One word Redstone. Redstone is what makes machinery. Machinery needs power. Power in minecraft is levers, pressure plates, buttons, Redstone torches, and Redstone blocks. Does this seem realistic? No, it simply doesn't. There are mod packs such as Tekkit that enable this, but Tekkit is outdated. Also, one month ago, the new SimCity came out. Millions of people now play SimCity and Minecrafters are wondering this: Power, Sewage, and Water. Sewage and Water is a stupid idea right now. So, what about power? That's what we need you to decide. Please post this link on your signatures and spread the word!
And, how will this work? We would have a crafting recipe for Generators, Hydroelectric Generator, and a wind power turbine block that will turn to a big turbine. But, how would this connect? You would it up with Redstone as an output. And also, how would it work? Well, the Generators use coal or charcoal to convert to Watts. Also the hydroelectric generator requires water from a deposit. But the wind turbine depends on how high it is.
Herp derp support.
Redstone is about circuitry, not electricity. If redstone was electric-based, it would be extremely annoying, as using a button to power your TNT cannon would become having a power plant connect to it, and you having to repeatedly trun the powere plant on and off. If it was electric-based, this is the wrong awnser. If it was electricity, there would have to be two redstone lines, posotive and negative, and a lever or button would be a "break in the current" but, that is not how redstone functions. Redstoen will never be realistic, beacause it has no real-world counterpart. It is not electricity, and you must know that. Maybe if this was part of a "copper wiring" or "electricity" suggestion it would make sence. Also, when you said minecrafers were wondering powere, water, etc., they weren't.
Minecraft will most likely never have an entire rewrite of how redstone works, and this makes it realistic in no way at all. I HAVE SPOKEN.
I don't support. This would not fit in with the theme of Minecraft.
Agreed.Hey, who here thinks this topic will get locked within a day for being too short and vauge?

I have too slow an internet connection to be a lurk. If I wate time opening the page, I might as well reply.
Yes. Yes I do.
No support. Redstone is NOT electric, it is MAGICAL. There is a difference!
Agreed. Redstone is an entirely different concept then electricity, but I think it has a siencey explanation other than magic.

Minecraft could make an alternate electrical system, based on RedPower 2, Bluestone. Bluestone would work the same as redstone, except it transmits indefinitely and has to be generated through 1 of 4 sources: solar, similar to the Daylight Sensor, hydroelectric, through water, even standing water (tidal), fossil-fuel, similar to the Powered Minecart, and geothermal, powered by lava next to it, similarly to hydroelectric generators.
Bluestone charges would have to be generated through these sources for a more realistic electricity system, and bluestone wiring could charge creepers, but redstone integration (integration gate?) would be necessary for complex logic gates and pulsers. This system wouldn't disrupt existing TNT cannons, but newer items would be flowed through bluestone hardware and redstone software components.

I agree, but redstone should still be kept as a "software" component, to support logic in the new power system. The main reason? There shouldn't be any "infinite electricity" sources like redstone torches in the new power system, since that would defeat the purpose of the new system, but many logic gates depend on redstone torches. Introducing a separate system could reduce confusion.

That might have actually been cool... Radioactive mushrooms...
^^^This. This is awesome.
The quote, not the idea. Think of the trouble this would put on different redstoners, such as myself, hypixel, etc? Why should i need a power plant for my small piston door? Or my automated hopper furnace smelter thing?

Ever hear of something called running away? Its like running towards them, but without the confrontation and death.

Well, I imagine you would also be able to manufacture batteries or mobile generators, under this idea. It's still a bad idea, but it's not totally unworkable.
There is a reason why mods exist. Some things just don't belong in vanilla. Also Jeb stated that the game should not play for you. There are more important things that needs to be focused on in minecraft first.Unless you can describe your idea and it's mechanics in more detail in a way that fits and is balanced for minecraft I'm going to stay no support.

And on your bluestone Idea, That deserves it's own thread.
When I saw the title of this thread, I was hoping that you were going to introduce luminescent vegetation that radiates redstone power.
I was disappointed.
LOL, you should've realized that when this guy stole my "moar realisim" prefix, that this was about useless generators. And look, he already abandoned this thread.
Oh yes, guys, Idea: He said to spread the word, so shall we? :3

I personally believe it to be a neon compound. Which would explain why it doesn't exist in the world.
Beacause neon is a noble gas and does not bond with other chemicals...

tl;dr: IndustrialCraft2 and Red Power in vanilla.
