Additions

• Added the redstone comparator
  • Has 2 inputs and 1 output
  • If A≥B, the output will be A, otherwise it will stay off – When the comparator is toggled, it will output full strength instead of A it will subtract B from A and need a comparator as input for B
  • Replacement for the capacitor
  • Whichever side gives the bigger signal will be considered signal B
• Added the daylight sensor block
• Added a hopper block
  • Places and takes out items in hoppers, chests, furnaces, minecarts with chests, dispensers, and brewing stands.
  • Allows for the automation of many processes
  • Still a work in progress (as indicated by the inventory icon).
• Added a trapped chest that activates redstone
  • Gives out a signal depending on the amount of players looking inside. 1 person = 1 strength signal, 2 people = 2, etc.
  • Crafted with a chest and a tripwire hook.
  • Large trapped chests can be staggered with large chests to allow more compact storage.
  • Texture is slightly different than a normal chest, with a red stain around the latch.
• Added weighted pressure plates that detects item stacks
