Master Control
By lazaruscode
MASTER CONTROL (or Sark as I like to call it)
Need to easily set up a detector that is so much more than an observer block? This is your mod!
Master Control is a placeable configuration block you left-click to open a button-based UI that configures detection mode (Redstone Power, Detection Only, Detection with Alert, Day Only, Night Only, Inverted), detection target (Hostile Mob, Player, Animal, Villager, Item on Ground, Any Entity), detection radius (2, 5, 10, 20), trigger behavior (One-Shot or Continuous), cooldown, output actions (Redstone Pulse, Play Sound, Spawn Particle Effect, Send Chat Message), alert sound selection, and an optional player-health trigger; settings persist when the UI is closed and the block shows a faint particle glow while active. To use it, place the block (it stores the facing direction), left-click to set your options, then enable the desired mode—One-Shot fires once with a selectable cooldown, Continuous stays active while conditions hold, and outputs can be combined. The Redstone Power output has been fixed so it places a redstone block exactly one block directly in front of the Master Control based on its stored facing (the face toward you when placed) and will only place or remove that block when the output state actually changes, preventing rapid blinking; the redstone output is also cleaned up when the Master Control is deactivated or broken.
Extra points to those who get the movie reference from the name.
