Hbs Satellites

A satellite block can be placed anywhere and streams a live feed to controller display blocks, so a player can watch a remote stretch of land without travelling there. Across the surface, the land is rendered as a semi-holographic three-dimensional diorama that players can move through and keep watch over. Hostile and friendly entities show up as pings on the feed, and the viewing area, depth and height can be adjusted with controller blocks. A target controller block emits a redstone signal when it is fired on, and a redstone torch can set a waypoint that a target receiver uses as the location.

Several displays can be attached to one satellite, so a single feed can be shown in more than one place. Satellite upgrades are craftable and extend what a satellite can show. Ping behaviour for entities is set in a customizable config file. The mod requires Balm and HB's Foundation, and Hbs Satellites Compatability Mod depends on it.

The mod runs on client and server. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
