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 over far distances

Redstone only works at a stationary to X amount of blocks so for example if I stayed in one spot and placed a long giant line on Redstone to one to let’s say 5000 blocks out with repeaters keep the Redstone on yes the Redstone would stay on the entire time but it would be shut off after a certain point because of the rendering distance for the Redstone I’m trying to build a mail system right now and my problem is that the Redstone will stay on the entire time but the minecart won’t go the entire distance because of two things the rendering distance for the minecart is too great so the minecart won’t travel the entire distance because your not in that area or inside or by that chunk of the map so it won’t travel the entire distance it needs to go to deliver the mail the other reason is bcuz the Redstone powering everything wont allow it to keep moving because the mine cart is stuck in that chunk so the way to fix this is to re write the code to allow minecarts and red stone or all other contraptions made with Redstone to continue to operate will your not in that chunk but then you would have the problem with people logging out of their world of realm would it still be active? No just re write the code to only work constantly while you are logged into the world or some else is logged into the world like a realm and that would make it lag in some cases in the world unless the build or Redstone is small or simple get back to me please at dabaxta14@gmail.com

    Your asking Mojang to rewrite the whole of the games code so that you can make a mail system? Yes, I would love my contraptions to be active even when I’m not near them, too. However, if every chunk with redstone in it was loaded all the time, the game would be extremely laggy for multiplayer servers.

    creepakilla24O1 has a point, but so does the OP.

    Many redstone contraptions break down if you willfully or accidentally move away. The simplest example would be a repeater clock, which usually powers or depowers itself permanently. Things like that do not happen in the Java edition - although I'm not sure, what's their solution - but it'd be appreciated if implemented similarly.

    Pretty sure this was in 1.12 or something and it was less laggy than 1.13
