Mojang Doesn't Understand Redstone

[@CraftyMasterman]

Though a lot of what was said in the video might not hold up, here are some parts that still do imo. The reason the Crafter and Copper Bulb were so well received is exactly what the video said "QOL changes fix old problems, new blocks create new problems". Those 2 blocks are new in the sense that they are new features, but it works because their features interact and integrate with the current redstone system. Whereas sculk was less popular because they tried to forcefully push a new system that did not integrate well with the rest of redstone. So has this video aged well? Ehhhh depends, there are cases for yes and no Edit: 23w46a ruined all my praises for these LOL. This video is more true than ever now Edit 2: I won't remove what I said originally but I really do think a follow up video about parity might be coming given the bulb situation. I feel like that would be a good way to sum up all my thoughts

[@PrinterPog]

nah, we understand. We need QOL changes more than the new stuff. For example, back then, people used to make pistons detect block updates, but now we have observers. People did machines that detected dirt turning into grass just to know if its day or not, now we have daylight sensors (does anybody even use daylight sensors anymore?). We need to make redstone builds smaller, and easier, not add more problems to it. Also, mojang is slowly improving at redstone. Give them some time, and I bet we will get most of the things we want. (I would also appreciate some new commands, the /tick command is awesome, I hope they add some more)

[@strings1984]

Qasi connectivity was both the bane of every old school redstone contraptions and the secret sauce that made so many of them work. They remove the bug and find out it was actually useful so they add it back as a feature of something else, something smaller and less confusing, something shiny and new. They minimized 1*4 circuits into single blocks. Bud detectors became observers and the copper lamp is a t-flip flop next it will be a new compariter that is actually a one block directional and or nor gate so you don't have to work about the one tick delay, lighting updates, or quasi connectivity of redstone torches...

[@TheSpookiestSkeleton]

It's a lot easier to improve something that already exists than to invent something novel that is useful. I mean, there's evidence of that fact everywhere you look. Although sometimes you get something great

That's what happens when the code's bad! Though Java edition is obviously better, Bedrock, with Microsoft behind it, is the better programmed version and would be much more easily moddable if we weren't limited to the marketplace.

[@phoenixcraft9940]

@@ccaagg It's more rigidly coded though. Java Edition is incredibly flexible and easy to modify, however Bedrock has various complications due to the nature of its loading environment and lighting engine. It's not easy to make a mod loader on Bedrock, especially as Java's system is much more complicated, allowing for a lot more creativity. This is also why Bedrock is so unstable - sure, the code is a lot faster, however most things are 'hard coded' by the nature of the limited processing power and storage of the mobile devices it was designed to run on. Java, on the other hand, had a lot of major changes performed to it over the years that made its code more modular as there's way more resources to spend on PCs. You can see this when editing .dat files or .json files when dealing with items, chunks, etc. You have a number of hyper-flexible fields that you can modify in many different ways, which mods use all the time to easily implement items and textures. Bedrock does not have this flexibility and instead has a bunch of really hacky entity-based solutions to do most activities, let alone the really poorly made shader code (well, it's not exactly 'poorly made' but it is definitely not intended to be changed or built upon) that is also really hard to modify. Anyways, the reason Mojang doesn't understand its own creation is not because the 'code is bad' - in fact it's actually a sign of really good game design when the players are given so much creativity that players are able to do things even the developers don't understand and the game still works as intended. This is called emergent gameplay or an emergent feature, and in a game made to be as flexible as Minecraft this is a normal occurrence. The solution to Mojang's problems would be to revert to becoming a more community-focused studio, however it physically cannot do that as Minecraft is the most popular game on the planet and is owned by Microsoft - it is no longer an indie studio. This is an issue that Mojang is going to continue to face until they take some sort of initiative in community outreach (and by 'community' I don't mean the PR youtube videos they post that provide pretty much nothing)

This reminds me of a snapshot bug from a long time ago. If you used /summon to create a custom splash potion entity, you could replace the "splash potion" part with any item you wanted. This was actually really cool, because splash potions (and other thrown items) are rendered so that they always face the player. Combiend with the "NoGravity" tag, this allowed players to create floating items that always faced the player, which created a really unique effect. And considering this "bug" was only possible with commands, it wasn't hurting anyone either! Mojang fixed it the snapshot after they introduced it. No, I'm not still mad, why do you ask? It's not like I still remember it clearly several years after the fact. EDIT: This "bug" was introduced in 15w45a before being patched in 15w46a.

