lol it took me 1 hour to figure out a 3x5 design, this is so much more compact thanks!

This takes me back. I made my first redstone computer with your video. You have my grattitude!

You can make a standing version with 5 blocks in an X shape, torches on the bottom blocks, redstone dust on the middle block, two blocks in front of the bottom two blocks, redstone dust in front of the torches, have another torch sticking out of the middle block, and two torches sticking out the front two blocks. The vertical version uses about half as much redstone as the horizontal one---perfect for survival mode--whereas the horizontal version is great as a half-adder because the third torch's output can be taken as a carry input.

It works like magic, I'm still wrapping my head around understanding it exactly by decomposing it in and and or

[UnexpectedlyRandomOfficial]

Beautiful! Exactly what I was looking for!

this is 8 years old and it still works

The downside to this XOR model is delay. When working with larger redstone projects, the delay may be unwanted. However, if using these early on in a non-iterative system, I think it's more acceptable. I really like how there's this kind of "discipline" that has to be followed with redstone, as of course, with real electronics, the delay is often negligible as we're dealing with actual electricity, as there is no tick rate.

However, with this specific gate model, luckily the repeaters only serve to keep the gate three blocks wide. So it is easy to modify to have less delay, at the cost of more space being taken up of course.

Thanks, now I can build all the logic gates I’ll ever need

[takeoversfirebeats]

Love the design, it’s very useful for making a basic ripple carry adder with the torches

I build one XOR gate and it worked in the first try but it was VERY big! Thank you for this compact version!

[jamesonthomas]

very nice for creating a light in a room with 2 switches

[randomystic]

Still helpful till this day, other designs don't work with one tick pulses such as observers, this was perfect!

[eolgrillo]

This is so nice and useful, I'm looking for more compact logic gates

[gnrxan]

I really like this compact design. Thanks

[DukeOfTheBLVD]

I still use this design 8 years after seeing this

[jerry]

One of the simplest and best XOR Gates I could find!

[Fumble]

Looks like ur doing some kind of ritual

[lazyboy]

You are genius. I have been looking for this the entire time. Now i can complete my piston door.

[ryderf]

thanks for making this, helped a ton with my base :D (I have a 2x3 piston door I’ve been only able to have a lever inside before seeing this)

pro tip: to make this work with three inputs, make two of these and put the output of gate 1 to an input of gate 2. Place input 3 on the second input of gate 2.

Very good! It was very useful for my first machine learning project in Minecraft!
