The Application

Minecraft name:
What do you like the most about redstone?:
What’s a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?:
What does the thing do?:
Image(s) and/or video(s) of the device:
What did you make as your trial build?:
What is the warp for your trial build?:
Provide your results after completing the ORE Binary Quiz:
Do you agree with the rules?:
Let’s go through those fields one at a time.
Minecraft name
First, be sure that when posting your application, you include your Minecraft name in the title of the application. We see occasionally someone forgets and that means we can’t properly tie your Minecraft account to the application.
What do you like the most about redstone?
Next, tell us what you like most about redstone. Don’t stress too much about this but we’d like to get your insight into what part of redstone you find the most interesting, fun, or otherwise enjoyable.
What’s a thing you have made which demonstrates redstone knowledge?
What does the thing do?
Image(s) and/or video(s) of the device
After that, we ask you to tell us about things you’ve worked on. This should be something you’ve made rather than something copied from another player. Feel free to use something you’ve made in the past.
Remember, links to pictures and/or videos MUST BE PROVIDED in the application or it cannot be accepted. Please provide screenshots of your work by attaching the image to the post, or by using Imgur to host the images. If you are convinced that we will not be able to determine the functionality of your device from screenshots, please feel free to post a video that you’ve made, hosted by YouTube.
What did you make as your trial build?
Previously trials required Testificates to build during the trial. This is no longer the case. You are expected to prepare a build prior to the trial. Typically, the expectation is something at least as advanced as a 4-Bit RCA ALU. Feel free to ask anyone with Builder rank or higher, especially staff, if you need help with creating your build with WorldEdit.
What is the warp for your trial build?
Once you’ve completed the trial build, you can set a warp to it using /setwarp <name> where the name would be included in your application. If you incorrectly set a warp or need help working with them, feel free to ask staff for assistance.
Provide your results after completing the ORE Binary Quiz:
The ORE Binary Quiz is a brief quiz intended as a way to ensure you know some of the required trial information prior to the actual trial. When you complete the Binary Quiz, it will provide you with your results. Click the copy button and paste it in your application. Keep in mind that invalid or incorrectly copied results will not be accepted.
Do you agree with the rules?
Lastly, make sure to accept the rules. The full detailed rules can be found here but a more condensed version is further up on this post.
Trials
You only get ONE trial attempt every 24 hours, after that, you can try again.
The purpose of the trial is to both confirm that you have submitted your work in your application and to determine the depth of your understanding. Upon completion of your trial you will be asked questions about how your device works and will be expected to explain your reasoning in detail; therefore it is best that you have complete understanding of your device before you dive into a trial.
