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).

Skulk Sensor Improvements

Hi Mojang Developers and Creators - 

 

I have had some ideas about how to improve the skulk sensor.  The current way the skulk sensor is set up is limited to redstone creators, as it senses all sounds, and cannot be controlled.  My ideas are as follows.

  • Surrounding the skulk sensor in copper ore (a new ore coming to 1.17, for those of you that don't know) in the crafting table would create a "Directed Skulk Sensor."  Right clicking the skulk sensor would result in a pop up like in a crafting table or beacon.  From there you would be able to choose what sounds you wanted the the Directed skulk sensor to put a red stone output for.  Like the beacon, this could cost an ore (maybe copper), like a beacon, to allow the new settings.
  • For the graphics of the "Directed Skulk Sensor" I though it could be like a glistering skulk sensor (much like the glistening melons.)
  • This would also be another use for copper, which only has three (as far as I know of) uses, which are the telescope, lightning rod, and the copper blocks. 

These are currently the main ideas I have for revising the skulk sensor,  And if I come up with any more, I will edit this post if possible, or create a new post.  I feel that the skulk sensor is already a big deal to the redstone community, but with these revisions, I feel that this could be the biggest redstone update in the history of Minecraft.  Please let me know if you take this input for the 1.17 update.

 

Sincerely,

    Mojang:  If you could let me know if you use this information in the 1.17 update, it would be greatly appreciated.  I have been a fan of Minecraft since I was three years old.  I have always wanted to make a contribution to minecraft, though I have never felt that anyone would care enough to read it and take it seriously.

    Please make sure to vote  this post, so Minecraft Developers and Creators will be able to see it, and hopefully add these ideas to the 1.17 update.

    The problem with this is that the lore of the Sculk Sensor describes that it is actually a living creature. Probably wouldn't coat a living thing with copper, now would you...

    FanaticPlane762, you have a very good point.  What if we coated the Skulk sensor in Uranium or something, and then it would be a radioactive skulk sensor.  Maybe we would fill a cauldron with uranium, and then drop it in the cauldron
