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 Based Crafting

Currently there is no way to automatically craft items in minecraft and most suggestions about it are either very overpowered or do not fit minecraft's theme so I think that a redstone based crafting system should be added where you can use hoppers to input items into the crafting table and it would fill up like a normal storage block, you would have to dispense the items into the crafting table in the correct order so that the recipe is correct and then when you have the correct recipe in the crafting table you could unlock a hopper underneath the table allowing the crafted item to flow out.

I think automated crafting like this should be added because it is not overpowered and it would massively improve automation and allow things to be farmed which would have been impossible before adding this.

    Although I don't despise your idea, I do think that automation isn't everything. If you can automate everything then there's nothing to do and there's no point in playing the game.

    That is true however this wouldn't automate everything because only certain items are currently farmable and other things still need to be manually mined. Crafting lots of the same thing over and over again is quite boring and by automatic crafting being added it would just save you from doing a boring task so that you can focus on the more exciting things. Another thing is that this type of automatic crafting would require huge machines depending on what item you are making so it would take an extremely long time to make an autocrafter for each item, most people would just use it for turning iron ingots into iron blocks to save space in their iron farm while some of the more technical players could dive deeper into this system and create autocrafters for advanced recipes that they use quite often.
