Reality Vision

• Equipped via the "helmet" armor slot.
• When equipped, it shows a minimap in the bottom-center of the screen (which moves when the player's camera moves).
  • The minimap shows all chunks that are currently rendered.
  • The player's location is represented by a green beacon beam marker on the map.
• Will make a sound when equipped.
• Displays vision overlay (similar to the pumpkin overlay).
  • The overlay will change to a new overlay if the player goes into third person (unlike the pumpkin overlay), making the screen appear like an old television screen.
  • The overlay is called cantseeshitcaptain.png in the assets folder.
• Activates a shader when equipped (scan_pincushion).
• Signs display the text "OBEY" while glasses are equipped, a reference to the movie They Live.

Ankle Monitor

• Equipped via the "boots" armor slot.
• Will make a sound each time the player gets a notification.
• When equipped in Survival mode, they can't be taken off.
  • Can be taken off in Creative mode.
  • This behavior was later introduced into Minecraft with the 1.11 snapshot 16w39a, in the form of the Curse of Binding enchantment.
• Gives the player Slowness I effect when equipped.
• If the player moves too far from the world spawn at nighttime, it will display the text "CURFEW WARNING! You are violating your house arrest! Get back by X meters!" (where X is the distance).
• When the player travels to another dimension, it displays various messages from the monitor, in a special order.
  • For example:
    • "CURFEW WARNING!"
    • "You are violating your house arrest!"
    • "Uuuh... where are you, anyway?"

• Shows the time above the hotbar where item tooltips are shown in human readable format (18:00, and 22:00 for example).
• Will make a sound each time the player gets a notification.
• Push notifications in the chat whenever a statistic reaches 10, 20, 30 ... 100, 200, 300 ... etc.
  • For example: "Notice! [Distance Flown] is now 600!"
  • Other messages are shown when the player takes damage and sometimes even shows item specific information in chat when items are crafted.

Changes

Mobs

• Mobs now have a chance of being equipped with any of the 3 items in listed above in the "Additions" section.
  • When they wear the reality vision, they will not attack the player, even if the player attacks them.
    • However, endermen with reality vision will still attack when looked at.

Signs

• Signs have a different unique texture.
• Sign text is now green.
• Signs read "OBEY" while reality shades are equipped. This is a reference to the movie They Live.

Issues

1.RV-pre1 is not supported due to being an April Fools' joke, and therefore issues affecting it will be closed as "Invalid" in the issue tracker.

Trivia

• Sounds are saved in minecraft/sounds/buzzwords/sound_name.ogg where "sound_name" is replaced with the actual name of the sound, example "equipvr.ogg".
• The update was released before April 1st by the developers.
• The overlay for the reality vision in the assets folder, cantseeshitcaptain.png, is a reference to a popular meme from the TV show Star Trek.
• The shader for the reality vision can be disabled by using F4.
  • However, when the player goes in third person view, the shader is activated again.
