## Usage

The NOR Gate can be placed in 24 different orientations, on floors, walls, and ceilings.

When placing the block, the flat side will be placed against the face clicked by the player, and the output side will point to the edge of the clicked face nearest to where the player clicked. A transparent preview is rendered to assist with orienting the block; this can be disabled in the [Client Config](/en/mod/morered/configuration/client_config) if this is undesired.

The sprint key can be held while placing the block to change the axis of rotation.

While none of its three input sides are receiving redstone power, the NOR Gate emits maximum-strength redstone power from its output side. If any of its three input sides are receiving redstone power, the NOR Gate emits no power.
