    Hate to bring it up, but compared to real digital circuits Minecraft redstone is literally a child’s toy

      They show how to make a NAND, NOR, and XOR gate. And all you really need for functional completeness is the NAND.

      This just doesn’t have the semi-analog stuff like DRAM.

      But if I had to do my digital design at the gate level for anything more than like an adder, I’d be pretty over it pretty quickly.

        From what I understand, the majority of the most ridiculous minecraft feats are just… writing code to write Minecraft world data for logic circuits, not actually placing the blocks by hand. At a certain scale writing some kind of monstrous compiler to place blocks for you based on a proper circuit plan or programming language becomes easier.
