Assorted Sensors
Assorted Sensors adds sensors that emit a redstone signal when something enters their range, along with GPS sensors that watch a stored position.
What it does
Each sensor is set to watch a specific kind of target. Players can pick whether a sensor watches players, mobs, items, a block type, a name or an id, which narrows down what triggers it. The range of a sensor can be increased or decreased by right clicking it, and a redstone torch used on it shows the range as a box. Placed behind a wall or beneath a floor, a sensor's light face lights up once it has detected something. The mod requires Assorted Lib and Fabric API, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
GPS sensors work differently: a GPS slot is stored by right clicking a block with a GPS item, which saves the space in front of the clicked face, and the sensor then watches that stored position. Sneaking and using air clears the stored position. The watched area can be shown as a box. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 26.2, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.
