Collins Fabric
by sawiq_
Collins Fabric is a client-side Fabric mod that plays videos on in-game screens, drawing each frame directly in the world.
What it does
Video playback screens render video frames directly in the world, so a viewer sees the picture on a screen placed inside the game rather than in a separate window. The mod plays RuTube videos and direct video URLs ending in .mp4 and similar formats. Only the client needs it, and it runs in single-player and on multiplayer clients alike.
The mod requires the Collins Paper plugin on the server to work with Collins screens. Collins Fabric is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, covering the 1.21.7 – 26.1.2 range. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
