting can add a delay between the time when the repeater receives charge, and when it passes it on. A long chain of repeaters can add delays of seconds or more.

- Directs a signal. Imagine you want three adjacent, but seperate lines of redstone charge. If you use redstone dust, the lines will link together, as the dust forms little + shapes. However if you use a line of repeaters, the current can be transferred in adjacent channels without bleeding into each other.

How do you use a redstone repeater in minecraft?

Ah the redstone repeater, a very useful item, here is how you use it: - = redstone wire > = redstoen repeater -->--------- You have to make sure you place the repeater the direction the redstone is traveling. Also when you click on the repeater, the torches move right? That is for setting delay on the repeater or in different words setting how long it takes for the redstone signal to pass through the repeater. Enjoy your redstone circuts :)
