About this Mod

This mod adds two blocks.

The first block emits a redstone signal while players are near; the other block emits a redstone signal while mobs are near.

The detection range of either block can be set to a 2-, 4-, 8-, or 16- block spherical radius; this range can by cycled by activating the blocks.

The mob detector can also be set to only detect one type of entity. This can be done by using a slimeball on an entity (either shift-right-clicking the mob or attacking it with the slimeball) to obtain an Imprinted Slimeball, then using the imprint on the mob detector. A filtered mob detector can be reset to detect all entities by using a regular slimeball on it, or breaking the block.

The blocks check for entities at a default rate of once every 10 ticks; this can be changed in the server config.

Frequently Asked Questions

Entity Detectors server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Entity Detectors compatible with forge and neoforge?

Entity Detectors officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Entity Detectors – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Entity Detectors consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
