Redstone extended for Minecraft 1.8/1.9 updates I wish to let you guys know that i realize this is in the wrong forum. I know that some these ideas are next to useless but that is because i had a huge creative spike a while ago. I had tons of great ideas for redstone. I remembered a few of these and thought i should share them. The other stupid ideas are just fillers realy.
I don't know about the rest of th Minecraft community but i'm a bit tired of the same old redstone contraptions and machines. I purpose that Notch add extended redstone items, gadgets, tools(someting to help you with redstone, not a redstone pick), blocks, or even different types of stone(blue, green, yellow, etc).
A list of ideas
I don't mean for any of this to be made like Industrial Craft, or any other similar mods. I'm aware this is in the wrong forum.
1. Redstone block (Finally!)
2. Redstone powered light block
3. Redstone battery(Eccentially a compacted redstone crystal that you pop in a generator)
4. Engine powered by coal. Yes... it is useless
5. For people who like to create overly complicated things, a generator to power redstone. This would power redstone and make it so redstone power carries on for a longer period. No more having to use redstone repeaters to extend redstones reach.
6. Auto-powered minecart that can be controlled to go back and forth.
7. Trap chests
8. High powered redstone that hurts you at half a heart every 4 seconds. This could be used to power realy energy consuming machinery. Otherwise it's just like the engine.
9. Various redstone powered blocks such as the following: Furnace (Useless), Crafting table (Useless), powered minetrack that doesn't boost you, Iron trapdoor, Gates.
10. I'll put Suggestions in a list below this one.
Suggestions
I realy like to post peoples suggestions so PLEASE post some. I'll only take appropriate ones, tough.
1.(aattss) A wireless device of sorts. Not many details as of now.
2.(OFigmentO) A two-way redstone repeater device. Specially crafted to be two-way.
3.(Sven_The_Slayer) The redstone block should be able to power redstone gadgets by being right next to them or connected via redstone wires.

I want to Notch to see this. If a modder sees this first and is interested in making a mod including my ideas, i ask you to give me a little credit for it.
I will also change this post to make the ideas more clear. If you have trouble understanding a few of them let me know.
I was informed by a modder that he was thinking about making my ideas and other peoples' suggestions into a mod. Forum name is Chikincows. If you want to put in more suggestions I'll be happy to jot them down.
I beleive the topic got moved to the correct part of the forum now.
I'm now interested in enderpearl ideas. Any suggestions you guys have are great!

lol, just lol. modders would spend days or weeks making this, and you probably spent an hour or less making this list. GL on getting credit for small ideas
1. Redstone block (Finally!)
2. Redstone powered light block
3. Redstone battery
4. Engine powered by coal
5. For people who like to create overly complicated things, a generator to power redstone
6. Auto-powered mincart (One you can control)
7. Trap chests
8. High powered redstone that hurts you at half a heart every 4 seconds
9. Various redstone powered blocks such as the following: Furnace, Crafting table, powered minetrack that doesn't boost you, Iron trapdoor, Gates.
1. Only good Idea, another block of red color but stone-looking might be useful.
2. Pistons do the job.
3. redstone torches do the job.
4. engine for what?
5. redstone torches do that
6. what would the control be useful for? You can't go any other direction than the rails!
7. use your creativity. There are so many possibilities for traps right now!
8. what use?
9. works all fine without being powered/via pistons/existing.
so everything exept no. 1 is unesscecary and most probably won't be used, thus won't be made by notch/jeb or any modder.

