There are just way too many things you need cheats to make, so I was thinking of some redstone ideas:
1. Block Rotator (clockwise and counter clockwise)
Rotates block once every time redstone is on. Imagine a dispenser shooting fireballs in 4 sides! (better usage in creative)
2. Redstone Input Block
You can right-click it and it opens a menu: it has 3 slots and you can insert quartz/gold. For every 2 quartz / 1 gold it gives more input into redstone, like a 5% chance of 20 more redstone inputs. 20% chance of 10 more input, 35% chance of 8, and else is 6. When the block is destroyed, the power is still in and you don't get the items until you check inside again. It works with hoppers. (better usage in survival)
3. Mashed Redstone Repeater
Two repeaters in one! It gets input from two sides and outputs redstone in the other two sides! This could be used if you don't have enough space (normal usage in both modes)
4. Redstone... Powerlight or something?
How cool would it be if there would be a light that could power all redstone wires in a 5-block spherical radius? Very! Imagine the usage-if you have a survival map with secret redstone - it can be power by light! Something also interesting would be if you could colour the lights, so it doesn't feel too suspicious, but instead decorative.... (better usage in creative)
5. Long Piston
With a starting point of 2 blocks high, the long piston would push more than a normal one. If you connect it to one wire, 2 blocks. Two - 3 blocks. Three - 5. Four - 10, and five - it extends until it has to stop. The way to use it isn't too practical, however I wanna see you try to think of something better. (better usage in creative)
Anyways, those are 5 ideas I've got to create new redstone blocks. Thanks for reading!

Hmm... Support unknown.

Why the hell would we need this? No Support

We can pass one wire over another, as Minecraft is 3D. No Support

We can already make pistons that push further that 1 block. No Support

#1 This sounds like an auto version of the debug stick or some of the wrench proposals: details are needed on how you propose to implement this idea… (the prior discussions should be illuminating)
#2 What is a 'redstone input'? Without this being clear, no meaningful comment is possible.
#3 This would not be a redstone repeater as it looses the locking mechanic available with input from the sides.
Renaming this a RS crossover would make its function clearer.
That said, the frequency of occasions on which this device would be useful seems fairly low: there are doubtless otherwise impossible builds it would enable, but in most instances I would think it was a mere convenience
#4 Under certain limited circumstances this could be very interesting, but the greifing potential of the item as described is, IMO, too high.
Adding a feature that only redstone dust (a redstone wire does not exist save as a way of describing linked RSD) previously 'attuned' to the broadcast redstone power [either broadcast RS generally, or a specific 'transmitter (either having its own advantages/disadvantages)] would allow most of the uses and (largely) eliminate the griefing potential.
#5 What is meant by "connect it to [number of] wires"? [My guess would be the number of sides from which the piston receives power, but that is a guess…]
Piston variants where the arm would extend more than a single block (essentially 1-block double or tripple extenders) might be quite interesting, but (like other compress_a_common_build_into_one_block proposals) need to make a compelling case for removing the need to be clever in building the device.
[The "extends until it has to stop" variant is right out, too many issues with render distance, lag, griefing (intentional as well as accidental), and being overpowered.]

WARNING: I have an extemely "grindy" playstyle; YMMV — if this doesn't seem fun to you, mine what you can from it & bin the rest.
1. Block Rotator (clockwise and counter clockwise)
If you're suggesting a turntable that, when powered from top or bottom would redirect a redstone signal out the side and vice versa, that would be very useful and I'll back that suggestion 100%. I'd expand on that and suggest that it can be manually rotated (once per button press) or rotate continuously with a lever. Also, depending on signal strength, would rotate at different speeds (RPM) or RPT (rotations per tick).
As for the other suggestions, I don't quite understand how they'd be used, however, I am always happy to see new redstone components.
