Want a Built-In Power Line to your own Village or City? Well you came to the right place! Building a Power Line is a simple process. All you need is:

Some blocks to build a power line
A house for your lights
A Lever for the light switch
1 Sticky Piston - Per House
1 Repeter - Per House
And some RedStone!

Make a House with a Lever and Some Stuff!

Lay down a Power Line with a RS Torch, this will be your power source. And where your house is, make sure to add some Lights with Redstone.

Finally, Hook the RedStone from the Block to the Lights Above the Little Building.

Each Time the lever is on the lights will come on and when the lever is off, the lights will go off.
