This unassuming Minecraft sign checks to see if your friends are playing on your favorite Minecraft server(Java) and notifies you through custom colored LED lights!

This video walks you thru how to set it up and hopefully inspires you to use a unique controller of your own! 🙂

I used the following links to help get this idea off of the ground! Hopefully they can help you too!
