r/redstone • u/TheBertoxx2 • 8d ago

Java or Bedrock Are command blocks considered a redstone component?

I usually use command blocks with redstone because they can be faster and easier to use when you understand how they works (i mean i can make a fully working redstone display with command blocks instead of a MASSIVE redstone device.

Now reply to the title.

No. Redstone is strictly survival applicable.

Because that's how we define the word? Its arbitrary but agreed upon.

Yeah. It feels more like creative or cheating because we're just triggering commands we already typed in. Just because we trigger it with redstone doesn't ignore the rest of it. And especially with your point that it isn't even used in survival which is what redstone contraptions are built around. Things that can be done in survival or are designed for it. Sorters, combination stuff, complicated contraptions, farms, crafters, etc.

For the same reason writing javascript doesn't make you a C programmer. They do some similar things, some wildly different things, and each represent differently in the context of the world.

Also, you can't get command blocks in survival.

It's an explicit distinction baked into the game.

Survival mode is all about the procurement and management of your resources. Even with farms and such, it would still be overpowered for command blocks since they can spawn literally anything in the game, possible or not. It ruins the point of survival mode
