Logic Gates Explained with Minecraft Redstone (Explained by Minecraft)
5Logic gates are how your electronics function, so here's a rundown on the basic gates. Let me know any other tech related things you may be to explain in Minecraft.

The script:
If you don't know what they are, logic gates are the basic building blocks of any digital system.
An electronic circuit having a number of inputs (in this case, I'll be always using mainly 2), with only one output, based on the specific gate.
If you know anything about redstone work in Minecraft, you use these all of the time.
These are used in every electronic you have seen.
To make it easy, and maybe more relatable, I'm going to show you the main basic gates, but by using redstone in Minecraft,
and explain what is going on.
If you enjoy this, and want to see more tech related things, let me know, and give me some ideas as well.
Here are logic gates in Minecraft.
The names are pretty self explanatory, and you'll see why.
Starting off with the OR gate.
This one allows power, if either, or both of the two inputs are on, and only blocks it if neither are on.
Pretty basic, if input 1, OR input 2 or on, power flows.
Next the AND gate.
This one only allows power, when both inputs are on, thus the AND.
If input 1, AND input 2 are on, then power flows.
An example could be logging into anything.
Both your username and password must be correct, in order to let you in.
Now the NOT gate.
This one only allows power, if the input is off.
Think of it like a car door.
If it is NOT closed, the alarm letting you know the door is open chimes.
It mainly is used to invert the power, which is why it's also called an inverter.
Then the XOR gate.
This one is an OR gate, but is off when both are on as well,
making it an exclusive OR, hence the X.
There are more, but mainly just a slight difference from the above gates.
For instance, a NAND, which is only on, when the inputs are off,
a NOR gate, which is the opposite of an OR gate, which means the power is off, unless both inputs are off.
an XNOR, which is on only when both inputs are the same.
It isn't always 2 inputs, and that's where things can get more complicated.
For instance, a three input AND gate, which only turns on when all 3 inputs are on.
It's basically an AND gate with 2 inputs, then the output of that gate, goes into an AND gate with the third input.
Using these gates, the electronics you have are allowed to function.
To help show you, if you subscribe, like or dislike, and comment,
you've done as much to help the video as you can, other than by watching the video itself.
Things can get really complicated, for instance, here's what a 16 bit calculator logic diagram looks like,
don't expect me to explain all this, I did this stuff in one year of school, and already forgot what everything means,
but trust me, it messes with numbers.
Thanks for watching.
