Light Sensor Block, as shown by Jeb
Jeb released a teaser image recently, calling it a "Daylight Detector"! Upcoming feature in 1.5, maybe?
Light sensor blocks have, in many different forms, been a feature of numerous mod packs, and with good reason; the block is often depicted sending a redstone signal when a specific light threshold is detected, and otherwise emitting no signal. Many people use them for automatic lighting, doors, or more complicated and esoteric machinery. Will this particular block allow for sensitivity adjustments, letting players tell the block just how much light they want detected? Maybe this is just one exciting part of the upcoming Redstone Update. Dinnerbone already teased a number of redstone logic upgrades, and Mojang continues to pile on the features for the upcoming 1.5 update! We will keep you posted as it develops.
Evan takes us through the last week in Minecraft, check it out!
Nice call on the new Nether material being intruduced. It turns out the new material is what makes the light colored parts of the sensor and the dark colored part comes from wood planks. But either way the new snapshot looks enticing and 1.5 looks like its going to be a great release.
JK I'm not a guru, I'm just really good at it.
It's based off Rasugami's Light detector mod.
As far back as sprinting, experience levels, and up to flame bows shooting TNT and of course all the obvious ones
Yes @hunterman12345
Say's Rasugami's Light detector mod
Yes thats what make this werid
There wasn't going to be one
Now there is
Eg. Doors open on a set time, add a NOT gate and have one open at night
(A night club on servers?), or my favorite lights that turn on in the night
- It's So Magical!!!-
Combine with command block. -set time to (x minutes before daylight/night)
making timers just became a lot easier. No more thousands of repeaters and stuff :3
Just reverse the signal.
a single block. Redstone wiring takes up so much space, it can get frustrating
trying to figure out how to wire something in a small space. I know it isn't
needed, but it is nice to have. It also doesn't exploit the programing in the
way a BUD switch does, but actually is a light sensor.
I am hoping they do the same with t-flip-flops, xand, xor, and a number of other commonly used circuits. It would be great if these only took up a single block of space.
For those who prefer the traditional way of constructing the same redstone circuits, that should still be an option for you.
It's not perfect, but here's what I'm doing:
And here it is with the redstone exposed:
