Tutorials/Resetting item detector

The Resetting Item Detector is a small, simple, and useful mechanism. It is used to detect items with redstone and also resets the detector without having to grab the item or wait for the item to despawn.

Necessary Materials

 * 1 wooden pressure plate
 * 1 fence or nether brick fence
 * redstone materials

Recommended

 * a block that fences doesn't attach to (glowstone)

Instructions
Place a fence below a wooden pressure plate. On the same level of the pressure plate, add redstone for the current to pass through. Then surround the sides of the fence with the block that fences doesn't attach to.

Advantages

 * Don't have to reset

Disadvantages

 * Have to use more complex redstone to use. - Correction, * No red stone is actually needed for this, the note block could have been placed next to the pressure plate and worked.
 * Items can get stuck on the center of the fence post if dropped from above the pressure plate.
 * Not as efficient as using entity detector (replaced pressure plate with string. vid coming soon.)
