Why is the South-East rule affecting me and not MumboJumbo?
IMPORTANT: I'm not asking for a fix for the door just an explanation to why it happens to me but not him. (though if you want to suggest a solution I'm okay with that too)
Mumbo put a video out today and it shows his 6*6 piston door which I have downloaded several times but it has never worked. Can anyone tell me why it works for him and not me?
The door doesn't fully retract on the north/west side depending if you have it along the x or z axis.
I know it has to do with the south-east rule but even then shouldn't it effect him in the same way?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this phenomenon.

Redstone is very very very very very buggy.
Some contraptions are rotational, some are locational, and some are even depending on the java version.
Might be that you are on a different java version than him, very likely actually.
Minecraft self-installs its own bundled Java.
Not in all configurations on all OSes. On Linux, for example, it uses the system Java.
Aha, TIL. thanks :)
Mine is overwritten with Java 8 since 1.10. You can change what version of Java you use in the launcher settings.
Direction dependency is usually because of poor design. Location dependency is usually caused by random update order of redstone dust, which I guess could be considered a bug...
Since it's a piston door, I would assume there are 2+ pistons being powered by the same source that blocks/cuts power for the other(s).
