Arrow Indicator

Overview

Arrow Indicator is a visual indicator that displays the strength of a redstone signal using a rotating arrow. The arrow changes its angle depending on the supplied signal level, allowing players to quickly observe signal changes in a circuit.

The block can read both Redstone signals and RedCu Wire signals.

A text can be written on the indicator with Formatting Notation by changing the item name with an Anvil. Text will be scaled to fit 75% of the surface.

Arrow Indicator Interface

After placement, right-clicking the block with an empty hand or with any item except Arrow Indicator or Rotation Bracket opens the configuration interface.

The interface allows the player to configure several aspects of the indicator:

• Pin configuration - The button group at bottom-right corner changes Pin Mark A configuration.
• Decorative glass cover - A toggle located in the bottom-right corner enables or disables a glass cover over the indicator.
• Indicator background style - Three buttons in the top-right corner allow the player to choose the visual style of the indicator background:
  • 3/4 circle
  • Full circle
  • 1/4 circle
• Signal range configuration - Two text boxes to the left of the style buttons allow the player to define the signal range used for the indicator.
  • The top box sets the maximum signal value.
  • The bottom box sets the minimum signal value.
  • The current signal level is displayed between them.

The input boxes accept floating-point values, including negative numbers. If the minimum value is greater than the maximum value, the arrow will rotate counterclockwise instead of clockwise.

Configuration Inherence

By default, the Arrow Indicator reads signals in the range from 0 to 16 and uses the 3/4 circle background style without a glass cover.

After configuring an Arrow Indicator block, the player can transfer its configuration to an Arrow Indicator item. This is done by right-clicking the configured block while holding an Arrow Indicator item.

When the configuration is copied:

• The item receives an enchantment glow effect.
• The item description displays the inherited configuration.

Placing the item as a block will apply the stored configuration to the newly placed Arrow Indicator.

To clear the stored configuration, simply right-click the item in the air.
