This mod introduces a Bodycam Monitor item that allows you to spectate other players in real-time.

New version 2.0 is out now:

New Items, Blocks & Crafting System

All mod items now have their own dedicated creative tab. There are completely new crafting recipes for all mod items, which are built around a new core resource:

• Monitor Compass: Right-click the monitor to open a list of active players. Simply select a name from the menu to instantly view the world through their perspective
• Reach Enchantment: The standard Monitor Compass has a limited range. Apply the custom Reach enchantment to bypass the distance limit and connect to players even across different dimensions

Only version 2.0

• Observation Crystal: The new base item of the mod. This crystal is strictly required as a core component to craft all other technical bodycam items and blocks
• Jammer: Blocks signals to prevent being observed. Features 3 dynamic modes: Off (everyone can observe), On (no one can observe), and Limited (observation range is limited)
• Dimension Locator: Opens the player menu and displays the current dimension of every player on the server. Names are properly localized
• Hologram Block: Allows starting an observation directly from the world. Just sneak on it, right-click, and the menu opens. This leaves behind a special Hologram Dummy that is completely immortal and cannot be attacked
• Anonymizer: The perfect stealth tool. Hides your own observer status from others. If you have this item active, you won't show up as Blue in other players' menus, but will remain an inconspicuous White or Red

Brand New Compass Dummy & Damage Logic (Damage Sync)

• Physical Dummy: While you are spectating, a physical dummy of your character remains exactly where you left it, keeping your inventory and armor in the world
• Shared Health: Your connection is absolute, any damage the dummy takes is applied directly to you. If your dummy dies, you die as well

Only version 2.0

The core engine under the hood was completely rewritten: Instead of wildly teleporting the real player back and forth for damage calculation, you now remain safely in the camera view.

• The Dummy in the world now takes the actual damage and synchronizes it 1:1 with the real player on the server side (Note: The Hologram Dummy is an exception, as it is completely immortal).
• This also applies to death: If the regular dummy dies, the player dies cleanly along with it, and the observation is correctly terminated for everyone.

Simple Voice Chat Support

This mod is fully compatible with Simple Voice Chat. When you are in the camera view, hearing will behave as if you are at the location of the player you are spectating

Only version 2.0

The New GUI & Selection Menu

• New Design: The selection menu is now a true window with smooth scrolling. For better orientation, the player's face (like in the TAB list) is displayed right next to the name.
• Smart Button System: Observation buttons are dynamically grayed out when:
  • The target is out of range (over 500 blocks) or in another dimension.
  • The target has a Jammer set to Active or Limited (and is out of range).
  • You are currently being observed by that specific person.
• Dynamic Status Colors: Players in the menu are automatically color-coded:
  • Blue (Highest Priority): Player is currently observing you.
  • Red (Second Highest Priority): Player cannot be observed due to a Jammer.
  • White (Standard): Player can be observed normally.

The New, Immersive Camera Overlay

The visual experience during observation has been massively upgraded to create a true bodycam feeling:

• Refreshed Overlay: The camera elements have been visually overhauled. A new, slightly transparent, darkened frame around the edge of the screen heavily enhances the authentic camera aesthetic. The Vanilla HUD elements (name of the observed player, your health, and shift/sneak status) remain seamlessly integrated and clearly visible
• Focus on Immersion: The crosshair is strictly hidden during observation

All versions

• Safe Return: Simply press sneak (Shift) to end the camera connection and safely return to your own body

Config System (Client & Server)

• Ingame Client Config: Players can now adjust their own settings directly in the game via the mod menu (including a scroll menu and reset button). Here, individual camera overlays (Name, Health, Shift) can be specifically toggled on and off. Additionally, all GUI colors can be personalized via hex code (including a live color preview)
• Server Config (Host Only): Full control for server admins. The maximum monitor distance is adjustable (Default: 500). All new items as well as the Reach enchantment can be completely disabled. Furthermore, there is an OP-Only mode that unlocks the mod functions exclusively for server operators
