HB's Satellites

HB’s Satellites - Forge & Fabric 1.20.1 - and more versions soon!

Overview

HB’s Satellites is a Minecraft mod that allows you to view distant lands via the use of a Satellite block and the corresponding Controller and Display blocks for viewing terrain in a futuristic 3D style. The controller block can be used to adjust the viewing area, viewing depth, or height of the display. The terrain is laid out in a beautiful  future looking hologram, but it will take some practice to understand what you’re looking at. Hostile and friendly entities will appear as pings on the satellite as well, these are customizable in the config file.
