Parity means making features behave consistently across different Minecraft editions, most commonly between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Use this category to discuss released features that exist in both versions of the game but work differently. Please note that bugs are not parity issues and should be reported separately.

(Java Parity) Redstone parity: Solving quasi-connectivity by "redstone dust block"

Java redstone quasi-connectivity bug has two beneficial effects:

  • Detecting block updates. This problem is now solved by observer block (semi-)consistently between editions.
  • Transmitting power one block down without complex wiring. This problem is currently unsolved in Bedrock edition.

While technically it isn't a real problem. Java edition can have simple contraptions (like Jeb door) which require bulky designs in Bedrock.

To solve this problem I propose a "redstone dust block". Works exactly like redstone dust, but it is a block (can be pushed by pistons).

This allows transmitting power directly downwards in a 1x1 space, in a way that can be arranged by pistons. Jeb door equivalent can utilize these blocks to power the bottom pistons without having to go under the door.

Aside from help improve parity, this block would also be useful when building underwater contraptions and flying machines.

    Quasi connectivity should not be “patched” because it is already considered a feature in java edition. They should instead consider it for bedrock edition so we can all have better redstone

    Love the idea! One question though; How would we make java edition style redstone torch key mechanisms? We can only make them by powering redstone dust on a block above the torch currently
