I had an idea for a recipe using the eye of ender. The end result would be a, for lack of a better term, camera. It wouldn't look like a camera but more like a crystal ball (blasphemy) on a tripod of sorts. It would require 2 being placed in different areas. By right clicking one you would essentially be "teleported" to the other one. It's not a true teleportation as you cannot move using wsad, but you can move using your mouse. This way you could look around an area much further away. For more than 2, every right click would cycle to the next until you're back to the one you started on.
Uses
For those that tend to build huge, they could check on farms (or other things that take time to grow or finish) that might be much farther away. It could be used outside to make sure things are safe before coming out. The multiplayer uses would be much more fun. Being able to spy on others or make watch towers to prepare for raiders seems fun. Also, it would be fun to play with and could be aesthetically pleasing making a great addition to your rooms.
Recipe
This may be too cheap but I was thinking an eye of ender surrounded by glass and three sticks along the bottom. All together it would cost
- Eye of ender x1
- Glass x5
- stick x3
Potential Problems
There are a lot of things that would need to be considered in order to implement something like this.
The whole of all you have explored is not all loaded at once. This would mean that you would actually have to be teleported and the restricted from moving. I believe this could be coded but the problem lies in that, upon "teleportation" what happens to your character in the original spot. This might cause some problems in multiplayer making people invincible as long as they're viewing through their device or problems if the other side gets destroyed.
The recipe is too cheap. People could easily make tons of these and it might get out of hand. A solution would be to make it much more expensive, for example, using a nether star (might be too expensive lol) or diamonds instead of glass.
What happens when one person right clicks another's. Having every device connected regardless of who placed it would be ludicrous. It would have to be limited to the person who placed it. Or only connected to the ones placed by the user. So your friend could use yours but he/she would only see through the ones you've created and placed. Or perhaps by using yours he/she only accesses the ones they placed similar to the way enderchests work.
Additional notes
The reason I chose the eye of ender is because it seems to fit the theme. Considering the enderchests and how the enderpearls work I thought it fitting.
If there is already a mod with something like this then I apologize for wasting your time and feel very humiliated right now lol.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for reading
Wow... it's been almost 4 days and not a single view. I seriously have no online charisma.

Support this if you're interested in reducing lag whilst simultaneously expanding the game.
