    Suggestion: The ability to use signs to process various redstone logic gates.

    Reason: Certain logic gates are way too big without using pistons, which are disabled on ECC. The ability to make those logic gates work with signs would cut down the size and the lag, so greater, more complex redstone builds will be possible on ECC.

    Any Other Information: This might be a good thing to add as a donation feature. Either plopped in with ext. creations/+ or as its own donation. I vote that if it be its own donation, it be named the "redstone wizard" donation. Should this suggestion go through, I will make a complex tic-tac-toe board for ECC :D

    Link To This Plugin: I looked around for a plugin but I couldn't find anything. I'm probably just bad at searching because I'm pretty sure I've seen this before.

    This suggestion comes up every so often. Kuke at one point was going to, or did work on, something like this in the past I believe.

    You can activate ext signs with a redstone signal, but that doesn't seem to mesh well with our trade sign plug in. While a cool feature, I just have no idea if anyone would be able to code it all, and get it approved to be added.

    Most redstone plugins are excessively laggy.
    Redstone in general can cause a lot of lag, i remember when it was possible to crash a server with just 4 redstone quick clocks and a noise machine.

    As for redstone triggering trade signs, this will never be supported, it is hard to work out who actually set a circuit flowing. For example: if you shoot an arrow at a zombie, and as it dies it drops some meat onto a pressure plate, thats connected to a trade sign... how is the server supposed to know the chain of events that caused the redstone behind the sign to turn on?

    Oh I'd never suggest a redstone triggered trade sign ._. I was thinking like you'd make a sign and put [tflipflop] and it's would act like one without having to do all the redstone work that would normally come of making a Tflipflop logic gate. It really is too bad more can't be done with redstone on server, but I understand lag being an issue.
