In the Minecraft Multiverse a group of 12 Miner-Scientists (Also called as Minentists) called Reds found an ore that could power light, pistons and more, due to that they named the substance "Red" since the color of the substance is Red. Their names are January, Febuary, March, April and so on. Due to the discovery of such powerful substance the team had to reduce the "Red" on its power therefore they made it into dusts that way the power will be enough to keep a source online but reducing its power can reduce its distance of power, What im saying is that if the dust goes too long from its main source, it weakens therefore June made the "Repeater" he created a system that makes the "Red" repeats it powerful self and goes on. And that was the start of "The Red Age"
