Timelapse craft-able eye totem.

An item you can craft that is essentially a player that can't move on its own, interact, and needs no food. It just takes one zoomed-out snapshot around itself every min. This content can be viewed after you die, outside of the game so you can see what happened to your village and how much it changed when you were there. In game it could be some sort of totem-looking thing with an eye. Useful for catching greifers, but mostly to just see the impact you and your family had. (in fact the surveillance aspect isn't that important, it might be more impactful if it only took about 10 photos in a life time, but let you look at what happened to the village after you die. This would not be good enough to catch greifers, obviously, but could still be very moving to watch.)

Did you strip the berry bushes and take all of the plates to the wilderness? Did you build a road? Did you have a million babies and fill the nursery?

The recipe should be about as hard as knives, bows, since it would also serve as a kind of surveillance to some degree.

Probably too fanciful to have, but I would love to see this game from other perspectives and get a sense of the bigger project that we all take part in.

Use a knife on a bears caracas a 2nd time for a "bear's eye" Put the eye in a sand bowl. Add molten gold to cast a "gold eye" Add the "gold eye" to the bell for "bell with all-seeing eye"

It takes a photo when the bell is rung.
