Creation of integrated circuits (RedLogic)

What's an integrated circuit
An integrated circuit in minecraft is a redstone circuit with many elements, e.g. Redstone, Red Alloy Wire, Bundled Cable and different logic gates which performes a specific electronic task to receive and emit redstone signals. This redstone circuit can be only a few blocks in size or fill a space of 20x20x20 blocks or more. Since these are very bulky and resourceful in the world, such a circuit can be stored in a single block by means of RedLogic, which then emulates this circuit. This block can be placed in the world and interacts with wires, cables, machines and so on.

What's the difference to other mods
The possibility to create integrated circuits have a handful of mods, e.g. Blue Power, Integrated Circuits and Project Red, but in contrast to these RedLogic has a significant difference. While in the other mods the player can design 2D-circuits with a maximum of 4 output sides (sides), RedLogic allows the player to design 3D-circuits with a higher complexity and a maximum of 6 output sides (all cubic faces).

Cleanroom


To design an integrated redstone circuit and store it in an Integrated Circuit Block the player needs a Cleanroom. This is a multiblock structure which imitates a cleanroom for semiconductor engineering in real. In this structure the player can design redstone circuits which are then stored in a Schematic.

An example of a cleanroom is shown in Fig. 1 and 2. A cleanroom must be a cuboid structure with floor, wall, and ceiling, but its dimension is unlimited. The structure can only consists of Cleanroom Walls, Cleanroom Air Filters, one Redstone Digitizer, as well as Yellow, Orange and Red Decorative Lamps. Air or other blocks, e.g. an entrance, must be compensated with Cleanroom Air Filters in the ratio of 4:1::filter:air.

Filters, lamps and air blocks can be anywhere in the structure, but the Redstone Digitizer must be in the ceiling (not necessarily in the middle).
