The Controller Block can adjust:

• Viewing area

Target Controller Block

• Target any position on the map and a hint will show the exact block position
• When "Firing" the weapon, the weapon stored inside is triggered and a message is sent to the Target Receiver

• 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.
Hostile and friendly entities appear as pings on the satellite feed — customizable in the config file.
