Came up with three more while working. I'm really starting to want this idea to be added.

Clock
-Has no input and 4 outputs.
-At first when you place it down, nothing happens. But, when you right click it, it will open up a GUI like a command block's GUI. You input a number in the box. This is the number of ticks the clock is on for. Once you exit out of the GUI, the clock will turn on. It will output a pulse through all of its outputs every time another (Insert number entered in GUI here) ticks have passed, like a clock would.
Crafting Recipe:


Pulse Sustainer
-Has 1 input and 1 output.
-This one also has a GUI like a command block. You enter a number. This device will take the input, add the number of ticks specified to the length, not the strength, of the pulse and output it through the output side of the block, but keeping it at the same strength as the input.
Crafting Recipe:


Pulse Limiter
-Has 1 input and 1 output.
-This is exactly the same as the pulse sustainer, but instead subtracts the length of the pulse, rather then adding it.
Crafting Recipe:

Support.

Redstone is ALREADY functioning as a 0 tto /15 strength signal. It is just that many redstone devices are bonary with OFF defined as power 0, and ON defined as power 15 (output only) or "anything above zero" (for an input).

My problem with redstone is that it takes up a HUGE amount of space. It makes it impractical in most builds unless you like having 3 meters wide walls and 3 meters thick floors, which looks quite ugly.

Think of it this way: would you buy an iPad if it was 30 meter wide?

So maybe some of those ideas could be ok, bu not all. Too complicated for things we already can make other ways.

Darn it, I keep getting 502 errors:

Support except for:



Redstone Power Meter:
This would be rather hard to fit into a 16X16 texture. Also, it's rather pointless.
How is this Pointless? Explain. And, being a texture artist, i can tell you it is not. Even then, you could make an animated texture file for it, with each different frame having a different number on a "screen" showing the strength of the power.

Water Proof Redstone:
Now I know logic doesn't belong in minecraft, but even this is pushing it. Last time I checked, dust and electronic components are very easily washable. I know it's annoying when you derp with water, but this would just be over powered. And useless.
Actually, i tend to agree.

Dye-able Redstone:
Rather unnecessary, as you can just colour the block the dust is on. Plus it's a lot of extra code and texturing time better spent on other stuff, like optimizing minecraft, adding more slab and stair blocks, etc.
Did you even read the colored redstone wire section? its not for decoration, different color redstone wires don't connect.
Other than those, support.

Half support.

no, all of this seems to be un-nessacary. Your taking redstone as actual electricity. Redstone is alot more basic, it only has 2 states, on, and off. i do not support.

So does real circuits. This actually has a lot of uses. You just can't find them.

The quote's not showing, sorry.

1)I know about animated textures, but imagine trying to fit a number onto a 16X16 thing. Vanilla does have texture limits.

And, Mojang did the dial thing with compasses.

2)Yes I did read it, I didn't see the connectivity part though. Maybe it was edited after I posted?
Oh. Sorry
