Camera Traveling
by Hdi
Camera Traveling records camera positions in a world and replays them as a fluid cinematic flight, suited to trailers and cutscenes.
What it does
A player positions themselves where the shot should begin, turns to the intended heading, and issues a command that stores a waypoint. They then walk or fly to the next angle, add another waypoint, and repeat until the shot is complete. Playback glides through the waypoints along a Catmull-Rom spline, so position and look angles change without jerky transitions, and the camera returns the player to their own view when the flight ends.
Builds for showcases, server intros, adventure map cutscenes and turning a Minecraft world into a movie set all use the same workflow. A one-command orbit can lay down a full ring of waypoints around a point, and a look-inward option gives instant turntable shots. The mod is client-side only, so a server install is not needed and friends playing on a server need it on their own game.
Key features
Waypoint recording
Each run of the add command stores the player's position and look angles as a point on the flight path.
Cinematic playback
Playback follows a Catmull-Rom spline through the recorded waypoints, producing smooth motion between them.
Orbit command
One command places a full ring of waypoints around a center, for orbiting shots without manual placement.
Countdown and HUD
A large countdown reading 3, 2, 1, GO fills the center of the screen first, and the interface stays hidden for the duration of the flight.

Who it’s for: Video makers, map builders and server owners who want repeatable camera moves in a world without leaving the game.
How it compares
Free Camera is a client-side mod with a free-moving camera, published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.2 under the MIT License, and it is open source. Scale Camera Fix is also client-side, for Fabric only, covering 1.20.5 – 1.21.8 under the MIT License, and it is open source. Neither records waypoints for playback, so Camera Traveling fills a different role.
