Entity Detector

Description

The Entity Detector is a block that emits a redstone signal when it detects entities of a specified type within a configurable radius. Right-click the block to open its GUI, where you can configure the detection radius, filter type, and output behavior.

Features

Detection Radius

The Entity Detector can detect entities in a configurable 3D radius. You can set separate ranges for X, Y, and Z axes. The maximum range for each axis is 10 blocks.

Entity Filters

The detector can filter entities by type:

All: Detects any entity
Living: Detects only living entities
Animal: Detects only animals
Monster: Detects only hostile mobs
Player: Detects only players
Items: Detects only item entities
Custom: Uses an Entity Filter placed in the detector's inventory slot

Invert Mode

When invert mode is enabled, the detector's logic is reversed. For example, if the filter is set to "Players" and invert is enabled, the detector will emit a signal when any entity that is NOT a player is detected.

Power Modes

The Entity Detector has three power output modes:

Weak: Outputs a redstone signal strength of 1 when entities are detected, 0 when not
Strong: Outputs a redstone signal strength of 15 when entities are detected, 0 when not
Proportional: Outputs a redstone signal strength based on the number of entities detected (1 per entity, up to 15). When invert mode is enabled, the power level decreases with entity count
