Ideas thread

Post by TaxiService » Sun Aug 28, 2011 4:17 am

Okay, uh, i'm creating this thread because we've gotta remember to tell Notch to make redstone cables dye-able. Different colored cables cannot connect to each others, so we'll be able to run parallel cable lines.

I guess that we could make differently coloured redstone torches too; they would be able to power only their colour type redstone cables. Red redstone (the natural occurring one) will, in fact, act as a standalone color. To make cables connect to each others the white colored redstone will act as a wildcard. White redstone torches will power all the other kinds too etc.



Now, if you guys have also some ideas i guess you can post them here to remember them, or just post them at minecraft forums, i guess? I just put this here as a reminder for me, actually. o_o But hey, how do you like this idea? If Notch doesn't develop this then i'll someday learn java and develop this myself. (If, yeah, i am still into minecraft and shit.)

I would like to be able to craft reins or a whip or something so that I can control a pig if I ride one. I think it would be really cool to be able to make fire works with a combination of glowstone dust, redstone dust, and gunpowder... ooh, or maybe... crafting recipe: top row middle, redstone dust, maybe colored if Taxi's idea went through, to make different colored fireworks. Second row middle, gunpowder. Bottom row middle, a stick, bottom row left or right, string for a fuse. Plant the firework in the ground where you want to launch it, then light it with flint and steel.

Ropes. Make drawbridges, grappling hooks, rappling, ziplines, etc. There was a mod for it somewhere.

Though the best place for this would be reddit, considering that Notch goes there himself.

EDIT: Mod source

A redstone block that is made in the same way as the Lapiz Lazuli block. Except this block acts as a power source. Like redstone torches, but they can be pushed by pistons. Think of the possibilities.

Oops not sure if this post got through but my OP was:

Uses of this may already be possible through complex redstone wiring. I'm not a redstone pro, but I'm okay at it. However this would be a great addition!

As soon as pistons were released and I realized you couldn't push torches, I was like "Y NOTCH?"

For one thing, it would make this a hell of a lot easier to reliably create.

I made a smaller scale which I think takes less wiring, but what I really want to find is one that takes less space in general. If it had a moving powerblock I think a pattern could be used. Each side would power redstone, and those wires would hit one of the two torches needed with the proper delay. Then it could just be patterned for every block forward.

Also worked on a piston-based transport system that pushes you. Minecarts are still preferable, really. Maybe if I flipped it on its side as an elevator, since thats where minecarts don't do well. Although even then a simple 4x4 shaft with powered rails works just fine... Pistons might be faster though. And more awesome-looking.

Take three seconds to make an account, press "submit link" on the left and select the text option at the top of the submission.

By the way, this was already proposed a couple months back.
