Bodycam

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

New Items & Blocks

• Observation Spyglass (formerly 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

• Player Locator:
  
  Track down other players in real time! Right-click the compass to open a GUI and select a target player. Features 5 dynamic needle states:

• 🔵 Idle (Spins randomly when no target is locked)
• 🟢 Active Tracking (Points directly to the target when in range)
• 🟡 Out of Range (Spins wildly when the player is too far away)
• 🟠 Cross-Dimension (Points to the nearest portal/gateway to guide you to their dimension)
• 🔴 Jammed (Spins wildly if the target uses a Jammer to hide)

• Reach Enchantment:
  
  The standard Observation Spyglass and Player Locator have a limited range.
  Apply the custom Reach enchantment to bypass the Observation Spyglasses distance limit and connect to players even across different dimensions or for the Player Locator point to the nearest portal/gateway and bypass the distance limit

• Observation Crystal:
  
  This crystal is strictly required as a core component to craft all bodycam items and blocks

• Observation Crystal Block:
  
  A compact storage and decorative block made of Observation Crystals (Light Level 5)

• Jammer:
  
  Blocks signals to prevent being observed
  Features 3 dynamic modes:

  • 🔴 Off (everyone can observe you)
  • 🟢 On (no one can observe you)
  • 🔵 Limited (observation range is limited (std: 500 Blocks))

• 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
  Features 2 modes:

  • 🔴 Off
  • 🟢 On

• 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

New Observation Crystal Trim

Apply the Observation Crystal to your armor at a Smithing Table for a new fresh look. This comes also with a new feature:

Glow in the Dark

Makes your armour glow in the dark and even cooler (Note: looks even better with shaders)

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.
This features 2 variants:

• Compass Dummy: Any damage the dummy takes is applied directly to you. If your dummy dies, you die as well. Your Items will be at the Dummys death location
• Hologram Dummy: Completely immortal

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

Selection Menu (observing)

Interacting with the Monitor Compass or Hologram Block will open a selection menu window with smooth scrolling. It will show all players on the server with name and player face:

• 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: Playernames 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
  • 🟡Yellow (Third Highest Priority): Player is out of reach (only when no reach)
  • ⚪White (Standard): Player can be observed normally

Selection Menu (Player locator)

Interacting with the Player locator will open a selection menu window like the observing variant:

• Dynamic Status Colors: Playernames in the menu have the following colors:
  • 🟢 In Range
  • 🟡 Out of Range
  • 🟠 Other Dimension
  • 🔴 Jammed

Players can also be deselected or changed

Immersive Camera Overlay

Adds a slightly transparent, darkened frame around the edge of the screen heavily enhances the authentic camera aesthetic. HUD elements (name of the observed player, your health, and sneak status) are seamlessly integrated and clearly visible:

• Focus on Immersion: The crosshair is strictly hidden during observation

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