Thanks for busting my balls man. Good job! Btw I posted this like 20 mins ago. I had a ton of smart ideas that i forgot. And #2? Wft man! I was trying to make redstone seem more like elecrity and have more use other than the uses we have today. And the generator idea was for people how think a power plant is a good idea. "Redstone torch do the job" Maybe some people don't like the look of a torch powering redstone. One last thing. The powered minetrack could be use for the controlable minecart or the powered minecart with more control than the one we have now.
The engine is just an idea i threw in there.
#9 Doesn't need the furnace or crafting table, but the minetrack, iron trapdoor, and gate are good ideas. Gates would be fences like for castles.
Edit: Plus. I'm throwing out ideas for Notch to add. He may see this topic and not care or think its a good idea. I don't realy care. I'm just trying to help redstone users.
lol, just lol. modders would spend days or weeks making this, and you probably spent an hour or less making this list. GL on getting credit for small ideas
Hence the word, "little". If a modder did see the ideas i was just asking if they could give me a LITTLE credit.
Thank you for pointing out the obvious. Why don't you move it then?
I have to appologize because i've recently been put in a bad mood.
Well you shouldn't bring a bad mood to a forum, it just leads to raging.
OT: I kinda like some of your ideas, but I've seen several of these ideas already made into mods. there are several mods with a redstone block (which in a functionality sense is half past useless since a torch basically does the exact same thing aside from the fact that torches burn out).

Thank you. I don't want to rage because i know it brings a bad feeling to a topic.
To tell you the truth... I added some of the ideas to jog my memory into remembering my other, realy good ideas. My goal for this is to create a more fun redstone experience.
I appologize for my previous behavior. I was just angry at the time because of some not-so-nice comments. And that day was rough. Forgive me for the rage.
I also want to let people know that i do realize the fact that some of the ideas suck. You can quote me on that.
I would personally hate for these things to be in vanilla, they all belong in overworked mods.
To me, Minecraft is about starting with very small and basic things, useless by themselves, but then turning them into huge, awesome works of art, be they scale replicas of the Kremlin, a CPU running Pong, or something that exists simply because it can.
Redstone is fine as it is. The only things redstone related that I would like added to minecraft are bugfixes (but even they are fun to exploit).
If, by some freak chance the usual nonsense I generate seems to help you, there's a nice shiny green + button to tell me that I'm doing the right thing

Some of these are just filler ideas. And I see that you don't realy even care for redstone according to your post. That fine with me and thank you for not insulting my ideas.
To be honest, I'd be happy with a simple 2 way redstone repeater. So many things I've built needed power to be able to flow boths ways... My selectable destination minecart station for one. It's based on the distance power travels down redstone dust. However if I extend it past 6 destinations, the system no longer works because part of the circuit can't come back down the line to reset the previous destination chosen.
I know there are work arounds for this, but it would make it so much easier to have a simple 2 way tunnel, so to speak.

Wow...Thats very detailed for a simple idea but yes i'll just put that in suggestions. Since i work with redstone as well, i have had problems with repeaters and that is an amazing yet simple idea.
But it would have to be a specially crafted one because the redstone repeater we have now is just one way and is used for a number of special contraptions. Very nice idea.
I would really like a redstone block that could power and be moved. I was trying to make a piston contraption but gave up because I would need to retract a piston and push a block that gives power into the position in order for the system to work

Hmm... I see what your going for... Yes like a block that could power a piston when moved. You could make a long chain of pistons and make them all powered by a push of a button without all the difficult piston moving mechanics. Suggestion earned!

2. Currently, redstone has unlimited power. This will break that
To me, Minecraft is about starting with very small and basic things, useless by themselves, but then turning them into huge, awesome works of art, be they scale replicas of the Kremlin, a CPU running Pong, or something that exists simply because it can.
Redstone is fine as it is. The only things redstone related that I would like added to minecraft are bugfixes (but even they are fun to exploit).
1. I understand this. I posted an edit a while ago. Please read the whole post before you make an observation.
2. I don't see how. Pistons would still be around and redstone's power wouldn't change. It will just add to it.
Some of these are just filler ideas. And I see that you don't realy even care for redstone according to your post. That fine with me and thank you for not insulting my ideas.
Anyway, you should add something wireless, to prevent lag and such.
The redsone "batteries" would actually be like a compact redstone crystal to power the generator.
And yes a wireless device seems like a good idea.
I know there are work arounds for this, but it would make it so much easier to have a simple 2 way tunnel, so to speak.
