• 🐛 Bug

Short description:

Back in 1.12 it used to be possible to attach a lever directly to a Redstone Reader. This is not possible anymore, it now requires a solid block in between.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Place a logic cable on the ground
2. Attach a Redstone Reader on the side
3. Try to attach a lever to the Redstone Reader
   →:x: It will attach to the ground instead

Expected behaviour:

A lever should be able to connect to a reader directly, it used to, so a solid block is not needed. Having the block requirement makes the whole design of your setup unnecessarily bulkier.

Log file:

Restored in 94fc780

This issue is happening again, in version IntegratedDynamics-1.20.1-1.23.2.

Levers cannot be placed on redstone readers, unless they have a cable facade. However, when the cable facade is removed, the lever stays attached without problem (even placing blocks around it or flicking the lever will keep it attached). So I guess it is slightly different circumstances now.

Clean test environment version update.

Thanks for reporting!

This seems to be not possible anymore due to how vanilla has implemented levers.
Let's revisit this in 1.17.
