How to register (create) a controller block

Control Blocks are made by first surrounding an Iron block (can be changed in config.yml) with Redstone and placing a Redstone torch on top.
By left-clicking the block you will register the Control Block, at which time all Redstone and the torch will be consumed by the block.
To unregister the block in creative simply left click it with no items in hand, breaking the block in survival will have the same effect.

How to Edit a Control Block

Editing a Control Blocks are easy to edit, first you will need an active Redstone current leading to the block, this is to prevent two blocks being registered to have the same location.
Then while holding any block in your hand, left click the Control Block if no one else is editing the Control Block you will be editing the block. (Messages will inform you if you are editing a block and with what type of material)
Now whenever you place a block of that material the Control Block will register that block. This is to allow you to use other block types to maneuver around a structure without logging those blocks.
To change materials simply left click the Control Block with the new material in hand.
Removing Blocks is easy, no matter what material you have in hand if you destroy a block while in edit mode it will be unregistered from the Control Block.
To finish editing the Control Block left click it again with the block it is tracking. If the Redstone current is removed, you will be automatically removed from edit mode.
