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 resistors

I know alot of people may not use very advanced redstone mechanics, but why not add the idea of resistors to redstone.

I'll make examples by using keys

, = powered restone

. = un-powered restone

# = Resisted block (for examples it's a wood of your choice)

_ = repeater

* = power source

The concept is a bit like real life resistors where electricity cant get as much electricity through it, this could be the case for redstone. there could be blocks that resist redstone more than others, like wood resists 10 redstone power levels through a block, and terracotta could resist 5 restone power levels E.T.C.

example:

*,,,_#,,,,,..........

If this could work, people would get round this by putting repeaters on the Receiving side, but i think that on the resisted blocks, redstone repeaters don't get that function

example:

*,,,#_.....

 

*,,,_#,,,,,..........

Also, redstone could just NOT power if its on a resisted block

example:

* . . .

#### (These are the blocks below the redstone)

 

 

Thanks, hope you like the idea!

    I like the idea, but you can already do this with comparators.

    this is actually really good idea just like how resistors actually work and you wouldn't have to make your Redstone like 30 blocks long in order to get the strength you want

    On one hand comparators with a side input can act as resistors but on the other, I like the idea of something more laterally compact than two or three blocks.
