Minecraft Redstone Tutorial: XOR Gate

[MarioOwnsAl1]

I didn't know you could use minecraft in this way, very helpful thanks.

[sprinkledTwinkie]

@MarioOwnsAl1 complex redstone for me is using redstone torches to bring a current strait up

[HiroUchihaSan]

I killed my friend because i made a piston version and extremely unnecessarily complex.

[Shawnbar97]

Nice, tidy, small XOR gate. I committed this to memory a long time ago :D

[TheAnydal]

in this case, that door is called "output"

[barrygeertman]

@TheAnydal No shit sherlock.

[st0n1e]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! +1

[Krascth]

This gate, in SMP, turns out to rise in need, as you may see...

[TutorialTheater]

Great tutorial! Was looking how to make this for a while! Check out my channel?

[JSBaldwin623]

I used to say purplewool, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[MrXDogzZ]

Is this used to make locks like with numbers then u flip some switches nad the door opens?

[alllks]

@MrXDogzZ I am uploading a tutorial on a simple code door,

You may want to check it out.

It is my only video, you'll see it..

[SignalAce1]

8 people think redstone is used to make tier 7 pickaxes

[Metallocity]

so, i figured out i can put redstone and extend the distance between the levers. but not very far. i attatched redstone where brenny put his levers on the same block with the torches.

hoping this xor gate allows me to open a piston trapdoor from either top or bottom with each lever opening/closing the piston door.

[Metallocity]

he put the switches right by each other. is this just for the sake of demonstration? or can i put the switches further away from each other to make it a little more usefull to what i need.

[Yikak4]

This is what I used to think an OR gate did.

[TheAllimania]

@Yikak4 or gate are actually just 2 wires with 2 switches connected to each other. one final wire, from those are going to a door, or whatever you want to power.

if you turn on one switch, the door will open. if you turn the other, the door will also open. if you turn both, the door will also open.

that means: both are able to open the door. the switch one OR the switch two.

thats an or-gate.

[Srlancelot39]

Thanks sooo much! Just used this vid to fix my underground library secret doorway.

Your video was very well organized and descriptive!

[DrOnline82]

Nah man this is indeed XOR. XNOR is high when inputs are equal. XOR is high when inputs are different.

[aNdReYuTz2011]

This is XNOR gate..

[Srlancelot39]

@aNdReYuTz2011 no.

[Deano645]

What if I wanted to had the levers far away from each other?

[mrdieboom123456]

@Deano645 just have repeaters and that have a repeater behind the first block where he places the levers

[MrTheShamalo]

for some reason, on the time bar thing, under the video, there is a yellow line. once the red progress bar reaches it, i can't control my video anymore. I can't pause it, can't fast forward, I can't do anything

[Srlancelot39]

@MrTheShamalo thats for the advertisements...thats y u cant control vid while its there.

[DrawingForMe]

why do you use wool?

[Srlancelot39]

@DrawingForMe its easy to break

[junkaccount4297]

@Srlancelot39 all redstone is easy to break. just ad water.

[Srlancelot39]

@junkaccount4297 no one was talking about redstone. he clearly asked why wool was used....and no, wool is not broken with water.

[junkaccount4297]

@Srlancelot39 i know wool isnt broken with water. i did not see the comment drawingforme posted, so i thought you were talking about the gate in general

[Srlancelot39]

@junkaccount4297 oh i see.....

[tigersmith12]

can you use pressure plates instead of lever

[Sahuagin]

good quick tutorial, but you should have explained what was happening with the signal

[ppm1n]

PURPLE WOOL ALL THE WAY

[EcchiGirls]

hey this is what im learning in school :D

redstoning cant be that hard then

[TheEvanblankenship]

purplewool



[CaffeinGaming]

can the same principle be used for pistons?

[MineCraftRussia]

I like your voice. It sounds like sex.

