The Controller Block can adjust:

  • Viewing area
  • Viewing depth

  • When "Firing" the weapon, the weapon stored inside is triggered and a message is sent to the Target Receiver
  • The only currently supported weapon is a Redstone torch which sets a Waypoint in the world

Target Receiver Bock

  • receives the set location from the Target Controller Block and emit a redstone signal when the Target Controller "Fired"

The terrain appears as a 3D semi-holographic diorama, letting players explore and monitor vast stretches of land remotely.
