Redstone Fix

Redstone in Minecraft is a very important part of the game. But in order for it to be useful, it needs to be usable. I think that Java edition redstone needs to be brought back to reality, and what I mean are all the "bugs" that are utilized as features. Redstone signals going through transparent blocks, BUD powering, and many other things are glitches that were utilized so much, they weren't removed. But I think that this fascinating system could be a bit more fascinating if it made sense. So I propose that these "glitches" be removed, and maybe there could even be a tweak to sort of keep them in.

    As I understand it, Java redstone is the definitive redstone system. Last I heard, Bedrock redstone is inconsistent, making it difficult to work with, despite not having some of the same glitches.

    They'd also probably have to add a lot of new stuff just to bring back the potential they'd lose by removing all these quirks. Flying machines aren't even possible in Bedrock.

    No, you just have to get both versions to get all the features. I have experimented with the “bugs”, and they can make sense! Think of it this way: on 1 tick pulses sticky pistons spit out their blocks because the speed of the pulse causes the slime to temporarily deform, thus not being able to retract the block.

    I don't know what you mean by redstone going "through transparent blocks". It doesn't, but whatever.

    As for BUD powering, it wasn't removed, because the community spoke up and pointed out that BUD powering makes things possible that wouldn't otherwise be possible. The system makes sense if you care to learn it, but if you don't redstone will still work fine for you. Removing it now would be going backwards in redstone capability for literally no benefit.
