Better redstone repeaters (Java Edition)

Currently, Redstone repeaters can only delay a signal for a maximum of 4 in-game ticks, which means you need 5 repeaters to equal 1 second. This makes creating long delays a nightmare, especially for mapmakers like myself. I do not think Redstone repeaters should be changed, but would rather have a new Redstone component that is basically an upgraded form of the repeater. With this new component, you would be able to set a delay for a specific amount of time. You would do this by opening an interface and typing in a number, instead of tediously right-clicking. Now, I understand that this component could be too much for survival mode. If that's the case, it could be exclusive to creative mode much like the command block. All I know is that placing 300 repeaters for a 1-minute delay is NOT okay.

    You need just 150 repeaters for a 1minute delay cause repeaters delay is in redstone ticks(double as long as game ticks)

    You could make a hopper clock for longer delays.
