Remake the whole redstone mechanics

No Average players ever use Redstone system and it's just too much to understand. Without the Internet I don't the overall players would know how a hopper or redstone dust would work. I feel like more players would understand Minecraft if it had the redstone mechanic be more like real life electronics. Like red stone dust, is it a wire? why does it have a limit? Needs a redstone repeater? Why does the red power decline? Why do redstone dust be only on the floor? These are question players don't get no explanation and these rules don't really help the players to get into the redstone space. So making the redstone dust more like real life wires would make more sense. Example: redstone dust that crafted with strings (from spiders) to make red power lines. With no limits or declining its power. (you guys can make a power source box that transfers power with the wires to what it connects too or not and be like lever connects to door with our any power source). Getting ideas to put these wires between blocks Like wires inside walls of a house.This example here already gives the player understanding and rules because in real life they already know a basic concept of wires. I wish i can mod my ideas out but all I'm saying is to make Minecraft redstone mechanics be more like real life. This will also teach kids how to use redstone and build problem solving skills for the real world cause it was similar to real world electronics.

    I sometimes think like this. Despite being a fairly technical person, my limited redstone knowledge makes it so I can't do practically anything of interest with it unless I use an online tutorial. Even then, I don't know how the wizardry in the thing I made really works and it breaks in the next version anyway. I shouldn't have to know what "quasi connectivity" is.

    I don't know what a better system is given the requirements, though. Redstone is an attempt to use blocks to do things with blocks. In a blocky system, any "wires" must take up an entire block. That means sending a signal through the wall makes a huge hole in your wall. Any attempt to get around this will be similarly unintuitive or messy in the end.
