Half ticks (C-Tick & P-Tick)

Consumer and Producer ticks

In Bedrock edition each Redstone tick contains two Game ticks. However, unlike Java edition, the tick in the first and second half of the Redstone tick behave differently and serve different functions. The first half-tick in the Redstone tick is the Consumer tick (C-tick) and the second half is the Producer tick (P-tick). Outside of redstone components, both of these ticks function/serve the same purpose and have no difference.

C-tick and Consumers

C-ticks are the tick in the first half of the redstone tick. C-ticks affect only consumers (A list of all consumers is below). The C-tick travels and functions just like a normal redstone signal. However, C-ticks are limited to a single line of redstone dust as any method of extending the signal will require a producer, which can not be activated by a C-tick.

Consumers are defined by any redstone-related block that can interact with redstone but have no method of outputting a redstone signal (The exception is the target block see below). It is usually better to think of Consumers as any block that is not a Producer block. Or, Any block that can not output a redstone signal.
