The Block Detector

Hello!  I’m back from my vacation!

I have decided to make some more Redstone devices in the next few upcoming posts. If you want to know how to make anything at all, just drop a comment in one of my posts.

The Block Detector
The block Detector is a redstone device that requires a 2x6 space. 3x7 if you want to hide it. What it does is it sends a redstone signal when you place or remove a block. This is great for traps, secret doors, flood detectors and machines that use pistons.

Here’s how to make one!
What you will need: 4 redstone, 1 piston (sticky), 3 cobblestone (can be any block), 1 wooden plank (can be any block), and one repeater.
Video On BUD switch 


When any block gets placed adjacent to the piston, it will switch off the redstone. This can be combined with a inverter to toggle the circuit from its on state to an off state and in vice versa.

When any block is removed adjacent to the piston it will switch on. The same thing happens if water touches the piston base.

Sorry for the long wait,
Captain Astro out.
