Better Chroma Key
by Craemon
Better Chroma Key adds chroma key blocks for creators who need a uniform color to key out in video production, with a light blue variant and lamp blocks.
What it does
The mod adds chroma key blocks in solid colors, meant for building green-screen or blue-screen sets inside a world. Creators can place them to record footage and then remove the color in editing software. A light blue variant is included, and the lamp block can be recolored through a resource pack that sets custom colors.
Modpack makers and video producers use the mod in showcase recordings and production work. The author asks that modpack videos credit the mod in listed cases, and that modpack mod lists and showcase videos include it. Better Chroma Key requires Fabric API, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across 12 release versions, under All rights reserved, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
