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).

Bell as a redstone component

In my opinion, the bell should emit a redstone pulse when it is "hit".

I'm aware that just emitting a pulse when hit kind of duplicates with button + noteblock. So instead of adding a new look of buttons, let's go another way. I think that the bell should have a new Block State, ringing = [true/false]. An observer could detect the block state change of the bell and thus emits two redstone pulses, one when the bell starts ringing and one when it stops. If the player holds right click on the bell, spamming it, the bell will keep ringing and swinging, and the ringing state will stay true. That would be a very fun mechanic to work with.

    Maybe also ringing on a redstone input. This could create awesome mechanisms

    The only problem with this is that redstone activates bells already. Maybe what it should be is that it will only ring due to redstone if powered with a repeater, preventing possibly a game-breaking glitch.

    If you place an Observer output into a Bell and an Observer facing the Bell outputting to a Redstone Lamp, Observers can already detect the Bell being powered (thus ringing) as a state change, the tweak needed is to change the active state from Powered to Ringing, just like a Redstone Lamp has a Lit/Unlit state, and then having manually hitting it cause the same ringing state without powering any Redstone around it.

    TL:DR - State change = detectable, Powered = state change, Ringing =/= Powered & it should replace it.