[PieEatinSuicideGrunt]

why not just have an and gate but have an inverter before one of the inputs

[Ghostlyman2]

@PieEatinSuicideGrunt Let's say input A gets inverted and we have an AND gate: then you would get:

Input A Input B Output

0 0 0

1 0 0

0 1 1

1 1 0

So we get wrong output at the second case, cause when input A is on and input B is off, we need to have a powered output...

[xMoreTx]

This is genius - just the other day, my friend was asking how can he open a door from both sides of his house!

I should look into this redstone stuff a little more, it looks amazing! :)

[epsguy23]

why do this when you can make an or gate??? theres gotta be a reason for making it more complicated.

[jamjam195atroblox]

@epsguy23

Because an OR gate can't be opened/closed from either side at the same time, an XOR gate can however

[epsguy23]

@jamjam195atroblox id might be easier to hook 2 buttons up to a piston tflop but I gues this was built WAY back in alpha

[toamahri123]

Would this work for a piston door?

[TheCriminal2334]

Thank you!!!! 

[Sephu]

Thank you very much for this, I've been trying to figure out an XOR switch for ever.. Finally got one working basing it off this basic idea and optimizing it with repeaters and such. I now have a secret bookshelf with a hidden lever that I can run into, and close behind me.. Excellent.

[LightDarkNinja]

i love your tutorials, they dont have complex terms.

Its just do this and put that there then this happens and yeah thats it

[ThibautVDP]

just finished my real redstone circuit. i made a double door with your xor gate (of course a not gate for the second door). now i can close the door from either side. long live iron!

[NerdyTB]

Wow, I was off by 2 small differences. lol

[ThibautVDP]

can you, instead of placing the switches there, just place swithes on totally different locations and use redstone wiring to there?

[MJimiD]

I could just copy/paste, but it drives me insane not getting the logic. I understand the logic inOR, NOR, AND, NAND, NOT, and basic CLOCK, but the logic on XOR is tripping me. I can see that it does work and I know that opposing levers turns the door on, but it's the redstone wire that's tripping me. does laying it down a single wire connected to two torches do something different than having to redstone wires converge?

[LightDarkNinja]

@MJimiD

know what makes more sense?

"is'nt limiting something based on i'ts counterability to other traps worse than just limiting non-OTK fusions around the limitation of other things and how they prevent OTK card's effects liable?

[MJimiD]

@LightDarkNinja HAHA you lost me at 'counterability'. But yea I figured out XOR

[BrianFace182]

is that jesse spencer?!

[Marzell765]

Well I'm gonna make a dirt mansion someday! Maybe!

[calumpotter]

"What else uses power.. Just doors basically" NOT ANY MORE!!!! : )

[gamejestor]

thx to Kulopto i know this is the kind of gate i need for my circuit, but i am still very unfamiliar with redstone circuits. Im trying to use both redstone and pistons in order to make ways into my base by having stairs come out the sides of the walls. the only problem is i cant get the second lever working

[SwedenSniperMastey]

thanks

[cheese319]

These would work well with doors that use switches instead of buttons.

[ROFLMAHWAFFLESER]

Actually, I think this is the simplest one so far... looks really easy, i built it on my first try, works perfect =D btw nice tutorials dude thanks so much i never wouldve been able to do this without you *hits subscribe*

[soopamariogalaxeee]

So what purpose would the XOR gate play in, say, SMP? What practical things could you do with it?

[ipodceiling]

@soopamariogalaxeee minecart track that goes off in different directions, if you want two switches to change the same piece of track (e.g. to choose between 1 person's house and another's) then this can be used

[Dziugaske]

@soopamariogalaxeee Favorite use is make so that you push one lever in one place, something activates and you dont have to rush trough a door or something like using a button and then use the lever in other place to deactivate.

[sesquey]

@Dziugaske Exactly what I want to use it for, especially with pistons. Open hidden staircase, descend, walk to downstairs switch, close at your leisure.