Another recent example of a block being shockingly useful for redstone applications is the mangrove roots: solid block, can be waterlogged with nothing coming out of the sides, and is able to be pushed by pistons.

[@hjhjkhfkfkd]

It wouldn't be good to bloat the game with a hundreds new Redstone blocks each with a niche purpose, adding the functionalities to old blocks seems a good decision. Besides, the aesthetic of the old blocks is the best.

[@BryanLu0]

​@@Chorismos Is it a non-issue though? Most new redstone blocks aren't very useful as intended. Usually only by emergent features do they become useful

[@Chorismos]

@@BryanLu0 and that is a problem because...? Like the orignal comment says, "There is no point in adding Redstone blocks with incredibly niche purposes. That would just bloat the game." It's completely fine for blocks to have Primary and Secondary purposes for different playstyles. Many blocks in the game already do (Redstone dot is used by builders for blood.) The Target Block and Skulk sensor were made for basic Mini-game creations (in Survival) with their secondary purpose being, useful for niche Redstone circuits. Admittedly the Target block does that better than Skulk, but that's because niether the community nor Mojang have been able to solve it's problems. For example both Mojang's and Purplers' solution for a Calibrated Skulk sensor requires you to use a look-up table not present anywhere in the game.

[@tobysuren]

Here's the thing - skulk sensors and chiseled bookshelves *aren't* for redstoners. They're for people who want simple solutions to simple redstone problems rather than slightly better solutions to very complicated problems. Whilst a player could have a button or tripwire to open a door to their base, they could also have a calibrated skulk sensor. This is a very simple example, and that's the point. Skulk sensors weren't designed to weave their way into complex problems, they were designed to make a cooler way to open a 2x2 or make automatic lighting or something like that and so by design they're not really made to be a redstone block barrel obsidian target hopper timer all in one. And whilst yes, Mojang can make these sorts of blocks as fixes to old blocks, to the average player it looks like a minor change so they think redstone isn't being updated as much as it should. If they were to introduce a new redstone block barrel obsidian target hopper timer all in one, most people would look at it as a completely useless block and blame Mojang for releasing a bad update. With a chiseled bookshelf it's clear what it does - allow you to store books and check book inputs - and it seems like a problem that the average player would actually face.

[@LOL-gn5oh]

Yeah... That is why the Redstone is so jank and non-intuitive, Mojang never dares to improve these mechanics because every time they try to make a single change, there is always a complain by redstoners. Until redstoners stop being totally conservative, we will never see a substantial improvement in these mechanics.

[@pierrotA]

But Skull sensors are incredibly difficult to use and even the best restoners have difficulty to make a 2x2 door with it... The calibrated sensor was a good idea, but that it's cooldown, timing, and calibration method were so badly choosen that it is still very difficult to use... An amateur will never understand how to use it. Clearly, they do not test the redstone changes a lot before pushing them. Most of the fonctionnality are bugs that got present for so long they become part of the game, and they struggle at keeping them intact at each update.

[@tobysuren]

@@pierrotA by a 2x2 piston door I'm talking about a very simple one that doesn't have a weirdly placed chest right in front of it, where all you have to do is place down a skulk sensor where the button would be and place wool between the sensor and the piston.

