PC/Console/Mobile/tModLoader/tModLoader 1.3-Legacy-Only Content: This information applies only to the PC, Console, Mobile, tModLoader, and tModLoader Legacy versions of Terraria.

Sensors are Hardmode mechanisms that emit a signal under specific circumstances. There are 7 different types of sensors, split into 2 sub-categories: Logic Sensors and Liquid Sensors.

Types

Sensor		Tooltip
	Logic Sensor (Day) Internal Item ID: 3613	Activates once day starts
	Logic Sensor (Night) Internal Item ID: 3614	Activates once night starts
	Logic Sensor (Player Above) Internal Item ID: 3615	Activates whenever players are over it, deactivates otherwise
	Liquid Sensor (Water) Internal Item ID: 3726	Activates whenever occupied by water, deactivates otherwise
	Liquid Sensor (Lava) Internal Item ID: 3727	Activates whenever occupied by lava, deactivates otherwise
	Liquid Sensor (Honey) Internal Item ID: 3728	Activates whenever occupied by honey, deactivates otherwise
	Liquid Sensor (Any) Internal Item ID: 3729	Activates whenever occupied by liquid, deactivates otherwise

Notes

The Player Above sensor detects players in a 5×10-tile area above the sensor. In multiplayer, it will not send another signal if a player enters the detection zone while another player is already in it.
- It will not trigger if placed while the player is inside the detection area. Instead, it will trigger upon leaving the detection zone.
- Dead players or Hardcore Ghosts will trigger the detector.

-== Player Above Sensor ==
+== Notes ==
+* The Player Above sensor detects players in a 5×10-tile area above the sensor. In [[multiplayer]], it will not send another signal if a player enters the detection zone while another player is already in it.
-It has a 5 blocks wide and 10 blocks tall detection zone. Their detection zone is actually about 1-2 pixels bigger than that.
+** It will not trigger if placed while the player is inside the detection area. Instead, it will trigger upon leaving the detection zone.
+** {{eicons|Logic Sensor (Player Above)|not=1.4.2}} Dead players or [[Ghost|Hardcore Ghosts]] will trigger the detector.
+== History ==
-When a player moves into the zone, it sends a signal. When a player exits the zone, it also sends a signal.

-Note : '''In multiplayer''', if one player moves into the zone, and then another enters the same zone while the first player is still in the zone, the sensor will not send another signal, making it useful for automatic doors in multiplayer (where multiple players may pass the same door). The Player Above sensor will also trigger on the position of dead players until they respawn, which should be considered during Expert Mode planning in particular.
