About this Mod

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

New Items & Blocks

  • Monitor Compass:
    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:
    Reach Enchantment Book
    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

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

  • Jammer:
    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))
  • Dimension Locator:
    Dimension Locator
    Opens the player menu and displays the current dimension of every player on the server. Names are properly localized

  • Hologram Block:
    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:
    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

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

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:
selection menu

  • 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
    • White (Standard): Player can be observed normally

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:
Kamera Overlay

  • 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

Frequently Asked Questions

Bodycam server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Bodycam compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

Bodycam officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Bodycam – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Bodycam consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
