Okay, I tried suggesting this earlier, but I put it in a form that looked stupid and was soon attacked by people fed up with stupid suggestions and trolls. So, I'l try this again and try to be more coherent.
I notice whenever anyone shows a picture or a video of a Redstone circuit, all I notice is the tangled mess of redstone dust and levers and torches that I really can't tell what it does. Plus, it's clumsy and large. So, to further compact the circuit and make it more aesthetically pleasing, I suggest one of two things:
1. Make gates (AND, OR, XOR, NOT, etc) and Clock Generators craftable so they fit on one block
2. Make a special crafting table that you can use to build the whole circuit and then have the end result be a one or two block "redstone microprocessor" of sorts (that you can edit later, of course)
I think that either of these suggestions would make the whole redstone circuit thing much more appealing. Especially the second one. But the first one is a good idea too (IMO; of course, we'll see how well that stands once it reaches judgement), and it also has the plus of keeping some of the original Minecraft feel.
well i do want a smaller scaled logic gate. but making it to break off to it's right line just like a repeater, it could point the directions of the right way, such as the AND or OR, ect this would be great and nice to have.

I approve of your imagination Ever Free Forest The clouds move... all on their own
Honestly I don't use redstone that much, so I can only give my input as a redstone beginner. I would like it if you could point redstone in a direction to power and item. While I was trying to make a gate with 3 pistons I found it to be a big mess to power the middle one.
I was thinking about this moments ago; i come here to post it when i saw that poll >.>
I thought even about how to make it.
I tried a month ago a great mod called "buildcraft". With that mod you can automate item cration and extraction using pipelines and diggers to mine and automate everything. The point i wanna get is the item called "diamond pipe"; that pipe have a colored gui inside it; each color is a side of the cube and on each side have 'n' slots; in these slots you can put 1 item per type (so no entire stacks; you can't use 'em as containers) they're just for item recognition. When a item passes thru it gets sorted to the right direction based on the items you putted inside; no sorting = go straight.
That system can use a similar interface; think about this: circuit simulator is in java.
What if we can "integrate" it in minecraft?
For the one that do not knows it: circuit simulator is a redstone system simulator.
A block with a 20X20 multi-level gui; in that gui you can put redstone wirings/reps/torches and single wool blocks (for gates); each side of the redstone chip have a color (like the diamond pipe) putting at the end/start of the circuit created inside that guy the right colored wool blocks (so six colors that can be green, blue, red, orange, black and yellow; more common ones) they will "bind" to the cube sides and connect like there's a full extended circuit.
as this you need the same amount of resources but less space is waste. :smile.gif:
the guys that make INFbit ALUs will love something like this i think :smile.gif:
Less kmters of redstone around ^^
useful too for people that like a house full of gadgets like me ^^
usually i fill in 30 passages to 30 secret areas; house defence system, nethergate suffocate sprinkler system to kill ghasts...
And usually everything is compressed into a 20X20X20 area. is easy to understand that something like this will help ppl that love compact things like me a lot ^^
Exactly! I was thinking of something where you enter like a blueprint room where you can build the whole circuit (just as if you were doing it in the real world) and when you're happy with what you want, you exit with a one block circuit board in your inventory which you can later edit or something. But either way works; I'm just always turned away from making redstone circuits due to how much space they require. Any system implemented that can reduce the size of it will make me happy.
But yes, I can see how this would be implemented, since Minecraft runs off of Java anyway (right? Fact check). Excellent idea! I love it.
There is a mod , no it is not a mod... its like a redstone simulator obviusly based in minecraft... you can place the redstone and will be almost the same as redstone is in the game , but it has features that will make it shorter , really short , it is a simulator that use chips and in the chip you place the redstone and then you can use it for what you want...
It has stuff like inputs , obviusly like redstone torches , levers , you place redstone , connect it to an output , and it would work almost as if it is minecraft...
Also it has some kind of network to make you able to get chips of other people , like if you want an engine to make a calculator you can take them for it....
After some minutes looking for it , here you got it :
As i said before its not exactly like minecraft , it uses redstone and all that stuff but in some ways it acts different and limits a little but its really useful... and after making the chip tha twill make work all that , it will be easier to make it on minecraft because now you got the " idea " of how to do it...

Hm, very intriguing. I was looking for more of an "official update" sorta thing, but this is a great start for Notch (if he ever were to implement it). I'm kinda iffy on relying on mods as I would rather have most of them in the game itself. But yeah, this is a great holdover.
