OR GATE

Outputs ON when ANY input is ON. The simplest multi-input gate, just merge two redstone dust lines into one. No torches needed for basic OR functionality.

Truth Table

Input AInput BOutput
0 (OFF)0 (OFF)0 (OFF)
0 (OFF)1 (ON)1 (ON)
1 (ON)0 (OFF)1 (ON)
1 (ON)1 (ON)1 (ON)

How to Build

  1. 1Run input A as redstone dust toward the output point.
  2. 2Run input B as redstone dust toward the same output point.
  3. 3Where the two dust lines meet, they naturally combine into an OR gate.
  4. 4If either input has signal, the output will be powered.
  5. 5For isolation, use repeaters on each input before merging.

Build Variants

  • Direct dust merge (simplest, just join two lines)
  • Repeater-isolated OR (prevents signal backflow)
  • Multi-input OR (just add more lines to the merge point)
