Build an OR doorbell, a NOT rebel lamp and an AND two-key rocket launch.

The Lab's rocket only fires if BOTH inventors turn their keys. One key alone? Nothing. Build it.

What you’ll build

Meet the three gates behind every computer chip. Build an OR doorbell that rings from either button, a NOT lamp that does the opposite of its lever, and an AND rocket launch that only fires when both keys are turned.

Finish line: Your doorbell rings from either button, your rebel lamp disobeys, and the rocket launches only with both keys.

Bonus challenge: Add a third key so the rocket needs all three. Test all 8 combos on your score sheet. Then add a big red ABORT lever that stops it!

You’ll need

  • Levers and buttons
  • Redstone torches
  • Redstone dust
  • Note block
  • Dispenser
  • Firework rockets

You choose

  • My rocket's name
  • Firework colours
  • Who holds the second key

Stuck?

  • A redstone torch turns off when the block it's on is powered. That's how NOT works.
  • Launch fires with one key? Check the output torch is on the side of the middle block.
  • Rockets hitting something? Point the dispenser up into open sky.
