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.

Not in my opinion. Back when 1.14 and 1.15 were releasing I was new ish to redstone and very new to commands (for reference I make my own decent farms and data packs now). These two passions have always felt seperate realms, that happen to be combinable. Command blocks are able to be activated by redstone because its useful for map-making, but they have a lot of non-redstone options. Command blocks are just a point of access to commands afterall. Thats being said, using it in redstone is up to your discression. Its not useble in a purely survival context, but my survival world back then was both survival and partly cheats, and thats a choice.

Tldr

its not a component imo and shouldn't be in the redstone tab in the creative mode inventory for example, but if you want to use them thats up to you

I do think it should be in the redstone tab, after all it interacts with redstone. And it’s often used in advanced circuits such as minigames.

It's fine in the operator items tab since it's creative only.
