When you are making your redstone suggestions, please note that Java and Bedrock will not have the exact same the same redstone systems - this would require redoing redstone system completely on one platform or the other. The two systems are functionally different and are going to stay that way. Please be sure to tag your suggestions with (Java) or (Bedrock).

Redstone radiator

The redstone radiator is a block that will send a redstone signal to anything in a 7x7 range. This would be good for wireless redstone and easy-to-build smart houses. It also works as a hear or cooling source, as you can set it to heat mode where it will melt ice and snow, and also damages strays, or cooling mode which extinguished torches and freezes water. It also damages husks in this mode. The heat and cooling modes would be good for mob defense systems in the deserts or cold areas.

    Instead of that make a wireless redstone sender and a receiver where you can put them on different channels of frequencies

    So essentially bluetooth redstone. I like it.

    I would agree, but make it so that it can't both cool/heat and output a Redstone signal. It also should need a Redstone signal to output one, be slow doing its side-tasks, (like melting, freezing, or killing). Also, I feel that instead of the one being able to change between hot/cold/power, it should only be able to change between hot/power or cold/power depending on how you crafted it. The crafting recipes should be fairly expensive, and for my heater/cooler idea, the recipe could require blaze rods/powder for a "heater" and ice for a "cooler". There also could be a generic "sender" which cannot heat or cool, only transmit power. This could use something like Redstone blocks instead of the blaze/ice. Also, the idea of extinguishing torches... Isn't a favorite among the Minecraft community. It was going to be added early on, with lanterns as a never-dying equivalent, but never happened, and doubt it would happen for this idea. Maybe instead of that function, it will turn rain, within its range, into snow.

    I liked the Idea up until the mob damage and heating/cooling part. I think that would be a bit too overpowered, but the radiator is a good idea, but I think there should be a switch that you can toggle to control how much the output is, ranging from 0-5, like a repeater. The crafting recipe should look like this:

    Thats pretty cool idea

    I think emitter and receiver will be more useful, and the range should be higher, like 1-4 chunks with diminishing power the further receiver gets.

    Maybe a Reciever/Sender is better. Basically, how it would world is that the Sender is a block that can be hard or soft powered. It will link up with any Reciever within an 8^3 radius. Once linked, the only way to unlink is to break it. Whatever input the Sender gets will be transported to the Reciever. I would imagine that this could make things so much easier, especially in tight spots.

    While a cool and useful concept, I feel like this wouldn't allow certain redstone configurations to work correctly if they are still in range of the output radius but not intentionally connected.

    This would be cool but it shuold have to be receiving a redstone signal

    More possibilities to defend your home would be nice

    This is WAY to overpowered, it would entirely shift mob farms, and minecraft itself

    Make Redstone sender and receiver you pair it by sneaking and tapping on both blocks

    The pulse should not diminish but it costs you 30 xp to craft

    There should also be a block that can block the wireless signal (so you can make it only shoot the signal one direction)

    it would have to be very expensive... maybe a nether star could be included in the recipe? This would not be overpowered because it affects everything in all directions, making its use in redstone contraptions limited. However, it would have to not affect directly behind the radiator because any redstone powering the radiator would be constantly powered - creating a redstone clock.

    The heating and cooling is a bit strange, but the wireless redstone could be game changing

    Another idea for it would be that you have to build and use a receiver to pick us the signal

    And would this work in the nether and end?

    I like the wireless Redstone but that’s it.

    This will be useful for sabotage, if we can increase the range, then flying machines will not be a viable attack system anymore MWAHHAHA

    if it would be programmable, to activate selected blocks it would be awesome
