Minecraft HDL, an HDL for Redstone

6 months ago

MinecraftHDL is a digital synthesis flow for Minecraft redstone circuits using industry-standard design tools.
It can generate digital circuits from Verilog code, though complex designs may not be testable in-game due to block limits.
The tool currently cannot synthesize sequential circuits (e.g., memory, counters).
MinecraftHDL was developed as an undergraduate project by three McGill University students.
It serves as an educational tool for teaching digital design concepts.
A sample circuit, a 4-to-1 multiplexer, is provided in Verilog and synthesized in Minecraft.
The project includes resources like screenshots, installation guides, and background theory.
A 2-bit adder demo shows the quick synthesis and testing process in Minecraft.
