Signal Display

Wish you could view the count of a signal on a display? Now you can!

With this mod placing a pair of square brackets [] in the message of a Display will cause it to display the count of the signal currently selected as the icon. Only the first pair of square brackets will be replaced with the count of the signal.

You can also enable the use of rich text formatting in the mod settings to update any rich text item within the message. To get the amount of a rich text item it must be immediately followed by a pair of square brackets [], for example [item=iron-place][]. You can have as many rich text items as you want in the message.

Only displays that are on active surfaces will be updated. Under the context of the mod, an active surface is any surface that a player is currently viewing.

Examples
