Bar Indicator

Overview

Bar Indicator is an indicator block whose top surface fills as the incoming redstone signal strength increases.

The block is designed for builds that might require indicators larger than a single block. Its display surface covers the full area of a block face, while Pin Mark A is hidden beneath the displaying face to maintain a clean visual appearance. This lets the player tile the block. Note that each block needs its own Redstone signal supply.

The top surface intentionally uses a 15 x 15 pixel texture instead of the standard 16 x 16. This allows the indicator to appear completely off when the signal level is 0, while signals from 1 to 15 gradually fill the bar.

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.

Configuration

The inputs (Pin Mark A) can be configured to face any side by right-clicking. When multiple inputs are connected, the Indicator displays the greatest Redstone signal from its inputs.

Every 16th right-click or a right-click with Bar Indicator item toggles base reading state, where the indicator reads Redstone signal from its base, shown by the Pin Marks in the corners.

Block State

Registry name: redstonecg:bar_indicator

Block properties:

• power(0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15): sets shown signal value.
• waterlogged(false|true): determines whether the block is waterlogged.
• connection(0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15): sets Pin Mark configuration. On 15 there are no Pin Marks on the sides. Each time this is set to 15, block entity property `base_read` is toggled.

• z: Z coordinate of the block entity.
• state: encoded facing and rotation used to orient the block.
• base_read: determines if block reads signal in the direction of its base.
• CustomName (Optional): custom name of the block and displayed text.
