NOT GATE (INVERTER)

The simplest logic gate. Inverts the input signal, when input is ON, output is OFF, and vice versa. Built with a single redstone torch. The foundation for all other gates.

Truth Table

InputOutput
0 (OFF)1 (ON)
1 (ON)0 (OFF)

How to Build

  1. 1Place a solid block (e.g., cobblestone).
  2. 2Place a redstone torch on the output side of the block.
  3. 3Run redstone dust into the input side of the block.
  4. 4When the input is powered, the block becomes powered, turning the torch OFF.
  5. 5When the input is unpowered, the torch stays ON and outputs signal 15.

Build Variants

  • Torch on block (classic, 1 torch, 1 block)
  • Torch on wall (attached to side of block)
  • Comparator-based inverter (subtract mode with side input of 15)
