I don't understand why you would do this. What's the point of the game if you're just going to basically cheat by exploiting tons of quirks?
what is minecraft?
minecraft was built on doing that
back in alpha most timing systems relied on placing two torches one way for a two tick delay, and a different orientation for a 1 tick delay
minecarts were used as boosters instead of using a furnace minecart
I see nothing wrong with these things, it's just the style of the game
