Diligent Stalker
Diligent Stalker
This Minecraft modification introduces a remote surveillance system using specialized devices called "stalkers". You gain access to remote camera drones, observer arrows, and tools for cave exploration.
Understanding Stalkers
The core component - "StalkerCore" - enables transferring the player's viewpoint to a selected entity, activating panoramic observation mode known as StalkerView.
Created stalkers feature exceptional reliability - they overcome chunk limitations, loading and visualizing surrounding terrain regardless of distance from the user.
Surveillance Arsenal
Observer Drone
- Controllable drone with compact dimensions (smaller than a slab)
- When activated, transfers player's view to itself for remote biome exploration using Creative Mode flight mechanics
- Economically consumes chunks thanks to moderate movement speed
- Requires sugar as fuel - use sneak interaction with sugar for refueling
- Control impossible when outside signal range (configurable)
- Equipped with barrel-sized internal storage (opens with sneak interaction) featuring auto-collection of nearby items
- Unique interface displays signal strength, fuel level, and direction to operator
- Capable of remote block interaction (opening doors, chests up to 1000 blocks away)
Observer Arrow
- Retrievable arrow fired from bow or crossbow
- Shooter's view follows flight trajectory for cinematic footage
- When hitting blocks, secures viewpoint for environmental observation
- Upon hitting entities, transfers view to target for remote tracking
- Returns as item when exiting observation mode
Void Observer
- Projectile ignoring gravity and collisions
- When thrown, user's view follows its flight with temporary Night Vision
- Passes through blocks for scouting nearby caves
- Automatically despawns after 2 seconds
Master Controller
- Control terminal for observer drones
- Sneak interaction with drone performs binding (changeable)
- Item tooltip shows bound drone location
- Long-press use instantly switches view to linked drone
Technical Features
- Observation mode automatically deactivates upon user or stalker death
- Unlike Spectator Mode, provides free camera rotation
- Default chunk loading radius - 3 (configurable)
- Cross-dimensional control impossible
- R key by default exits observation mode
- Inactive stalkers don't load chunks
- Long-press in control prevents loading errors
- Possible lag during rapid movement in observation mode
- Incompatible with entityculling