[TheCoolvideos123]

what are the uses of this? ande GREAT vids! keep them coming :)

[gamernixin]

I would just like to inform you that XOR stands for Exclusive OR Gate. Exclusive means it HAVE to be EITHER one and NOT both. Where a normal OR gate will sitll function if both are turned on, and if just 1 is turned on :)

[AtlantiusPSN]

Exactly what I need for my new 6-hatch mine entrance, thanks :D

[nodros1]

can I use this for a code-door?

[olynmus100]

subbed

[BohunPL1]

helped me alot, thanks

[ThePolarisKid]

liked and subbed onBOTH of my youtube channels

thanks bro. these relaly help me

[spartan963300]

Please help. I made this door, but after a while it randomly stops working. It is unaltered and the wires are connected properly.

[jazzophis]

I know it helps if people have a practical use for this and I saw one very good one a while ago with an automatic mine cart return. the cart would straddle a wood and stone plate when it stopped and while you are in both stay pressed so it does nothing, but when you get out the stone switch releases and a cart booster track opens to retrieve the mine cart

[dragos240]

I recently built a half adder machine, 3 bit. It's simple, but it works. I first used an XOR gate that I found on the minecraft wiki, which actually worked as a normal OR gate, which broke the design. I tried this one, and it has the correct truth table.

Just my way of saying thanks.

[timlyo]

Thanks this will be really useful for making a door that you can open and close from either side with levers :D

[joekelly15]

why would you use this? like in what situation beside a password door?

[EreaserNL]

@joekelly15 if you have a switch inside your house and out side that you can lock it. You could also add another part at the end when its past the gate to build a lock

[jazzophis]

@joekelly15 I know it helps if people have a practical use for this and I saw one very good one a while ago with an automatic mine cart return. the cart would straddle a wood and stone plate when it stopped and while you are in both stay pressed so it does nothing, but when you get out the stone switch releases and a cart booster track opens to retrieve the mine cart

[XTlegacyXT]

Can you show us how to make it with the switches on opposite sides of the door?

[DionEngels]

you can use this for when u want in and u push a lever and than close it from the inside

[piratecheese13]

subbed

[xenover]

What's the point of a XOR gate anyway ? I'm curious :)

[polvalente]

@xenover Te XOR Gate is useful for when you want to control the door to your base/shelter. For instance, if you died inside your base, you could be locked out, if used Levers with any other circuit, like the OR or AND gates. With the XOR, no matter from wich side of the wall you are pushing the levers, the output always changes.

[polvalente]

@xenover By the way, the XNOR gate would be the same thing as the XOR, but with inverse output, so when Inputs are equal, there would be TRUE(example: door open). Also, by adding RS NOR Latches, you could make buttons have the same effect as levers: Output not resetting after a certain time.

[Custardpictures]

Just what I needed and very helpful, thanks

[MASEK360]

Hey man I added a video response, could you maybe test if you could get 3 switches? I can't get it right I always fuck up :(

[MASEK360]

Thanks i subbed, this video should be featured on minepedia I didn't understand it on minepedia

[SeknaTS]

I love your tutorials, they're great. It's also nice that you don't have an American accent for once. Glad it's an accent I'm used to xD

[SlimySnail44]

@SeknaTS Americans have accents? Lol, I'm American and never noticed. What does it sound like?

[SeknaTS]

@SlimySnail44 Well I can't really tell people have the Australian accents here..., it becomes very obvious when I hear Americans talk real loud and have all the vowels pronounced different xD. It becomes obvious too when I hear Australian accents on the internet, cause I'm not used to it. (on the internet) :p

[SlimySnail44]

@SeknaTS :P

[Xxxdoge0022200xxX]

HEROBRINE!!!! Thumbs up if you saw "HIM"

[elijahvandagrift]

thanks this is just what i needed mines gonna be a bit spread out because im makin it so i can open and close my house from the inside and out using 2 switces

[MoserothPitcheart]

Like your tutorials really simple keep up the good work mate

[BrenyBeast]

@MoserothPitcheart thank you. please subscribe. if you haven't already :)

[0Devildriver0]

nice thx

[lukibu]

can i use it for switching a minecart track from three different points with a second xor gate?

