[Suggestion] Redstone Randomizer

As of current, randomizer circuits are bulky, and expensive, as well as annoyingly difficult to set up in survival, while their potential applications are pretty high. I think it'd be great if we could add a new block, like the Redstone Repeater and the Redstone Comparator, that will accept an input from the south of it, and then roll 1 through 3, to determine if it outputs on from the north, the west, or the east side of the block.

It'd be pretty compact, and could promote new redstone contraptions that normally would've been too bulky to be practical. I've even mocked up some models that could be used as inspiration.

Off:

Output (North):

Output (West):

Output (East):

I haven't made the middle bit light up yet, mostly because I'm not 100% sure how to go about it, but I think this gets the idea across pretty well.

    It is a good idea but the best uses would be?

    Good idea man, I was just about to suggest this but then I saw your post, so I instead voted for it. Keep up the good ideas!

    I really hope Minecraft puts this in because the Redstone randomizers would be so much easier

    I always thought minecraft needed randomizers... I was going to make a suggestion, but you already did it!

    This would be so helpful for making randomized minigames in survival. Imagine you wanted to make a random dungeon layout or just add some random element to things. Right now the random circuit invovles a dropper, a hopper, a non-stackable item, a stackable item, and a long stretch of redstone dust with repeaters and redstone torches, and it only has 2 outputs! This would make life so much better and have an additional output too! Mojang should really consider this.

    I was about to post this idea, but saw someone else already did. I can’t believe this hasn’t been added already! I voted for this the second I saw it

    The current redstone randomizers are extremely small. However, this would add a way to get 1 in 3 randomization.

    There could be an inverted version.
