I can't remember.... Will a redstone current, if properly powered, travel the entire depth and length of my Res or will it stop due to unloaded chunk syndrome, etc?
I'm not 100% sure but I remember making a really long Redstone current with lots of loops (long enough to not be fully rendered) and the signal still went by. I guess it would work here. If not well, my bad Check MC forums or try it yourself if nobody else replies.
If the chunk is loaded then it will, and even if it not in you're render distance (Such as down at bedrock) then it will still work because you have loaded that chunk. I think its 5 chunk's from where you are on X and Z Co-ords
