# Server Redstone Block
## Description
Ever had redstone contraptions break on you due to a server restart?
This block acts as a normal redstone block but the server admins can trigger a warning state and an off state at will.
This can give time for the contraptions to shut down gracefully before a server shutdown.
## Usage
You have to have it installed **both on the server and the client** side as it adds a new block.
> ### Why do you need it on the client side too?
>
> Believe me, I've tried to make this a server-only mod. The issue is: player experience.
> Using only vanilla items and solutions that work from 1.18.2 upwards makes it very difficult to create a solution that is easy to grasp as a player. Imagine using a bunch of redstone blocks in your build but one of them is a "special" block that gets turned off. We need some sort of a visual clue so that you could identify the block in question.
>
> With the client side present, we have the option of custom textures and custom block behaviour which makes it very straight forward to use.
>
> ### Do you think you can solve this issue?

> If you're a mod developer and you think you have a solution for this, please get in touch. I'm very interested in a good solution!
### Player
As a player, you can use the block as a normal redstone block.
#### Crafting
You can craft it with a regular redstone block and a lever.
#### Redstone Output
- **On**: 15 power
- **Warning**: 1 power
- **Off**: 0 power
#### Recommended use for players
Use the above power states to react. Things that usually break the most on a restart are minecart and flying machine based contraptions.
You can use the block to add in a check if you should start a next run of your system.
You could outright use it as a power source that will shut off when need to. Just make sure that your system doesn't run longer than the time it warns you of an impeding restart.
### Admin
To control the block, you need to have a permission level of 4.
When the server starts, the blocks always start in the ON state.
#### Commands
- `/srs on` : Sets the block to the on state
- `/srs warning` : Sets the block to the warning state
- `/srs off` : Sets the block to the off state
#### Recommended use
If you have scheduled restarts on your server, I recommend having the automation issue a `srs warning` 5 minutes before the restart.
That signals to the contraptions that if it's a fast system, it could still run. Otherwise caution.
Around 1-2 minutes before the restart/shutdown, you should issue a `srs off` to make sure that all running contraptions have time to settle down.
## Telemetry
The mod collects minimal **anonymous** telemetry to help the decision making when maintaining the mod. You can see what is collected [here](https://github.com/meza/ServerRedstoneBlock/blob/main/src/main/java/gg/meza/serverredstoneblock/Telemetry.java))
## Get in touch
I'm very curious to learn how you use this. Please drop by discord if you have any questions or feedback [https://discord.gg/dvg3tcQCPW](https://discord.gg/dvg3tcQCPW)
I'd also like to hear from server owners if there's anything else I could help with.
