Description
1.21.10 support along with 1.1.0 Update is out!
View the changelog here. Please report any bugs through the GitHub or through the comment section.
Purpose of the Mod
Adds OR, XOR, NOT, and AND boolean logic gates and a CLOCK with the idea of designing more compact redstone machines with potentially better performance.
Recipes and Usage
AND Gate:

|
 |

 |
 |
|
|
Usage
2 Inputs, 1 Output. 1 Input on Left, 1 Input on Right, 1 Output on redstone torch side.
| L | R | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
NOT Gate:
| X | X | X |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
1 Input and 1 Output. Output is the opposite of the input — so if Redstone is powered in, it will come out off.
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 |
(X)OR Gate:
XOR and OR is the same block.
| X | X | X |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
2 Inputs, 1 Output. 1 Input on Left, 1 Input on Right, 1 Output on Redstone torch side.
OR:
| L | R | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
XOR:
| L | R | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 |
CLOCK:
| X | X | X |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
1 Output: Flips between on and off at a rate specified by the delay, which is changed when right-clicked.
| Delay # | Flips per Second |
|---|---|
| 1 | 20 |
| 5 | 4 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 15 | 1.333 |
| 20 | 1 |
Potential Performance Increase with Clocks
NOTE!
I never made this mod to make a better performant way for using Redstone — I more built this to learn modding and to save space in Redstone designs. Do not download this mod for the potential performance increase.
If you have any information to add regarding whether the test is accurate or flawed, I would love to hear about it.
Base Rules for each test:
- Both worlds were duplicates using Minecraft's built-in recreate button
- Sim distance: 12 chunks
- Render Distance: 12 chunks
- Super flat world with "Redstone Ready" preset
- Peaceful, no structures
- Windowed mode
- Forge install with just Redstone Additions and WorldEdit
Redstone Additions Clock
For the Redstone Additions test, 10,201 (100x100 grid) clocks were set with WorldEdit with a delay set to 1 (flips 20 times a tick).
Vanilla Clock
For the vanilla clock, this is a design I came across from just playing the game. I am unsure of the exact speed it flips, but just watching the flip rate, it feels similar to the speed of the Redstone Additions Clock with delay = 1. WorldEdit was also used to copy and stack in a 100x100 grid, effectively placing 10,000 individual instances of this design.
The conclusions
Through my own research on what each value means in the F3 menu (via the Minecraft Wiki), it would seem that using the mod lowers the total amount of memory while also lowering the time it takes to process a tick. The mod also has an increased number of packets received from the Integrated Server, by roughly 10x. You can compare these values and anything else I might have missed by looking at both images above.
