CinematicCreeper
by Julionxn
CinematicCreeper gives content creators a detachable camera, path and keyframe tools, and zoom controls for recording cinematic Minecraft videos.
What it does
Recording a scene starts with a camera that can be detached from the player and moved on its own, controlled with the J key. Paths can be set so the camera follows a planned route, and smooth movement keeps shots steady. Zoom and field of view can be adjusted during a take, so framing changes do not require a separate tool.
Characters can be placed in a scene and given a skin chosen by URL, and their limbs can be posed and animated. Presets let a creator save a setup and reuse it across recordings. Client and server both need the mod, since the camera and character features rely on it on each side. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.20.2 and 1.20.4 under the MIT License, and its source code is public.
Key features
Detachable camera
The camera can be separated from the player and moved independently, toggled with the J key.
Camera paths
Routes can be assigned to the camera so a shot follows a planned movement with smooth motion.
Posed characters
Characters can be added to a scene and given a skin loaded from a URL, then posed and animated limb by limb.
Zoom and field of view
Zoom and field of view can be adjusted independently of the player's normal view during recording.
