A Command Block is a special kind of block which can be activated to run a Minecraft command. When combined together in chains or as part of redstone contraptions, these can be used to create simple or complex systems. Many of Zedwork's custom ZestyGames run on Command Blocks

Usage

There are 3 types of command block:

Impulse

When powered this Command Block will run its command, and all those in the chain following it, once per activation.

Chain

This special Command Block does not run on its own, but will run its command when activated as part of a chain of Command Blocks.

Repeating

When powered this Command Block will run its command, and all those in the chain following it, 20 times per second.
