Minecraft Username: Man1cM1ner
Have you read the Read Before Posting post?: Yes
Your favourite thing about redstone: I love compacting redstone as much as possible, density in really complicated structures is very pleasing. I love the fact that there exists a way to work around any if not all limitations posed by the game through enough engineering. I also love how far some people have pushed Minecraft’s simple game mechanics and want to do the same.
A build you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge (This is your trial build): 4 - bit ALU with all the furnishings.
Explain what your build does in detail: This ALU can perform addition on 4 bit binary numbers, and can perform many other bitwise operations, with lines for: !A (invert A), !B (invert B), OR, CIN (carry-in), and FC (flood carry). It has a ROM that uses these lines to create the other bitwise operations: AND, NAND, XOR, XNOR and NOR. This ROM also has its own line for SUB (combining !B and CIN).

What is the name of the warp for your build on ORE?: /warp manic_alu

Additional notes: As of posting this application I am away for a day so I will not be available for trial today or tomorrow.
This application has been accepted!
Please review the FAQ below to learn more about the remainder of the process of getting Builder rank.
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 1.21.8 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:
- Trials can be done 24 hours after a failed one
- Only 2 trials can be done every 7 days
Q: What are the benefits of Builder?
A: There are 3 main benefits:
- Permissions to use Worldedit commands
- A plot on the Build server (4 times as large as School server plots)
- 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)
