Build and technical notes
- Observer is a redstone or mechanism block. Placement state, neighbouring blocks and power conditions can change its behaviour, so test the final arrangement in the edition used by the world.
- The recorded collision shape is “block”. Collision is a gameplay property, so do not infer it only from the block's visible model.
- Java data contains 12 block-state combinations for Observer. Commands that need one exact orientation or state must specify properties separately from the base ID.
- Its recorded blast resistance is 3; this is separate from hardness and should be used for explosion-risk comparisons.
