Making something readable by circuits

If you want to make something readable by Reader Circuits, there are two ways of doing this in the API.

Method 1: Direct implementation

This introduces a hard dependency on Essentials, and your mod will not run without Essentials installed. Make the block of interest implement com.Da_Technomancer.essentials.api.redstone.IReadable.

Method 2: Block registration

This does not introduce a hard dependency on Essentials, assuming you follow best practices for integrating with another mod. For the block of interest, define a new instance of com.Da_Technomancer.essentials.api.redstone.IReadable. Then, register this block as a readable block by calling com.Da_Technomancer.essentials.api.redstone.RedstoneUtil::registerReadable and passing your block and the IReadable instance. This also allows you to make blocks from vanilla or other mods readable.
