 2. Make sure that when you open the folder, you can directly find `README.md` in the listing. If you just see another folder, move that folder up one level and delete the old one.

+The ActionQueue holds functions and actions.

+priority.

+The node detector is a receptor. It changes its state when either any node

+It can also receive digiline signals. For example, you can send
+<code>{distance=4, scanname="default:dirt"}</code>
+to set distance to 4 and scan for dirt. You can omit either parameter.
+There is also a command parameter: <code>{command="get"}</code> will respond
+with the detected nodename and <code>{command="scan"}</code> will respond with
+a boolean using the distance and nodename of the detector.
+Nodenames must include the mod they reside in, so for instance default:dirt, not just dirt.
+The distance parameter specifies how many blocks are between the node detector and the node to detect.
