Item detector
by Redynine
Item detector adds one block that players set up with a password and a controller, so that nearby players carrying chosen items can be identified.
What it does
Once the detector is placed, a password is bound to it by clicking the detector. The item detector controller then needs that password entered before it will respond. Up to nine items can be selected for the detector to respond to, and when a player nearby holds one of them, the block emits a redstone signal. The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge, runs on client and server, and has files for 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, released under All rights reserved.
Latest files are 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 on NeoForge, first published on 2024-12-22 and last updated on 2025-02-09.
Key features
One block, one item
The mod adds a single block that watches for the items set on it, with nothing else added to the game.
Password-bound controller
A password is bound to the detector by clicking it, and the controller must receive that password before the detector accepts input.
Redstone output
When a player near the detector carries a selected item, the block emits a redstone signal that can trigger circuits or doors.
