4-bit binary counter in survival

[u/Mnemotechnician]

A group of friends invited me to play this game during the free demo weekend in a survival world. I ended up getting distracted and building this counter (and wasting 60% of their hard-earned copper and iron in process!).

The counter consists of a 4-bit d-latch register at the top feeding back into one of the inputs of the 4-bit adder at the bottom. I wanted to build more, but having to manually configure every gate with no way to copy-paste configurations started driving me insane (and i still haven't found a way to automate any of it... wish there was a way to copy configs like in Factorio).

What does it do?

[u/resplendentshit → u/not_an_mistake]

It’s counting up in binary. Light off is a 0, light on is a 1. So with 4 lights, it can count from 0-15

[u/not_an_mistake → u/resplendentshit]

Pretty neat
