Observers

I think that observers should send out a pulse when anything happens in front of the face of the observer e.g players, items dropping and minecarts and boats being placed down in front of the face of the observer.

    A string in front of an observer will make it “see” a player. A pressure plate can detect items. Detector rails detect minecarts. Not sure about the boats, but I imagine the string in front of observer works as well.
    I see where you are coming from, but if an observer could observe all these things, all the time, they would be a massive hassle to work with, trying to avoid “being seen” as you are hoping around in your redstone wiring.
