CMDCam
by creativemd
With CMDCam, players can record smooth camera paths in Minecraft, using zoom, tilt and target following on Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Points are added with the P key, and the U key starts the animation, which lasts 10 seconds by default. Zoom and roll are controlled by separate keys, and an external tool is needed to record the footage.
A path can also be stored on a server, so paths are kept server wide. A player can be made to follow a path with a command, and paths can be built entirely from commands. CMDCam requires CreativeCore. Only the client must run the mod, while a server can add it for extra features. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.18.2 – 26.3, with the latest Forge file at 2.2.1 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file at 2.2.8 for 26.1.2.
Key features
Smooth camera paths
Points join into a path that the camera follows, with interpolation set by the player.
Outside mode
An outside mode lets the player act as the camera and appear in the scene at the same time.
Target following
The camera can follow a block or an entity while it moves along the path.
Roll and zoom controls
Keys roll the camera left and right, zoom in and out, and reset both to their defaults.
Command control
Commands add, insert, remove and teleport to points, and start or stop the animation with a set loop count.
