Bodycam
by Clasher_HD
Bodycam adds a Monitor item that lets a player watch another player in real time, along with compass-style locator items for finding players across the world.
What it does
The Bodycam Monitor item shows another player live, so a holder can spectate them while they move. Locator items in the same family help a player find others: an Observation Spyglass replaces the earlier Monitor Compass, and a Player Locator points toward a chosen target. Their needle behaves by range: it points directly at a tracked player within range, spins randomly when the target is locked or far away, and spins wildly when a Jammer is used to hide the target.
Cross-dimension tracking points to the nearest portal or gateway when the target is in another dimension, so a tracker can still guide the player through the Nether or End. A Reach Enchantment extends how far the locator items can work. The list of selected players can be changed while the mod runs.
Bodycam is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It needs Architectury API and Fabric API, with Mod Menu as an optional addition. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