@@pierrotA but most people don't care that much about skulk sensors... they'll just make a small little contraption like a 2x2, won't overthink the fact that any sound can open it, won't activate enough to warrant the cooldown being relevant... a better example (if you really need one) is hiding skulk sensors inside TNT for a quick joke, or making a rudimentary wireless redstone system. Yes sure it has vulnerabilities but the average player simply doesn't care enough and will just look at it and go "ooh cool wireless redstone" and it's *those* people, not experienced redstoners, that those sorts of blocks are designed for. It's the novelty, not the actual use, because *trust me* it is very hard to explain to an average player why they want a redstone block barrel obsidian target hopper timer all in one so all Mojang can do is brush it under the rug as a minor change. And while yes they could add these features into new blocks like they did with the target block but it would, in most cases, just make the block feel like there's too much going on.

[@bobertjohnson4459]

There’s something funny to me about a change to a block that’s meant to make noise being incredibly useful in silent contraptions

[@dashinking]

I'm not a redstoner, but I believe that since the redstone community is much smaller than the general playerbase, it's more difficult for them to make features specifically catered to them that aren't just surface level. Another thing is that redstone is less "publicized" for various reasons on places like KZbin, so people tend to give it less attention in general. However, I still think they do care with how they've tested changes in snapshots and reverted them when deemed unpopular, or held off on removing things until they've found a replacement (like tnt duping).

[@TheRodentMastermind]

It's not that hard though... Take Glazed Terracotta, a block that doesn't stick but can be pushed... suddenly really useful in redstone.

I personally think the calibrated sculk sensor could create a lot of opportunities with redstone especially with the amethyst functionality they added in. Mumbo already showed in a video that they can be used for easy long range, compact redstone that can have multiple inputs, he also showed it's use in a piston door as well. I'm general I think wireless redstone will be good for the community and could create a lot more inventions, of course though I don't think it'll have any effect on certain farms and I don't think it'll effect slimestone at all, I do think it has some use in piston doors and that it could be extremely good for computational redstone. I definitely think that it'll have a lot of use in terms of hidden contraptions and hidden bases and what not. Keep in in mind I'm not an expert on redstone, I'm just your average joe who dabbles in it so my opinion may be wrong.

[@joda7697]

But they're way too slow, short range, and finnicky with being triggered by everything. Yeah the tuned ones may help a bit, but there's still tons of things in each skulk-frequency, that could trigger a circuit on accident.

[@weesticles650]

@@joda7697 Regardless of speed it allows extremely compact long range signals that can be extremely useful for certain builds. You can also use wool to make it so that it has to also hear the specific sound from a certain direction to help iron out the finnickeyness. You can also make sure to use a specific sound that's rarer than the others so that there's a far lower chance of it accidentally activating. Plus it could be good for traps using specific frequencies like if you're being chased down a hallway and you go to the other side and equip armor so that it activates the calibrated sculk sensor and drops the players into lava by removing the floor underneath them. It can also just be a general cool thing for doors and other contraptions where you have to unequip your armor (like tipping your hat) and it opening the door. That's less useful overall but in terms of adventure maps and narrative pieces I think the calibrated sculk sensor will be invaluable and make a lot of technical stuff far easier and allow people to create things that you previously would've needed commands for. As I said I don't know a ton about redstone so it's overall effect on the entirety of redstone is something I'm not certain of and something we'll have to wait and see, but in terms of its applications towards adventures maps I think it's invaluable. Also the short range can be fixed using the amethyst blocks to transmit them to one another, and even then having it only activate close up is good because that would keep it from activating because of some sound interaction a couple chunks away.

I think the purpose of the chiseled bookshelf is to not necessarily have a purpose but just to look cool

[@jasonjacksonii1805]

nice video. I'm curious what an ideal redstone system would look like, for technical players. If you reworked redstone from the ground up, how might you change it? I'd be interested in a video where you use the existing minecraft blocks, with as few additions as possible, to make a better system for redstone. Maybe adding or removing functionality to various blocks, by changing qualities like movable, solid, signal strength, or redstone redirectability, etc.

