Name: Redstone Regulator
1st: no this wouldnt change existing redstone without it.
2nd: this would be a gui based item.
3rd: we really dont have exclusives or blocks on 360, we are severely limited and no one apparently cares. So this would help a lot of redstone people as we dont have pc mods, we dont want to buy a pc, and etc. So dont even suggest them or say anything pc comment, its for 360, possibly one ONLY!!!
4Th: It would be for 360/One only as we wont see command blocks or elytra in any years to come.
5Th: how does this fit minecraft per say realisticly?
Basically there is a voltage regulator in real life circuits that regulate voltage(power) in areas, i know im not exactly right there but for the idea at least would be right along redstone which is a rudimentary of electricity ir powdered electricity from my view.
6Th: 360/One cant handle this? Actually, it can, doesnt lag though granted i tested it using repeaters making one tick delays up to 100 blocks, but it actually could or those redstone computers wouldnt work very well. Redstone only lags when everything is active, always on. I make pop-off doors to prove this. Make all your redstone remain off even when closed, pistons retracted, etc. It’ll save a lot of stress on your system plus it looks nice. -
7th: The whole thing is iron and stone. So the torch would only be moving when on as its wood and Redstone dust when its on.
Now, that is out of the way, lets get with it.
Design: looks like redstone comparator except when placed, it has a circle that starts turning when on- i’e regulating the redstone.
Redstone Regulator Off
Redstone Regulator On - Torch lit & moving with blue arrows constantly till off
Output is in front of torch & on both sides. Input for power is behind the torch, similar to comparator
Mechanism:
Gui 1: asks if you want power to be instant wherever the output of redstone goes or delayed by 1 to 100 ticks.
Gui 2: delay setting for above via scroll bar
Gui 3: Unlike repeaters and comparators, this gui would let you set the output of the redstone signal to travel from just 1 to 100 blocks away. It is defaulted to 0 or does nothing till you activate the gui. A scroll bar saying 0 to 100 signal strength.
Ex:
Lever down. Regulator in front. Redstone dust out the other end up to 1 to 100 blocks away. You open the gui, set it to 100 power and instant on. You flip the lever and piston a 100 blocks away is on just like a 0-tick but remains on.
Now repeat above but change settings, put 100 delay on 1 signal strength.
Now when lever is pushed, it will take a 100 seconds to power the piston one block away. You add any dust after that one signal you wont have power.
Crafting
This may need tweaking, but i’ll let you decide.
This would bring redstone on 360|One up to par or advance it pass the pc and for once, just once make a lot of people happy.
If you are a pc moddder and want to make this as a mod, go ahead just please give me credit for idea and link it. Thank you.
Lastly, if you didn’t understand any of this, I apologize.
What do you guys think for this, would it be a nice addition to xbox console?
