How to detect proximity of two entities?
I am trying to detect if an item is near a player. How can I do this? Also, if possible, how do you in general detect the proximity of two entities?
Best Answer
You can test for items nearby a player
/execute @a ~ ~ ~ testfor @e[r=RADIUS]
For other commands just use the r=RADDIUS selector.

What kind of sensor do we need to measure the distance between two objects?
Ultrasonic sensors can measure the distance to a wide range of objects regardless of shape, color or surface texture. They are also able to measure an approaching or receding object. By using \u201cnon-contact\u201d ultrasonic sensors, distances can be measured without damage to the object.Which sensor can detect near by objects?
Inductive Sensors Inductive proximity sensors can only be used to detect metallic objects. The sensor has its own electromagnetic field which gets disrupted when a metal object comes near it. This disruption indicates the presence of an object.What is a distance sensor?
Distance sensors (or proximity sensors) generally work by outputting a signal of some kind, (eg laser, IR LED, ultrasonic waves) and then reading how it has changed on its return. That change may be in the intensity of the returned signal or the time it takes the signal to return.Which of the following proximity sensors can detect only the metallic objects?
Inductive proximity sensors can only detect metal targets. They do not detect non-metal targets such as plastic, wood, paper, and ceramic. Unlike photoelectric sensors, this allows a inductive proximity sensors to detect a metal object through opaque plastic.DETECT NEARBY ENTITIES in Vanilla Minecraft 1.10+ | Proximity Detectors Command Block Creation
