Flashback Essentials Compatibility

by BouncingElf10

Flashback Essentials Compatibility connects the Essential mod's cosmetics and emotes to Flashback replays, so capes, hats, wings and emotes play back as the editor sets them.

What it does

Flashback records a player's Essential cosmetics, capes, emotes and outfits as part of a replay, and this mod makes the playback match the editor exactly. The cosmetics a player bought do not decide what appears, since the editor can override them per replay. Outfits saved in one replay can be reused in another, and cosmetics can be swapped at any point in a shot when someone changes outfit mid-scene.

The mod covers emotes as well. An Essential emote plays in the replay whether or not the original player used one there, its duration can follow the emote itself, and it can be frozen on a single frame to pose a player still for a shot. Replay timescale is respected, so slowed or sped-up footage keeps the emote in step. Flashback Essentials Compatibility requires Flashback. Builds exist for Fabric only, for 1.21 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.

Key features

  1. Exact cosmetics playback

    Essential capes, hats, wings and emotes are recorded with the replay and played back as the editor set them.

  2. Per-replay cosmetic overrides

    The editor can override a player's cosmetics for a replay, with variants, colours, side placement and position offsets.

  3. Emote control

    Emotes can be frozen on one frame, timed to the emote's own duration, or stopped at any point in the replay.

  4. Saved outfits

    Outfits made once can be reused across different replays, and cosmetics can be hidden at a chosen moment.
