ScannerBlockTool

The scanner block will report the position of the closest item it has detected (player, mobile chunk or mob). By interacting with it you can select what its scanning for, here you can see it detecting the player and reporting their (relative to the scanner) location. Note its outputting a vector, many of the logic blocks work on vector data (which can make builds much smaller) but there are blocks available to split a vector out into 3 signals.

Scan modes override[ | ]

This is a Future feature.

Its possible to override the normal scanner behaviour by passing a signal to it. Similar to other blocks that have behaviour overrides these should be passed as all capitals comma seperated and ending with a colon. For example:
