Copper bulb delay based on oxidation level

Proposal: make the copper bulb delay vary based on the oxidation level as follows:

  • normal: 0 game tick delay
  • exposed: 1 game tick delay
  • weathered: 2 game tick delay
  • oxidized: 3 game tick delay

As many have noted, the copper bulb was originally celebrated by the technical Minecraft community as it provided a quiet, compact, non-directional means for introducing 1 game tick delays into redstone contraptions.

At the same time, there is also some value in achieving faster comparator outputs when the bulb is used as a t-flip flop.

This proposal would allow us to have it both ways... and more. Plus, it ties into the copper oxidation level, so it intuitively makes sense!

    More people should vote on this. It's a brilliant compromise.

    I was just about to make a post with the exact same idea. Why does this have so few votes, it's the perfect solution to the current situation.

    This is absolutely perfect and what I think the best choice is for the copper bulb

    I personally feel as if this would be a more compromise-solution to the current issue of the usefulness!

    As a casual redstoner (and (un)fortunately frequent modder) This feels like a more Mojang way to compromise and I love it!

    Perfect compromise, this suggestion should receive far more attention.
    Now, however, there's the issue that caused the nerf in the first place; this idea of Java edition needing to be brought in line with Bedrock ("parity") for......some reason?

    To fix the fact that redstone on bedrock doesnt work on odd ticks mojang could just make the delays for bedrock even.
