Vista

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

📖 About 📖 Vista adds working screens to Minecraft. Televisions play Cassettes, and can be linked to a Viewfinder placed anywhere in the world to show a live camera feed of it. TVs can be tiled into screens of any size. Screens render through a CRT filter with scanlines, vignette and a turn-on animation. The mod also adds reflective Mirrors, Picture Tapes for displaying maps and photos, and a Wave Gate that streams media from a URL. 🖼️ Media 🖼️ Cinematic trailer: Community review: 📺 Features 📺 Television Needs a redstone signal to turn on Adjacent TVs merge into one big screen, up to 8x8 by default, 24x24 max Accepts cassettes, picture tapes, or a hollow cassette for a live feed Works with hoppers and droppers Shift-click to pause Optionally consumes Forge energy on NeoForge Cassettes Each plays a different looping animation. About 20 are included Dropped by creepers killed by a pillager 3% chance in rare loot chests: woodland mansions, stronghold libraries, jungle temples, igloos, bastions, shipwrecks, nether fortresses, trail ruins, ominous trial chamber rewards Hollow Cassette : bind it to a Viewfinder, then play it in a TV for the live feed Viewfinder Right-click opens its screen: lens slot, pitch and yaw controls, view button Sneak-click to look through it directly Scroll to zoom, click to lock the view A glass pane in the lens slot tints the linked TV's output View distance controllable with redstone Can be aimed by a Supplementaries turntable or a ComputerCraft computer Keeps broadcasting from Create contraptions (NeoForge only) and Sable sublevels Mirror Render a real reflection of the world, not a static texture Tile into larger surfaces, like TVs Placed flush with the block face or recessed into it, depending on where you click Reflect other mirrors recursively, with correct parallax. Depth and quality falloff are configurable Work on Sable sublevels Made with Crystalline , dropped by elder guardians Picture Tape Holds up to 32 pictures and plays them as a slideshow on any TV Right-click to load pictures and set playback speed Accepts filled maps and vanilla paintings, plus Exposure photographs and albums and Joy of Painting canvases Wave Gate Set it to any URL or local file (video, image or GIF) to play it on a linked TV Creative-only by default, craftable via config Needs FFmpeg, which the mod offers to download on first launch, or the WaterMedia mod URL allowlist config for servers Exposed as a ComputerCraft peripheral Misc Looking at an enderman through a TV angers it. Killing an enderman angered this way drops the Sojourn music disc Playing a cassette on a large screen grants the Absolute Cinema advancement ⚙️ Compatibility ⚙️ Mod What you get Supplementaries Mob head shaders in the lens slot, turntable-driven panning ComputerCraft Viewfinder and wave gate peripherals Create Viewfinders broadcasting from moving contraptions (NeoForge only) Sable / Create Aeronautics Viewfinders and mirrors on moving sublevels Exposure Photographs and albums on picture tapes Joy of Painting Painted canvases on picture tapes Vampirism Vampires are not rendered in mirrors or camera feeds Distant Horizons , Sodium , Entity Culling , Flashback , Veil Feeds render correctly when these are installed Iris and Oculus: Vista has visual glitches and degraded performance with Iris installed, even with shader packs off. This can't be fixed from Vista's side. WaterMedia 3.0.0+ changed its API incompatibly, so Vista disables that integration automatically. Stay below 3.0.0 if you need it. 🛠️ For Pack Makers 🛠️ Cassette tapes are a datapack registry, no code needed Put JSON definitions in data//vista/cassette_tape/ and the matching GIF or PNG in a resource pack Definitions support sound and sound_duration See the mod's own tapes for reference Mirrors, picture tapes and the wave gate can each be disabled entirely in the config, along with screen size limits and the rendering pipeline Modding takes a lot of my time. If you like what I do and want to support me, you'll receive a custom Globe and/or Statue just for you - this also applies if you buy a server from Akliz using the code below. Need a server? Akliz offers top-tier servers built for modded Minecraft, with a great community and support team. Use code "supplementaries" to get 20% off and support me at the same time!

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for ModJam 2025 on Fabric, NeoForge, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Jul 23, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
