DW20 Player detector with redstone signal

[DinckelMan]

I'm looking for something that can emit a redstone signal when a player is nearby. Is there any block that can do that?

Botania adds a block that emits one when you look at it, but I for the life of me can't remember the name of it. He used it for his Thaumcraft building in his lp series

You could add Random Things. It add just such a block, among other neat gadgets for detecting and interacting with players.

I only found "Online detector" in the wiki of that mod, thats not exactly what i need. But oh well, if it's not there ill figure out something different

"Entity detector" is the one you want. It can be used to detect mobs, players etc. in configurable X,Y and Z ranges.

I made a mini "tutorial" on how to easily make automatic doors using it with drawbridges a while ago:

Interesting. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for help @rhn

Edit: It does not look like im able to run the server with this mod.
Edit2: I got the latest version of the mod (2.2.3) , but there is no such item as Entity Detector.

Hmm it actually appears that the Entity Detector was only in up until 1.9 for some weird reason... How sad. What will we all do without it in 1.7? *Picks up doomsayer sign*
Sucks, was one of the best things(if not the best) of the mod.

Yeah.. thats sad. I've looked at other stuff in the mod too and all of the other blocks do not seem interesting at all.
As i said, i might just give up my ideas or find a different way to do it

If you like to automate things, then the Player Interface is amazing. Other than that I like the Fluid Displays, Fertilized Dirt, Coloured Glass and Glowstone lamps and a few other bits and pieces. And there are lots of other cool stuff for use on servers, but I am purely a singleplayer person so don't dabble with those.

I'm fairly sure that Pneumaticraft's Universal Sensor can detect nearby players, as can whichever ComputerCraft addon adds those sensors.
