• 🐛 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.

*Edit: split into new report: #1408

Thanks for reporting!

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