Director's Cut
by litkoit
Director's Cut, a Fabric client mod by litkoit, extends camera control in Minecraft so a player can film and broadcast several angles without using commands.
What it does
The mod gives the client a way to place and move cameras, including detached cameras that sit apart from the player and visual display cameras that show a view in the world. Camera animations and key frame types, added in version v0.2.0, let a sequence of camera positions play back smoothly. A player can switch between angles in real time, which suits live broadcasts and recorded scenes alike.
Director's Cut needs Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to run. Mod Menu is optional and gives access to its settings screen. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric on 1.21.5, with the 0.1.2+1.21.5-fabric build as the latest, and an older build covers 1.20.1. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Detached cameras
Cameras can be placed away from the player, with up to 50 detached cameras supported.
Visual display cameras
Display cameras show what a placed camera sees, so the angle can be checked in the world.
Camera animations
Animations move a camera along a recorded path, added in version v0.2.0.
Key frame types
Key frames mark camera positions and transitions along an animation, also added in version v0.2.0.
Multi-angle switching
Several camera angles can be switched during a session, with no commands needed.