[Jarede16]

@lukibu Yeah I had the same question so i tried it out, you can theoretically stack as many xor gates as you want, each additional gate giving you 1 additional slot for another input. Just route the output from one gate to one of the inputs of another and you are golden.

[lukibu]

@Jarede16

thanks a lot!

[Skulltastik]

@brenbren99999 in a lock tight house online

[Skulltastik]

an or gate with 2 inverters instead of one making it a xor gate instead of an nor gate right?

[ikekszi]

XOR = eXclusive or :D

[TheBadunka]

How can I make it so the switches can be placed somewhere else?

[BrenyBeast]

@TheBadunka take off the part when the switches go and put a Redstone wire going into it. then connect what ever you want to that.

[Arlithian]

@BrenyBeast This does not work, at least not anymore. I cant seem to make this gate work remotely like I need to (trying to connect it to a double piston door so it can be opened by lever. However, I cant have the switches close together or it defeats the purpose.)

[ainsleymg]

@BrenyBeast I did that but it dosnt work, do u think u cud make another tut ? for a minecart track :d

[19031991Chris]

@BrenyBeast

I don't understand that. See, there is a wall with a (iron)door and I want one switch outside and the other one inside. My problem is that this construction is surrounded with water. It's a tunnel and there isn't much place to build. In the tutorial it's a big construction and the switches are parallel AND at the same Stone like the torches. I hope you can understand my problem (and my bad english ^^')

[fr36r1k]

@19031991Chris You must make a bigger tunnel. That is the smallest version of the XOR gate

[Narukai12]

@BrenyBeast Actually i think you have to put a repeater where the level goes tried redstone didnt work D:

[Narrcotics101]

@BrenyBeast ok so i gotta question i made this all and i have tickered with it for like 12 flippin hours and all i can get is one switch to work on the xor gate why is this

[GladGulGubbe]

@BrenyBeast If i then make the redstone wire go too far, and i need to put out a repeater, the lever doesnt work anymore, what shall i do?

[bruce00ja7xrobgoblin]

@GladGulGubbe you most likly put the reapeter the wrong way round

[SurrealMax7]

Build your gates like 3 blocks under the structure, and just run the inputs and outputs up to ground level, where ever you want them to be! Make sure you put repeaters in place 14 blocks away from the gate, because you dont want to have to go down there again ever.

[SigmaSolid]

Well done once again Breny. =]

[OnlineiHD]

Umm.. What can you use this gates to?

[THESUCO1]

@OnlineiHD instead of 1 door you put 2 and instead of the switch put redstone leading up to a switch

[iGumzZ]

I study electronics i know all about these gates. Good job breny :)

[ThomasGhs]

thumbs up and good job. you need more subs. go to machinima and upload there

[RTesta3]

Nicely done, been a while.

The most practical simple use would be a switch on either side of a door, because pressure plates can be triggered by any mob and buttons have a short delay that may not allow you to get through the door.

I don't see it being practical for track switching unless you go far more complex than the single gate shown here.

I'm still sometimes having trouble with double doors when the area is cramped, like my tiny boat house. Now to try adding this....

[legocrazy98]

Nice. (First page :D)

[TheJosebandit211]

Using any of these gates.

[TheJosebandit211]

Make a complex 3-4 switch redstone tutorial. :) pl0x

[hello1221335]

ah... XOR gates mans best friend in adders.

- Thumbed

[billeyb13]

would this work with minecart tracks?

[BrenyBeast]

@billeyb13 Yes it would. just have a track instead of the door. to can make the redstone longer too using inverters.

[12yrOldGenii]

Woot!
