The Detector Block "sees" any block, item, character, mob or plant in front of it and emits an redstone signal.

Applications
- Automation
- Any farming of a at least two block high plant/tree
- Railway stations
- Light activation
- Mobgrinders
- Elevators (due to a minor bug in 2.60 this will not work with moving platforms)
- Intrusion detection
- Traps
Keep in Mind
- The Block's orientation must face the position where you want to detect something.
