Minecraft Logical Redstone
Learn digital logic through Minecraft redstone!
Hosted by 1 expert guide
Learn the secrets of computers inside Minecraft, then create a minigame powered by Redstone!
What You’ll Do
- Join a small group of 4 students and meet twice a week for 8 weeks.
- Tackle interactive lessons and challenges that build your Redstone skills step by step.
- Get 24/7 access to our private Redstone server where you can practice and experiment.
- Wrap it all up by creating your very own Redstone-powered minigame to show off what you’ve learned.
What you’ll learn
- Computer Science – Binary logic, addition & subtraction, Boolean algebra, and logic gates.
- Computer Engineering – Combinational devices, pulses, clocks, latches & flip-flops, and displays.
- Game Design Basics – How to use Redstone not just for machines, but also to create fun games and challenges.
What You’ll Need
- Minecraft Java Edition (Bedrock will not work).
- Comfort with basic math and logic (adding, subtracting, number sense, and simple true/false reasoning).
- A basic understanding of Redstone components.
Why Learn Logical Redstone?
Logical Redstone is a fun and hands-on way to explore computer science and engineering concepts. Whether you want to dive into coding, electronics, or just level up your Minecraft skills, this course gives you a foundation you can build on for years.
What’s Next?
After finishing Redstone 101, you’ll unlock access to the Redstone Club:
- Work on personal Redstone projects of your choice.
- Get feedback and inspiration directly from Eric.
- Collaborate with peers who are also building and experimenting.
- Push into advanced Redstone concepts at your own pace.

Today, students explored the core components of redstone, including dust, repeaters, comparators, and torches. I was impressed to see that everyone already had a strong understanding of these elements. We built on this knowledge by discussing how glass towers affect redstone move...

This week, we wrapped up our work on binary addition by building a full adder—a circuit that can handle both inputs and carry values. Then, we took it a step further by chaining multiple full adders together to create a full 8-bit adder, capable of adding numbers up to 255! It wa...

This week, we introduced the concept of memory in redstone and explored how circuits can store and recall information. We started with an SR latch, a simple memory circuit that can store a value based on inputs. Students discovered how we can “set” and “reset” data, creating a ba...

Last week, students explored redstone screens and how to efficiently control pixels. Initially, they considered 1x1 pixels but quickly saw that wiring becomes too complex at scale. Instead, they used 2x2 pixel screens, which are much easier to wire and expand.
To control these s...

In our second lesson of the week, we explored how binary addition works in redstone by constructing a half adder. We began by examining the truth table for a half adder and discovered that it can be built using two simple logic gates: AND and XOR. Through this process, students s...

This week, we wrapped up our exploration of binary addition by building a full adder. Using what we learned from half adders, we combined multiple full adders to create an 8-bit adder—capable of adding numbers up to 255! This was a great way to see how small, simple circuits can ...
