 Description   

I placed a redstonetorch on the side of a powered block (which creates a 1-tick pulse) and I expected both redstonetorches on the top to give a pulse
But instead only 1 of the redstonetorches gave a signal. (2 redstoneticks) The other torch did not give a pulse.

How to reproduce:
1. Build the setup from the picture.
2. Make sure that the lever is activated
3. Place the redstonetorch I am pointing at in the picture at the side of the block with the lever.
4. Notice that only 1 of the torches gives a signal.

Suggestion:
Making redstonetorches so that
a 1 tick pulse will output a 1 tick pulse
a 2 tick pulse will output a 2 tick pulse
a 3 tick pulse will output a 3 tick pulse
etc.

the title is also misleading, since torches can be activated with 2 tick pulses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjzuJqWAPFQ

Dupe of MC-2340

Comment by jules l [ 10/Dec/16 ]

confirmed in 1.11

Comment by [Mod] Michael Wobst [ 20/Oct/16 ]

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (i.e. 1.10.2, or 16w42a (untestable due to MC-108897, try 16w41a instead)) of Minecraft?

Comment by Chris [ 13/Jul/14 ]

This bug does still occur in 14w28b. I wonder why our results are different, maybe it has something to do with coordinatedependency.

Comment by Andrew Thomas [ 10/Jul/14 ]

Although it is delayed, it seems to be fixed in 14w28b. Both parts ended in the same state.

Comment by Christopher Martin [ 03/Jul/14 ]

I had to make a world to confirm this under 14w27b. Please find it attached.

Note - the original bug post picture does not look the same under 14w27b as there is a separate bug affecting the appearance of Repeaters, making the settings appear reversed (1 is 4, 3 is 2, etc).

Again, I must wonder what the special case is for two tick pulses.

Comment by Christopher Martin [ 28/Jun/14 ]

I wonder what it is about 2 tick pulses that makes them so peculiar. If you look at MC-51662 and MC-46225 there are weird two tick interactions there as well.

Comment by Chris [ 20/Jun/14 ]

Christopher, it's easier to build the setup from the picture then to download a world that contains it. MC-56541 got fixed so quickly because it was uploaded by a popular youtuber who asked the viewers to vote on the bug.
I guess it would help if I would provide a fix for this bug, but I'm not a coder, so I can't. So for now, votes are the only thing that help.

Comment by Christopher Martin [ 20/Jun/14 ]

OP (Chris) can you upload a zipped version of your world? Coders and mods are busy people and are more likely to implement a fix when you do as much of the work as possible, as demonstrated by MC-56541, which was reported and resolved within a week. Well, it could also be because of the cliquey, in-crowd nature of the Mojang inner circle (it seems the same crap the jocks were doing in high school is now the province of the nerds), but that could just be my suspicious nature talking.

Comment by Morilibus [ 20/Feb/13 ]

Could we add to this what Dico is talking about? How we can't send 1-tick pulses through torches anymore either(from what I can tell), might be related to this. Or should that be it's own separate bug?

Comment by Tails [ 06/Feb/13 ]

Confirmed.

Comment by DicoTheRedstoner [ 05/Feb/13 ]

Wow, this bug is crazy! Get a vote from me! I also dont like how its pretty much impossible to send a 1 tick pulse through torches D:
