            <title>[MCPE-17389] Observers only emit activation power instead of strong power like in the Java edition</title>
                <link>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-17389</link>
                <project id="10200" key="MCPE">Minecraft (Bedrock codebase)</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;The MCPE counterpart of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-107749&quot; title=&quot;Observers emit strong power instead of activation power like MCPE observers&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-107749&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-107749&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which was marked as WAI. (And then reverted to not WAI, and then later made WAI again due to community feedback. It remains the intended behavior as of 16w44a.) MCPE observers, in order to be consistent with the Java edition, should strongly power blocks, instead of only activating the blocks immediately in front of them. See attached picture for comparison.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Interestingly, observers already act as if they powered pistons through blocks because of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-16286&quot; title=&quot;Pistons are incorrectly activated when adjacent to a block that is adjacent to an activation-power source, but the block is not powered by the power source&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MCPE-16286&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MCPE-16286&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. So changing MCPE observers actually wouldn&apos;t break most flying machines. The community also seems to be in favor of changing observers as well, so I don&apos;t think there would be any backlash against a change to strong power.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                            <comment id="340530" author="zebulanstanphill@gmail.com" created="Sat, 5 Nov 2016 17:41:16 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=nighter&quot; class=&quot;user-hover&quot; rel=&quot;nighter&quot;&gt;nighter&lt;/a&gt;, as of 16w44a, the decision to make Java edition observers output activation power instead of strong power has been &lt;b&gt;reverted&lt;/b&gt;, and observers in the Java edition now once again output strong power.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Should this issue be reopened? Changing MCPE observers to work differently wouldn&apos;t break any flying contraptions, since observers already act as if they powered pistons through blocks because of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-16286&quot; title=&quot;Pistons are incorrectly activated when adjacent to a block that is adjacent to an activation-power source, but the block is not powered by the power source&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MCPE-16286&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MCPE-16286&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;So changing observers to output strong power would NOT break most flying contraptions, since the Java-edition behavior is already happening (when it comes to pistons) in MCPE because of a bug.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
