im proposing the idea of redstone blocks, and im also proposing them to have a use other than being easier to store.
see, many poeple have made CPUs, calqulators, and plenty of other redstone trinkets within the confounds of minecraft. all of these contraptions use binary code, which is a system of 1s and 0s telling a computer whether something is true or false.
now, to make redstone remember something as 1 is rather complicated, and what i propose will minimize the space used to make contraptions that require something like that.
what i propose, is that when a redstone block has a redstone current passed through it, it would turn ON, when it gets a current through that again, it would turn OFF, but it would also discharge the current through any wire that is connected to it.
so, if a redstone block has 4 wires on its north, south, west, and east end. if it got a current passed through its west part, it would turn on. when it got another current through it, it would turn off, but transmit current through the north, east, and south part.
i would love input, compliments, and constructive criticism.
and no, saying this idea sucks isnt constructive criticism, telling me why is constructive criticism.

Thumbs up if you didn't understand half of what he was saying!
im simply proposing to put in redstone blocks. like iron blocks or lapis lazuli blocks.
and redstone blocks hold a charge that has passed through them, which can later be used as a sort of memory.

alright, lemme try and slow myself down. i write too fast and thats probably the cause of you all having a hard time understanding what im saying.
redstone blocks are normally dull red, which means that they are not holding any power.
when a redstone block receives power from a redstone circuit, it will start glowing and keep glowing even when that redstone block isn't receiving power from a redstone circuit.
when that redstone block stops receiving power, it will stop glowing, and pass on its power to any other redstone wire around it.
IE: i flip a lever and it turns a redstone block on. i unflip the lever, then flip it again and a door that is connected to the redstone block opens.

If people aren't understanding, here's what I'm getting from what he's saying.
Say you have a redstone block. You send a small pulse to the block, nothing happens.
When you send it another pulse, it sends out a current. When you send it another pulse, it stops releasing a current.
So it takes two pules to turn on, then one pulse to turn off.

(Souro, am I right in this?)
everything but the last part. when a redstone block sends out a pulse, it turns off too.
thanks for helping me get my point out. smiley for you sir! :smile.gif:

the first pulse turns it on, the second pulse turns it off AND releases the current.

So two pulses per one pulse?
And is the pulse it releases equivalent to the length of the first pulse?
yea, basically what it does is that when redstone current passes through a redstone block, that redstone block holds it until another current passes through it.

Add this to the list of other Redstone ideas, oh, and by the way, if you have a hard time reading that, you probably have a hard time reading this too.
Anyhow, Redstone blocks are FAR overdue, the only thing stopping Notch from implementing one, is the surplus of many different ideas to make redstone blocks different from gold blocks and diamond blocks.

I'll raise my thumb to that.

on the other hand i suck with redstone soo.

So the third pulse resets it?
the first pulse turns it on, the second pulse turns it off AND releases the current.
