Independent wire bridge
Cross two routes without accidentally joining their signals.
9 × 9 footprint4 layers27 blocksTested in 4 rotationsJava Edition 26.2
Layout
redstone dustinputsolid blockarrows point where a device sends its output; north is up
How it works
Two wires cross with a three-block height difference. Their support blocks and power paths remain separate; every input combination is checked.
- One route changes height to pass the other with separation.
- A crossing is successful only when each output still depends on its own input.
Truth table
Settled outputs after the inputs stop changing. 1 is on, 0 is off. Every row is checked in the simulator in all four rotations.

Build it in the game: 27 commands
Relative to where you stand, with x running east and z running south. Paste one line at a time into chat, or into a chain of command blocks. The block art is the game's own; the layout is what the page above shows.
