Oh! I see. I think I will come up with some craft template suggestions then. Also, be a bit more careful how you phrase things: "No bad Idea" and "Not a bad idea" have opposite meanings. But don't worry too much about it, just keep practicing and your English will get better.
Edit:
Ok, I am doing some research. Minecraft uses a system of torches and redstone blocks to accomplish logic circuits. Logic gates require the use of multiple block arrangements, and what things are are not apparently obvious. I'm thinking of a slightly different system, using single blocks that represent logic gates, and then would use conduit to connect the faces of these blocks, which would represent the legs of the gate. The legs have 2 necessary arrangements, a T or a 3 way elbow. The T shaped gate block requires 2 different leg configurations, and the 3 way elbow has only 1 necessary leg configuration. That means for each of the 16 types of logic gate, there will be 3 different block configurations. To make this work, the blocks will be rotatable via a wrench tool, which will rotate a block clockwise 90deg when used against a block face. This will allow the player to orientate the gate faces in whatever position/configuration the player desires.
Note that each face of these transistor blocks should be clearly labeled with the gate type and and leg type.
These logic circuits will be powered by connecting the logic circuit to a powerplant. Three possible powerplant blocks are: Solar panel block, think of one of those step blocks in minecraft with an appropriate texture,windmill/windmill tower blocks, and a steam turbine/boiler block set that can be paired with the existing furnace.
Other utility blocks after these basics have been established could be: LED torch/LED lamp block, diode blocks, capacitor blocks, other basic circuit elements.
I will sketch up some concept art later and post it
