Overview
The Control Panel is a decorative block capable of hosting functional blocks and items. Inserted items are rendered directly onto the surface of the panel while preserving their relevant functionality. See Control Panel Panels for items that have a functionality.
For example, inserting an Analog Source allows the player to configure and output a Redstone signal directly from the panel surface, including interaction with the physical knob. Indicators can also be inserted, causing the panel to visually display the supplied signal level.
The block is designed to resemble industrial control consoles and can be used to build control rooms, machinery interfaces, dashboards, and decorative automation systems.
GUI
At the top-left corner of the GUI there is a circular control element with an inventory slot in the center where the functional item is placed. Only a single item is inserted from the held stack.
The circular control element is also used to rotate the functional item. Clicking the outer ring allows the item to be rotated with a precision of 1°, while the inner ring rotates the item in steps of 15°. A red arrow indicates the current rotation of the item.
Above the player's inventory are three buttons that select the shape of the Control Panel.
Two groups of buttons are located to the left and right of these shape selection buttons. These button groups are used to configure individual Pin Marks.
The left-side button group always controls the pin marks used by Shape 1 and Shape 2, while the right-side button group is only used by Shape 3.
When using Shape 3, the meaning of the button groups depends on the current orientation:
- If the panel connects a wall with the floor or ceiling, the left-side buttons control the top or bottom pin marks, while the right-side buttons control the wall-side pin marks.
- If the panel connects two walls, then when viewed from the front of the panel, the left-side buttons configure the left-side pin marks and the right-side buttons configure the right-side pin marks.
Configuration
Shift + right-click with an empty hand will change the shape of the block.
Using a Rotation Bracket rotates the block differently depending on the currently selected shape:
- Shape 1 - Does not rotate
- Shape 2 - Rotates around its local Y-axis
- Shape 3 - Rotates around the world Y-axis
Right-clicking the block with any other item or an empty hand opens the configuration GUI.
After inserting items, changing their orientation or changing the shape, player can transfer the configuration to an Control Panel item by right-clicking the Control Panel block with Control Panel 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 Control Panel. If the configuration includes items, the items from the players inventory will be transfered to the block if the player has the required items.
