Blackstone pistons without QC (Java Edition)

I was working a lot on piston doors lately and ran into the same issue several times. I wanted to place a piston somewere but couldn't because of QC powering it in unintended ways.

I suggest that the piston variant crafted with blackstone acts like a normal piston but does not react to QC. This choice of the piston having QC or not, would give the player more freedom and gives the new players a more "logical" piston to start with.

I guess most Java redstoners will agree that QC is usually very helpfull, but mildly frustrating sometimes.

    True, but it's extremely useful. Look at the redstone builds in general: Most of them are in some way or another QC powered.

    Small dropper clocks, piston doors and so on.

    Actually QC is considered a feature in the Java edition as the bug tracker for it says "Works as intended"

    Maybe a toggle could be made on normal redstone compoents to change between QC and non QC powering, similar to how the red dot on comparators changes modes on thar