[@MichaelPohoreski]

First, get rid of redstone dust as a “block” (!) and replace it with red, green, blue, and white “wires” stored as *separate data within a chunk!* This way water won’t destroy them and the different colored wires can cross with no effects. Second, wires connect to/from blocks and redstone signal, now called volts, can _only_ travel via wires. This way you can make proper vertical wires without spamming redstone torches and removes the power level inversion shenanigans. This also *fixes the stupidity of redstone signal leaking into blocks around or below them.* Additionally, you only need 1 wire instead of N dust to join blocks. Third, provide proper 1 block *Boolean logic gates for ALL 16 permutations* of two Boolean inputs. This is the standard *Truth Table* which includes: * unary ops: T, F, Identity/Projection, NOT, * binary ops: AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, XNOR, two Projection, two NOT, along with T, F, IF, THEN, and two remaining Implications, Fourth, add a proper observer/comparator/hopper block that has an inventory slot for the item to filter / look for. This way we have proper item sorted that work on all blocks/items and isn’t bulky. Fifth, add a custom timer blocks that lets you set the duration from 0 - 15 (inclusive). Timer blocks comes in varieties that operate at tick, second, minute, hour, and day granularity. Sixth, add a custom repeater with delay from 0 - 15 (inclusive) Seventh, hide wires unless you have wire cutters equipped. This keeps wiring “clean.” Eighth, add 2, 3, 4, piston extenders as a single block. Ninth, fix chests to be movable tiles. Tenth, provide an LCD block that takes an input 0..9 and displays a number. Eleventh, provide a way to DEBUG a circuit where you can single-step through time to inspect the state of the circuit. The general theme here is to get rid of bulky nature of redstone and replace them with the super compact design of full supported Boolean Logic. Unfortunately the current redstone system has too many bone headed bad designs that fixing them would require a complete rethink which will never happen. It will always be one patch job upon patch job. Java and Bedrock redstone diverging was HUGE mistake that only fractured the player base instead of unifying it as anyone who has tried to build redstone for both knows all too painfully well. Redstone has SO much potential being wasted because no one wants to give it the proper TLC and importance it deserves.

[@none-ro9dz]

@@MichaelPohoreski literally all of that except the chest thing are horrible ideas that would make redstone completely bland, boring, and uninteresting to use. if you want boolean logic just wire up a circuit IRL

1:33 I was pretty sure he would say "to make redstone target another block"

[@ReinTenebres]

I like that this is showing up on my feed after the Auto Crafter and Copper Bulb gets the community excited.

[@SB_2009]

A New Revoultion In Redstone had also passed recently with the Autocrafter. Copper Bulbs are added as well. The Next Redstone Feature that i am expecting is making Daylight Sensor more of a light sensor in general. Where it detects all 15 levels of light in the game. It should be able to sense beacon beams and give it a signal. Each Color of Beacon giving off a different signal. It can also detect torches within its radius this can create alarm systems. And Beacon Beams go through the Daylight Sensor.

[@menjolno]

Reminds me of one game that the devs add things based on appearances than the actual functionality of the card that they were adding

[@overpower3382]

Assuming it doesn't already exist, I feel like a useful and interesting redstone mod would be one where you can create a block with all of the specific properties you need if such a block doesn't exist yet. If said block were to ever get added to the game, you can paste them in to replace the custom block.

Sounds like the target block's main use is to be a target for Redstone to point into. As usual, 'C' was the correct answer

wow, this feels like a Purplers video ngl

[@arcturuslight_]

The only thing I disagree with was when they reverted the note block change. This is the time i felt like redstoners went too far with their complaining and managed to take away from intended use of the block, because it... it didn't even break their contraptions.

Onestly the main problem is that mojang thinks minecraft is a game for casual player that just want to make cute build but don't remeber that ton of the community is more tecnical and about redstone and surviving.
