Template:BlockTileEntity

A Daylight Sensor is a block for use with redstone circuitry, planned to be added in the Redstone Update. It emits a redstone signal if it is bright enough (sunlight level) to do so. The strength of the redstone signal varies by the time of day. For example, the sensor will emit redstone for 15 blocks at midday but roughly 5 blocks at evening. The daylight detector emits a redstone current to any/all blocks placed directly (within 1 block) above/below/next to it.

If the Daylight Sensor has a block above it, then it will emit a weaker, or no signal, as it is directly proportional to the sky light, which can be useful for controlling light levels with redstone lamps and pistons to cover and uncover the sensor. Using a NOT gate (also known as an inverted Redstone signal) can reverse the sensor's signal, creating a "night sensor." This can, for example, allow redstone lamps to come on at night and off during daytime.

Uses

As a nighttime detector

By connecting the sensor to a NOT Gate(inverter), it will output a signal when the light level is LESS than 4, so you can for example make lights that turn on at night.

As Decoration

Because energy is not something currently measured in minecraft, you can use the sensor for decoration.

As a clock

Because you can measure exactly what light level it is, you can make a clock. For example, for every light level it is, 1 light goes on a board. When it is night, no redstone signal is produced. This can be useful for servers, especially if you do not have the ability to create one using piston memory.

As a signal

The daylight sensor can easily be used to signal things at different times of day. With command blocks in the game, it can do many more things, like broadcast messages or change everyone's gamemodes (For whatever reason). Below are different methods for it.

Mining signal

If you are mining and you want to come up at a time of day, you can connect the day light sensor and make it either send a redstone pulse down your mine or broadcast a command block message.

Command block command for message:

/say <message>

NOTE: On servers this will broadcast a message to the entire server. So use this command:

/tell <your name> <message>

As a server signal

Message

You can send out a message to the entire server at a certain point of day. The command block command for this is:

/say <message>

OR

/tell <player> <message>

First broadcasts a message to the server, second one tells a message to a player.

Using for competitions

If you carefully time the different light levels (or use the table) you can set a competition of perhaps who can get the closest to the daylight sensor before the light level reaches 15.

Simply connect the daylight sensor 15 blocks away from a command block (And put a repeater to the side going to a second command block, see below) Then enter this to the first command block:

/say @p has won and is closest to the sensor before light level 15!

You can then give a prize to the winner by entering this into the second one (in this example, the prize is three stone):

/give @p 1 3

Output

These tables link output values to the time they occur as well as co-occurring light levels. Note that while the sensor responds to changes in light level, the light level only modulates a separate scale that more or less follows sunlight. This modulation does make the tables invalid if the sensor doesn't have a direct view of the sky.

A '''bundle''' is an [[item]] that can store up to a stack's worth of mixed [[item]] types within itself in a single [[inventory]] slot. Items that stack to 16 occupy more space within the bundle, and items that do not stack occupy the entire bundle without allowing space for any other items.

|2=Item stack sizes (top row) and the number of bundle slots they take up (middle row). Sticks stack to 64, so they take up one bundle slot; ender pearls stack to 16, so they take up four; and swords do not stack, so they take up the whole bundle. So, for instance, a bundle may have 32 sticks and 8 ender pearls inside (bottom), which take up a total of {{Tooltip|(32×1)|32 Sticks}}+{{Tooltip|(8×4)|8 Ender Pearls}}=64 bundle slots.
}}
Bundles are used to store different [[item|item type]]s in the same [[inventory]] slot. This does not, however, increase the total capacity of the slot: each bundle has 64 "bundle slots" and each item placed in the bundle takes up these slots similar to how they take up space in a normal inventory slot: items that stack to 64 take up 1 bundle slot, items that stack to 16 (for example, [[egg]]s) take up 4, and items that do not stack (such as tools/weapons/armor) take up the whole bundle, all 64 slots.

Although bundles themselves cannot be stacked, a bundle can be placed inside another (nested): the inner bundle itself uses 4 slots plus the number of slots already occupied by the items in that bundle.<ref>{{bug|MC-203567||Bundles can be placed inside of bundles|WAI}}</ref>  

To place items inside a bundle, either (1) pick up the bundle in the inventory and right-click on the item(s) to be placed inside or (2) pick up the item(s) and right-click on the bundle. When placing bundles inside another bundle, the interface uses the first method: picking up Bundle A and right clicking on Bundle B attempts to store Bundle B inside A.  

Bundles can be {{ctrl|used}} inside the inventory to take out the last item put in. In this way, items are accessible LIFO (last in, first out). When {{ctrl|used}} outside the inventory, it dumps all the items out into the world.

Hovering over the bundle shows its contained items in its inventory slots. The number of bundle slots used is displayed as ''<fullness>''/64 in the tooltip. If the bundle is full, then the empty slots are greyed out with an <span class="invslot">{{SlotSprite|Bundle full}}</span>.

[[Shulker box]]es cannot be placed inside of bundles.

The '''dragon's breath''' is a [[brewing]] item that is used solely to make [[lingering potion]]s.

== Obtaining ==

The dragon's breath can be obtained by scooping  up the [[ender dragon]]'s breath attack or the purple [[area effect cloud|effect clouds]] caused by [[dragon fireball]]s in an empty [[glass bottle]].

== Usage ==

=== Brewing ingredient ===

Dragon's breath may be added to any splash potion to upgrade it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a lasting [[Lingering Potion#Area Effect Cloud|area effect cloud]], or to craft [[Arrow#Tipped arrows|tipped arrows]].
{{brewing
  |name=[[Lingering Potion]]
  |showname=1
  |Dragon's Breath
  |Any Lingering Potion
  |base=Any Splash Potion}}

When put 2 or more dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, a glass bottle will drop as an [[Item (entity)|entity]]. However, if put only 1 dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, the glass bottle is consumed and cannot be retrieved.<ref>{{bug|MC-259583}}</ref>

Daylight detectors were added to the game.

Bugs

  • Covering a sensor completely will cause it to glitch and turn on at night. (as well as day)

Trivia

  • Daylight Sensors only work by sunlight and cannot be activated by other light sources such as luminescent blocks or torches.
  • Daylight Sensors are less than a slab tall, which is like redstone repeaters, redstone comparators and trapdoors.
  • A daylight sensor connected to a powered dispenser via redstone wire will cause the dispenser to fire every time the light level changes.
  • Rain will affect the sensor.
  • Daylight Sensors, as well as most redstone technology, appear more similar to modern technology compared to most other blocks.
  • Daylight Sensors can be used as fuel in furnaces.
