Constant sound of droppers ticking and pistons pistoning can get very irritating, especially when working on big contraptions. My idea is an item called insulation, that could be used to mute redstone components and maybe even doors, pressure plates, levers etc. It's applied same way as waxing copper; right click the component with insulation, and remove it with shears/axe. Combining them in crafting works too.
very bad Concept art:
Insulation that looks like grilled cheese
Possible crafting recipe? This would give honeycombs a new purpose.
Amethyst blocks and crystals already have the property of being musical when you interact with them, i think it would be very fitting to give amethyst shards another use in this aspect
So I didn't receive a mass warning notification nor do I see it mentioned on the news but just received an email stating that Redstone will be closed tomorrow to non-essential personnel. Only Gate 9 will be open. Kind of unusual that this hasn't been mentioned on the news or social media.
Redstone is hard to see in the dark for some reason even when its triggered
If redstone components gave off light that would mean tons of lighting updates and that would mean lag, so no thats not what I'm suggesting.
But you know how spider eyes glow in the dark but dont give off light and dont cause lighting updates? I think redstone components should do the same.
Repeaters, comparators, etc: redstone torch ends get fullbright when triggered
Redstone dust: fullbright level based on power level. 100% fullbright for 100% power level, 50% fullbright for 50% power level, etc.
