OOOOOHHHH ME HAS AN IDEA!!!!!
Ok, Here it is:
You make a really cool hardened camera thing.
You make the body like this:
O O O
O G O
O O O
O=Obsidian
G=glass
then a lense:
- G -
G G G
- G -
-=nothing
and a control circuit:
C gl go
gl go R
go R I
C=cactus green
gl=glowstone dust
go=gold ingot
R=redstone
I=iron ingot
And then you assemble it like this:
- L -
- CC-
-CA-
L=lens
CC=control circuit
CA=Casing
So what you do is you can craft this with any item. Let's say iron ore. First, you charge the camera with MJ or EU. Then you craft it with the iron ore. Then you pump it into a BC pipe. It records what it sees, forward-facing. When it goes into a machine, it just says, e.g.: pulverising... and then the camera is still in the iron dust. When it goes into a furnace: Smelting... Then it, for example, goes into a auto crafting machine of one kind or another. Let's say to make iron boots. It says: crafting... Then, it's put in a chest. It gives you an option to skip the time spent in storage, while it says: in storage... Then when a player takes it out, if it's on their hotbar or they're wearing it, then it shows the player's view. Only the person who crafted the camera knows it's there, so it could be used for spying on people. The camera uses all its charge as soon as you take it out of the item, giving a reason to be charged. You can also use a wireless tracker in teh recipe for finding the camera afterwards.
Now, I'm no modder, I know nothing of code, and I don't expect any modder to do this, although it would be cool.
I'd love it if people could say what they think of my idea, I might try posting it on Lambert's thread
