More structures with redstone features.

Redstone is a really underused part of minecraft. I think that, at least the structures in the game should make better use of it, mostly in the form of traps in structures.

For example, desert temples are common structures and they use some redstone, but they use redstone poorly and simply.

If you changed it slightly to use more interesting or dangerous traps, or puzzles, it would be much better. 

1) There could change chests to trapped chests and remove the very obvious and avoidable pressure plates, 

2) perhaps, in the central tunnel leading down, you could have some trip wires and potion/arrow dispensers,

3) you could also have a puzzle, like the jungle temples, but more unique, that reveals a staircase down to the chest area, or a secret chest.

There are other ways to make the structure more interesting in terms of redstone, and there are a lot of structures which could use extra redstone.

Villagers especially come to mind, as they are supposedly getting smarter in 1.14. Perhaps you could add dispensers by the job areas, like the farm or the docks for fishing, to dispense tools to the villagers working there.

These are just examples, as there are many possibilities for upgrading structures with redstone.

  I'd love to wander into a massive dungeon or labyrinth run by redstone traps & pistons cutting off paths while creating new ones.

  That's a perfect example of how redstone, used creatively can provide an unprecedented challenge, in the sense that inside the game, it's a unique puzzle. Also, it does sound quite fun to have a dynamic structure like that with twists and turns.

  I just recently started using Redstone, I started looking in naturally generated structures to see if I could find out about Redstone but sadly only the jungle temple had redstone and it was all basic. If you’re looking in naturally generated structures for building tips you can find them in every naturally generated structure, I think it would be cool if it was the same case for redstone.
