This is the NEW wireless redstone
I havent seen it done this way before

[Xray_Doc]

Wow, this is a really nice concept! How did you come up with this idea? Also, you should make a video showing how this fully works (even though I know how it works).

[Skylinerw]

The main reason you've likely never seen it done that way is because it's not a survival-applicable method, since command blocks are creative-only. I guess the benefit of this method, though, is that its range is practically unlimited.

Good job, wouldn't have thought of that myself. I'd like to see something like this applied in adventure maps, tbh.

I love the concept, my OCD just can't deal with the fact that the player is being teleported. Ah well

[LukeZaz]

If it didn't require teleporting a player it would be perfect. Though Command Blocks ARE probably how this could be done. Food for thought.

well i have seen it done with fire and rules
can you change the day with command blocks? because that could work

I actually see a cleaner way to do this within render distance, but I'm not sure it's possible yet.

Instead of teleporting the player, you could have a stored entity used for the teleportation. Instead of naming the player in the @ command, you use the stored entity. This could be anything from a drone player to a specific NPC (if that is possible). Just have a 2x1 storage cell to hold it. All return commands would simply send the mob back to its storage cell, while the player is left unaffected.

Hmm, nice idea, kind of like regular hex's old nether messaging network.
I have a way to remove the player necessity, but it's really derpy.  Essentially you make a custom spawner for zombies with a big player detection radius (enough to include anyone using the machine).  put it in a dark area next to a redstone lamp.  If you pulse the lamp off, a zombie will spawn at the location and velocity that you choose, allowing you to fire a high-speed zombie in exactlly the right direction to land on a pressure plate, transmitting the signal.

Ive never experimented with custom mob spawners
is it a world edit function? or mc edit?

It can be done with MCEdit filters.  Not sure if you can do it with WE because I haven't used it for a long time.

You're not explaining how it works. How does it work?

There's a dummy player in the world and the redstone is attatched to a command block that teleports that specific player onto/off a pressure plate.
