WELCOME TO THE FUTURE!

Well, Minecraft’s future at least…

This mod adds two new tech inspired blocks to your game, starring Televisions and “cameras”.

Its main function is allowing to remotely monitor area of your world using television and cameras blocks.

The added blocks are:

Televisions:

• Need to be powered on by redstone
• Can be linked to a view finder through a hollow cassette to view what it sees
• Can accept and display cassettes or hollow cassettes
• Can be connected in any square size
• Can be interacted with droppers and hoppers to swap cassettes
• Shift click on a tv to pause it

Cassette:

• Can be dropped by creepers killed by a pillager arrow
• Will also rarely be found in chests
• Each plays a unique gif. Collect them all!
• Insert them in a TV to play them
• New ones can be added with datapack & resource packs.

Hollow Cassette:

• Crafted with a Cassette and Echo Shard
• Use it on a view finder to link it to it
• Can be inserted in a TV to view the view finder content

View Finder:

• Can be interacted with to see a particular view
• Click to lock it while using it
• Scroll to zoom
• Can have glass panes applied to have the linked TV get a particular tint effects
• Can also equip mob heads when supplementaries is on to have the linked tv use the respective mob head shaders
• Can be rotated remotely using a supplementaries turn table
• View distance can be changed with redstone

Wave Gate:

• A creative only block that can accept a URL
• When linked with a hollow cassette to a tv it will display that URL onto the TV
• Configs exist to make it craftable and usable in creative
• Valid links must be direct urls to any kind of media (i.e. .gif , .mp4, etc.)

Note: The mod has degraded visuals when using IRIS mod. This is something iris would have to fix. For best experience don’t use Iris shaderpacks. The mod will have fancy crt shaders and tv turn on effects
