CineCam
Players who film scenes in Minecraft can use CineCam to build camera paths, static shots and cuts from a point-based editor, with a Free Cam for moving through the world.
What it does
CineCam is a camera tool for creating animations in the game, covering flythroughs, static shots, sharp edits and shots that follow an entity. Camera points are placed and adjusted in the world itself, and the editor lets the author preview a selected point or a whole scene before recording it. Free Cam can be enabled explicitly and moves the camera freely around the world, which helps when framing points by hand.
The mod is aimed at trailer makers, machinima creators and resource pack showcases, among others who want more precise framing than the stock camera offers. Settings cover Free Cam speed, the sprint multiplier, movement smoothing, the field of view and the interface language, and the G key is changed from its standard binding to open the tool. CineCam runs on the client only, and the files cover Minecraft 26.1.2 for both Fabric and Forge, with 3.0.0 as the latest build released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Smooth camera paths
Transitions between camera points are interpolated, so a path can glide from one position to the next.
Instant cuts
Cuts between points give sharp cinematic edits when a smooth movement is not wanted.
Entity tracking
The camera can keep a chosen entity in view while it moves, picked by looking at it before the editor opens.
Per-point settings
Each camera point can carry its own field of view, yaw and pitch, plus hold and travel durations, and movement styles can be mixed.

Use cases
Trailers and showcases
Creators can plan a flythrough over a build or a resource pack and record it in one continuous path.
Machinima scenes
Scenes with several actors can be framed with cuts and tracked entities, with no external camera rig.
Who it’s for: Video makers and content creators who record Minecraft footage and want precise control of the camera, without changing the game's default camera behaviour outside the tool.
How it compares
Auteur is a Fabric-only client mod for 26.1.2 released under All rights reserved, so it covers the same version without a Forge build. Zocular is also Fabric-only and client-side, but targets 26.3 instead, which leaves 26.1.2 out. CMDCam is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only and runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 26.3, with the client required and the server optional.
