Overview
The Orb Indicator is an Indicator block that visually represents the Redstone signal level as a growing orb. The orb's size and brightness increase with the Redstone signal level, creating the appearance of a field of Redstone Dust.
Note that at low Redstone signal levels, the indicator might appear off and must be examined carefully.
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 Orb Indicator item toggles base reading state, where the indicator reads Redstone signal from its base, shown by the Pin Marks in the corners.

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.
