User blog comment:Sir Lazuli/Replacing Redstone/@comment-31845174-20180112002900

I think this is awesome, but there IS no good replacement for redstone, that isn't too modern, that can do all the stuff redstone can do. Because rope can't do everything, and the other ones you mentioned create power. To get the power to its desired destination, it would have to have something to attach them together, wires. But wires are to modern, so redstone CAN'T be fully replaced. There would always things we won't be able to do without redstone. Again, I think this blog is awesome.
