Builder Application [0x00]

Minecraft Username:
one_millisecond

Have you read the “Read Before Posting” post?:
Yes.

Your favorite thing about redstone:
The freedom to design the way you want and make anything you can imagine, from Minecraft in Minecraft to music players to 3d graphics, even simple doors and automated farms.

A build you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge (This is your trial build):
4-bit standard ALU.

Explain what your build does in detail:
Takes 2 inputs, A and B. By default, it performs ADD, but with switches under the ALU you can perform bitwise and other mathematical operations.

Images / videos of the build:


What is the name of the warp for your build on ORE?:
4balu

Do you agree with the rules?:
Yes.

Could you write out the full list of ALU operations?

Generally we expect 2 or less incorrect answers, include an improved result in a reply.

Sorry 'bout that.

This ALU takes 2 inputs, A and B. By default, it performs ADD, but with switches under the ALU you can perform bitwise and other mathematical operations.
Bitwise operations are as follows:

  • NOT ; inverted state
  • AND ; 1 if equal
  • OR ; 1 if either 1
  • XOR ; 1 if different
  • SHL (A+A) ; shift data left

Mathematical operations are as follows:

  • Addition (default)
  • Subtraction (!A+1)

Flags:
Carry (CF) ; result > 2^4
Zero (CF) ; output was 0

As for the better quiz results, here they are.

Just to clarify, does this mean it can also do NAND, NOR, and XNOR?

It is possible, so yes, yes it can.

FAQ

Q: What is my next step?
A: Join the ORE Minecraft server and request a trial with any available trialers (Engineers, Moderators, and Admins).

The server IP is mc.openredstone.org and the current version is 1.20.4 on Java Edition.


Q: Do I need to trial right away?
A: Nope! You are free to request a trial at any time so long as your application is accepted (which yours is).

Ideally you want to avoid taking too long, so we strongly recommend being sure you can pass before requesting a trial.


Q: How long does a trial last?
A: This can vary somewhat across different trialers, but generally somewhere around half an hour or less. It will often take longer if you aren’t as prepared, so we recommend reviewing ahead of time, especially with help from another member.


Q: What do I need to know for the trial?
A: This can also vary somewhat across different trialers, but here are some of the most important topics:

  • Binary and Binary Arithmetic (Addition/Subtraction)
  • Logic Gates and Bitwise Logic
  • Redstone Adders and ALUs
  • Two’s Complement (Signed Numbers)

A great way to make sure you know what to expect is to ask the specific trialer what you should learn ahead of time.


Q: How often can I retry after failing?
A: There are 2 limitations:

  1. Trials can be done 24 hours after a failed one
  2. Only 2 trials can be done every 7 days

Q: What are the benefits of Builder?
A: There are 3 main benefits:

  1. Permissions to use Worldedit commands
  2. A plot on the Build server (4 times as large as School server plots)
  3. Access to the Survival world

Aside from that, there are also some minor benefits such as:

  • Running and voting in Staff elections
  • Joining the Seasonal server when it’s up (an occasional “Survival with a twist” type server)
  • Option to progress to Engineer (barring additional requirements are met)
  • Interact with other Build plots (assuming permission from the plot owner)
