It's probably possible.
Alter the rear-view mirror add-on.

That's not how it works.
Slate521:
The problem with creating an add-on like this is that Blockland has no height limit, like Minecraft does. You can go an infinite distance in any direction, including upwards. Editing the rear-view mirror mod might work, but it's kind of a monday-rigged design to do something like that.
phflack:
if it were truly a replica of the MC mod, then it wouldn't be modifying the view at all
it would be creating a topdown image of pixels, each one representing a stud
so this should be doable, even if you have to do something silly like save the build somehow through a script (or get rendered bricks) and convert them to a small image which is then rendered with a triangle/player marker in the center
I remember the old speedometer mod looped through all the bricks, so this should be possible without the saving (bricks was unintentional, it was looking for players in all the datablocks)

Wouldn't you just change the camera angle and move the camera GUI thing to a different location.
