MOJANG FINALLY DID IT!!! ...Sort of.

yeah it's snapshot time so a while ago I made two videos about why skulk sensors are pretty bad the idea is nice but the execution left something to be desired and now eight months later Mojang is finally giving them some attention in the new snapshot you can now craft a calibrated skulk sensor and you calibrate it using Redstone signal strength so this is single strength one and now it's only going to listen out for my footsteps anything else and it doesn't do anything so is the skulk sensor finally fixed no I don't know if Mojang watched my video but regardless I pointed out five things wrong with the skulk sensor and this snapshot only fixes one of them now don't get me wrong skull calibration is nice but it's not gonna fix the skulk sensor on its own all that's really changed is that we can now reliably open a door with it it's not really groundbreaking the sculk sensor still produces a two second long pulse which is way too long for any reasonable Redstone application and by extension it makes the cooldown really long as well it only needs to be two game ticks long which is 0.1 seconds also it still doesn't strong power through blocks so you can't properly occlude it with wool you always need it to have one side open but now with the calibrated skull sensor you need to have three sides open one side for the calibration one side for where you send the power and one side open if you want to waterlog it which silences it if you don't have this hole in the ground the water will spill outwards and destroy all of the Redstone I also pointed out a bug with the skull sensor's timing this piston is supposed to extend one game tick before this piston but when I actually do it they extend at the same time but then if I add a repeater here and then add one more tick here to compensate for this one now this one extends first so it's impossible to get a one game tick delay with this thing you always have to add a repeater to get the correct timing which you shouldn't have to do and another problem I pointed out is that there are too many things the skulk sensor can detect the calibrations are based on Redstone signal strength which means there's only 15 of them while there are 42 different triggers which is way too many to cram into just 15 calibrations some of these have four or five different things they detect so it's not really calibrating it it's just narrowing things down a bit when Galster was making the better skulk sensor mod we decided to use items to calibrate the skulk sensor because this lets you have more calibrations and it future proofs the block because down the line Mojang will inevitably add more blocks and mobs that this thing can detect which will bloat it even more than it currently is they also added a new mechanic skulk sensors used to always send vibrations to other skull sensors that were nearby but now they'll only do that if you put an amethyst block between them so I guess this might be useful if you want to pack lots of skulk sensors close to each other but it only works if they're calibrated the same you can't mix and match them this one's 15 and this one's one and now it doesn't respond anymore now obviously this is a snapshot this isn't the final product and Mojang can still change things but with the calibrations being this far into development I don't really see Mojang backtracking and changing to the item calibrations but there's still room to fix the pulse length the water logging the strong powering and the timing bug and that's basically everything if Mojang makes any more skulk sensor changes then I'll probably cover them subscribe
