ThePhoenix49's builder application (pls i want W/E)

minecraft username: ThePhoenix49
favorite thing about redstone: fun way to learn computer science
knowledge demonstration build: 4 bit ALU
detailed explanation: can do addition, substraction, and, nand, or and nor by using 3 xor gates to act as controllable no gates and a decoder to toggle each of them and the carry in of the a cca, then uses comparators to control where inputs are given (substract mode) so in the end it gives you the result of the operation.

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 2 main benefits:

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

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

  • Running and voting in Staff elections
  • Joining the Survival and Seasonal servers
  • Option to progress to Engineer (barring additional requirements are met)
  • Interact with other Build plots (assuming permission from the plot owner)
