CameraCraft
by tc.gaming108
CameraCraft lets players take photos with a portable camera, place security cameras in the world and watch their feeds from an in-game PC.
What it does
Photo Paper is the consumable item that a player needs to take pictures. Once a photo is taken, it can be viewed as an image item. Placed cameras give a live view of the area around them and can record video. Players set up a surveillance point, then monitor several cameras remotely through the in-game PC, which keeps the feeds in one place for an immersive tech setup.
The mod requires TCT Core on both Forge and NeoForge, so it has to be installed alongside that library. CameraCraft runs on the client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.2.5 – 1.21.8, and the code is closed, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Portable photo camera
A handheld camera captures the surroundings instantly, and each shot is stored on Photo Paper.
Placeable security cameras
Cameras can be set in the world to cover a location, adding a fixed viewpoint to a base or scene.
Live feeds and recording
Placed cameras stream a live view to the in-game PC and can record video from the same feed.
Photo viewing
Photos taken with the camera can be opened and viewed as images, while video camera feeds are reachable from the PC.

Use cases
Surveillance builds
Players set up cameras across a base or compound and check each feed from one PC without leaving the spot.
Scene dressing
Placed cameras and photos give map makers a way to stage viewpoints and capture scenes for an immersive setting.
Who it’s for: Players who want surveillance gameplay or camera-based scenes in Forge and NeoForge worlds, and server owners who run a world with the required TCT Core library.
