If you want Mojang to listen, we need mumbo to post about his doors. He should do a 100 broken doors video.

[ameliajales]

Holy- the fact Minecarts can actually
Jump now means that we can make artillery with TNT minecarts.

[hailsse]

they broke all 0-tick piston doors by this update

[legojoker]

I think Mumbojumbo had the best discussion regarding QC. If they added an immovable transparent block, no one would care about this singular QC change, and hopefully it would help decrease lag since now every dust wouldn’t necessarily lead to several extra block update checks.

[colediepasta]

Fun fact in Mojangs offical redstone book they show how to do a slab tower so they are now lying

[kleine.kleeblatt]

QC stands for quasi-connectivity, btw. Since this guy has been so immersed in redstone for so long that the need to explain it never even occurred to him

"Mojang knows better"
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST the whole reason why snapshots exist at all in the first place is to get community feedback!

[PHyN]

Some Player: "Minecraft redstone are soo weird."
Mojang: "wait, you're right. Let US introduce RANDOMNESS."

[DylanLCutshall]

I'm still pissed at Mojang for robbing us the universally beloved copper bulbs.

[Mr.Brothybear]

Wait, The fact that Minecarts Fly now means that Yellow's Stunt Jump at the End of the rollercoaster would've actually worked

[iris_drawssandwiches]

12:22 Mojang knows that they don't know better. Like that's why they have no planed time to do this update because they need feedback

[syrez]

If they ever make this an official update I'm gonna bet someone will make a mod that lets Redstone work as it is like in older versions.

[epsilon]

seems like they just wanted to get rid of inconsistencies and "bugs", although it had the consequence of breaking any contraptions that relied on those bugs

[Perfectn]

5:44 this is honestly the best thing mojang has ever done

[harrylane]

Players: “we want more blocks, mobs, biomes, and ways to play the game!”
Mojang: what if none of your automatic doors worked properly anymore

[scrapbotcommander]

The comment of "Now try making a new one and see that it's much easier and logical now" would be like if the Mojang devs came in to work one day to find a sticky note that says:

"From now on Minecraft: Java Edition runs on Python code. We also broke your old java code in the transfer process, but don't worry, re-writing it in python will be easier and so much more logical!"

[GwnTim]

"Just fix your stuff"
I just broke all your pencils, now draw the mona Lisa
"But it makes rs easier, more people will do it now!"
It makes understanding redstone easier, it makes redstone itself harder because there's less ways to power stuff
"Mojang knows better"
Yup, that's why they litterally asked for feedback this snapshot

[blaz]

General principle taken from computer science that some of these redstone changes violate: backwards-compatibility. If you are gonna break it, you better have a really good reason and no acceptable alternatives, or you’re going to piss off your users. Redstoners are the Minecraft community’s version of computer programmers, so a lot of the principles of CS development apply to it.

A related principle Mojang devs should keep in mind when making changes to red stone: in the words of Linus Torvolds “a bug that people rely on isn’t a bug, it’s a feature”. Quasi-connectivity is a perfect example of that principle.

[ScrambledAndBenedict]

"Hey can we have controllers in Java yet?"
"Best we can do is break a ton of redstone contraptions."

[Loolguay]

remember this is an experimental feature not the actual snapshot

Edit: this comment purpose IS for the community to not be alarmed because experiments either take a long time to get in the Game or get discarted
