Force Field

[novel notch]

Additions: Adds a force field block + Hacker tool.
Features: This block allows you to generate a force field. The size can be modified within the block, and the color can be changed using a lens (the camouflage module takes priority over the lens). A button allows you to activate/deactivate the force field. This block can only be modified/destroyed by the owner using the basic tool. If a player crosses the force field, an alert will indicate the exact coordinates in the chat (except for whitelisted players). The force field block can be hacked by other players using a new item: the "hacking tool." It has the same durability as the code cracker, but you must solve a mini-game to successfully hack it and only activate/deactivate the force field.

Modules: Modules can be added:

Intelligence: Allows you to activate/deactivate the desired modules, and choose whether only players/mobs/both are detected. It also allows you to modify the damage output of the damage module.
Redstone: Sends a redstone current if a player/entity passes through the force field. It can also send a reverse signal using a button.
Camouflage: Allows you to camouflage the entire force field with the block of your choice. If the square is empty and there are no lenses, it will be invisible.
Damage: Deals damage to players/mobs that pass through the force field.
Whitelist: Allows a player to pass through the force field without restriction.
Blacklist: Prevents the player from passing through the force field or kills them instantly.

This seems like a mix of laser block + inventory scanner + portable radar, but being able to make the field invisible.

By default (so with no modules installed), all the force field does is send a message? And the hacking tool would just disable that?

[novel notch]

yes but the owner can activate or deactivate the force field and change the color all this without modules

I kinda like this as almost an early-mid game defense, generating a quick and simple "base" when you aren't at the point in the game where you can build an actual fully functional base yet

Or to protect a build site where your fully-featured base is still a WIP

Because with an allowlist module it basically becomes a reinforced dome that only the owner(s) can pass through, or an early warning system

Quite an interesting idea

That’s a block pocket

No, it's a real block that you place on the ground. It's when you right-click on it that the owner can configure it. On the other hand, the hacker tool is an item like the code cracker.
