Revert Change to Chains or Add Alternative

The change to chains in the Bedrock 26.50.25 Preview is very problematic for many players. The treatment of chains as a solid block (which was carried through to the copper chains when they were added) is relied on by players frequently for the unique property. Specifically, the mechanic we rely on most is the ability for comparators to read inventories through chains. This mechanic has been around for many years, since chains were first added in 1.16, and that amount of time has allowed technical players to design hundreds (and build thousands) of mechanisms that rely on chains being treated as a solid block. Were this change to continue to stable, it would cause all of those designs to break.

The properties found in chains are irreplaceable by any other block (especially the fact that they are a partial block). Without an alternative, players also lose the ability to fix their existing designs, forcing them to build often worse ones that do not rely on this mechanic.

Edit: This post has gained a lot of attention, and there is a concerning amount of angry or outright threatening responses. Please, only chip in if you have something constructive to say. No one gains anything by hate!

    If an organization gets disconnected from the people, it's bound to fail.

    If Mojang doesn't learn its lesson, every player in our community will make sure you do！

    Since you didn't really think about its function when you designed the mechanism, and in the end you had to change it, it caused thousands of players' efforts in the game to go to waste. Today we're only talking about the issues with iron chains and copper chains. As long as you don't make this change, everything's still fine. But if not, you'll have to face a new storm of public opinion, a people's storm made up of millions of community players. This is not a threat, but an inevitability that history has proven countless times. If Mojang refuses to even acknowledge historical facts, then what reason do we have to let those who are ideologically incapable of serving the people serve the players?

    Our demands are very clear, DO NOT MAKE THIS CHANGE.

    I've already put it very tactfully. If you really do make this fxxking change, I will intensify my firepower and criticize thoroughly and denounce utterly you bourgeois reactionaries(“批倒批臭”)

    Without doubt, this update will strike a blow against the inventory‑industry community and machines in Bedrock Edition. Fixing this issue would suppress players' creativity, and it will make the Bedrock redstone community’s work even more challenging. This is especially true considering that development on such machines in Java Edition is far more advanced than in Bedrock Edition. It is believed that our energetic communities are very important to the game. So please think more thoroughly, and we would very happy if you could take advice from players.

    链条被视为固体方块、允许比较器透过它读取容器，这个机制已经存在多年，很多技术设计都依赖它。直接改动会导致大量装置失效，而且没有其他方块能替代。希望官方能回退这个改动。
    I completely agree. Chains being treated as a solid block and allowing comparators to read containers through them has been a mechanic for years, and many technical designs rely on it. Changing it directly would break a huge number of builds, and no other block can replace this behavior.（translate by AI）

    If a game is not intended for leisure and pleasure, but waste the leisure time of players who also have busy studies and works out of gaming, then it is a bad game that makes no sense.

    ojng 如果你改的话，你就真成ojng了
    本来没有个刷TNT机就已经够气恼了
    你再让我们的其他机器报废的话我和你没完
    If you make this change, you’ll really become ojng.
    We were already frustrated enough without the TNT duping machine.
    If you break our other redstone machines too, I will not let this go.

    说真的，作为基岩版玩家，这个修改造成的负面影响我认为是非常大的 ，修改它没有任何意义而且会使在它基础上的很多机器直接炸掉
    原来的机制真的很不错
    我们已经失去了很多优秀性质了，留下这个基岩版特性吧

    说句实在的，我也知道建筑党可能需要链条坐垫，但是问题在于我们也需要视为完整方块的不完整方块
    视为完整方块的链条对整个红石电路的贡献是极大的分类设计完善，你要似了我去哪找
