Parity means making features behave consistently across different Minecraft editions, most commonly between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Use this category to discuss released features that exist in both versions of the game but work differently. Please note that bugs are not parity issues and should be reported separately.

Add a toggle to enable Java redstone on Bedrock

One of the parity issues between Java and Bedrock is the redstone mechanics. There might be some issues that could arise from simply changing Bedrock's redstone to match Java's altogether, but it could be possible for Bedrock to have both its current redstone system and the Java redstone system for players to choose. This could be achieved via a toggle in the world settings similar to the Education Edition toggle that would determine whether a world uses Bedrock redstone or Java redstone.

    It would just be easier to add java redstone.

    It's easier, a lot more consistent and no one really likes bedrock redstone

    You know this is really smart. This way we won't have to relearn redstone.

    I've had the same thought for quite some time! Because imagine all the Bedrock players who have seen a really cool redstone creation and decided to build it for themselves, only for it to malfunction completely despite following the design perfectly! After hours of questioning their work, they finally realize the problem:
    It was built in Java edition.

    I feel like the simplest solution is to add a game setting to choose between Bedrock redstone mechanics and Java redstone mechanics (i.e. Quasi connectivity). That way, Bedrock players can finally create all of the redstone machines and devices that Java players have used for the longest time, while experts in Bedrock redstone can keep using the system they're most familiar with and assure that all their past creations will work just fine.

    I think Java players should also have the option to switch between redstone mechanics if they wanted to. The option shouldn't be considered a cheat, as it wouldn't be fair to deny survival players of any platform the redstone system they desire.
