Colored Rail Detector

by IAmSneak

Colored Rail Detector lets detector rails respond to colored blocks placed on top of them, so a rail can trigger only when a player holds a specific item.

What it does

Detector rails can be placed above colored blocks such as wool, concrete, concrete powder, terracotta and glazed terracotta. Each block color sets the condition the rail checks. Most colored blocks activate the rail only for a player holding the exact matching item, while terracotta activates it for any player passing over, without that item in the main hand. The mod is server-side only and needs Fabric API. A client-side install is not required for it to work in singleplayer.

Key features

  1. Item-gated detection

    Colored blocks on a detector rail activate it only when the player walks over while holding the matching item.

  2. Wide block choice

    Wool, concrete, concrete powder, terracotta and glazed terracotta can all serve as the colored base.

  3. Terracotta exception

    Terracotta blocks detect players passing without the exact item in the main hand, unlike the other colored blocks.

Questions

Does Colored Rail Detector need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to the mod on a Fabric server.

Does a player need to install Colored Rail Detector?

No. The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it, and it works in singleplayer without any client-side install.

What the author says

Place your detector rails on top of a colored block (wool, concrete, concrete powder, terracotta, glazed terracotta) and it will not activate when players are passing by without them holding that exact item in their main hand. Only required on the server, but adding it to the client will make it work in singleplayer.
