weel i think that there should be differant ways to speed up the sprouting of sapplings and this acctualy soulds like a good idea but the redstone current has to be below it so like a torch under the dirt block super charges it and makes it grow faster
Hmm not a bad idea... I'd make it a lil different by making redstone remove the time a tree takes to grow by 5 seconds every time a signal goes from a negative edge to a positive edge.
Also how will you stop players from just placing a lever near the tree, or place a sapling on a block of dirt that has a button on the side.
As levers and buttons emit a redstone signal and all it would take was a piece of cobble and a stick or 2 smooth stone for a button, no redstone involved.
Kinda negates your ideas purpose for giving redstone more uses, as people will just use the easy cheaper method to get wood fast (lol).
How will you stop people from exploiting this?
Then again there is no real need for this as trees are already quite plentiful. But redstone automated tree farms sound cool!
kinda like how you cant do that with a note block mabye it would be for apple trees so like you have to make the dirt fertile before its able to be used for apple trees
