Display Link Controller

A Create add-on for combining readings from multiple threshold switches into one mechanical controller.

Features

• Collect inputs from Create Display Links attached to threshold switches.
• Choose average fill percentage or total item count as the controller's aggregate output.
• See each connected input's label, reading and brass fill bar in the controller screen.
• Output two rows per input to a Create display board: a labeled reading and a pixel-flap progress bar.
• Enable, disable or remove inputs individually.
• Threshold switches automatically face an adjacent controller when placed.
• Six authored brass brain pieces animate in a single 0.3-second wave when a signal arrives.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47, and Create 6.0.8. Install the mod on both client and server. Create: Connected and Create: Power Loader are optional companion mods, not requirements.

Setup

1. Put a threshold switch on each storage block you want to monitor.
2. Attach a display link to each switch and target the Display Link Controller.
3. Open the controller to review inputs and select average-fill or total-count output.
4. To display all inputs on a flap board, attach an output link directly to the controller and select Connected Inputs + Fill Bars. An output link on a threshold switch watching the controller can instead use Controller Inputs / Threshold Value.
5. Allow two board rows per input. Two inputs need four rows: a board at least two blocks tall.

The controller can read any supported threshold-switch input; it does not change storage capacities or automatically load distant chunks.
