Stacks to 64Places a blockComponents 14

The Daylight Detector is an item that players craft from wooden slabs of any type, glass, and Nether Quartz. It stacks up to 64, and placing one puts down a block of the same name.

Players set the item down in the world to use it as a placed block. Because any wooden slab works in the recipe, the crafting is easy to adapt to whatever wood is on hand.
