Simple Inverter

Minecraft Bedrock: How to build a simple inverter

Answer Tree | Random answers for random questions

A simple inverter in Minecraft will allow something like a lever to output power to one item but not another.  An example of this would be  a lever that turns one redstone lamp on while turning another off.

You will need the following items:

  1. Redstone Lamp (2x)
  2. Redstone Torch (1x)
  3. Redstone Dust (1x)
  4. Cobblestone (1x)
  5. Lever (1x)

Note: that the cobblestone can be replaced by any block that conducts redstone power.

Refer to the following screenshots for specific item placement.  The lever is placed next to a redstone dust which connects to the cobblestone.  The cobblstone has a redstone lamp on top of it and a redstone torch off the side.  One block away from the redstone torch the second redstone lamp is placed.  That is it!  When the lever is toggled one lamp will be on and one lamp will be off.

A practical use for this would be at a minecart station where the direction the track is heading at an intersection could be indicated by one of two redstone lamps.
