Frametica
by askiphy
Frametica is a Forge library for recording, playing back and chaining cinematic cutscenes inside Minecraft, aimed at map makers and content creators.
What it does
Players record camera paths by placing waypoints through the world, then replay them as smooth camera movements. Each cutscene can be saved under a custom ID and reused later. A queue chains several cutscenes into one extended sequence, and wait points add pauses at chosen waypoints to set dramatic timing.
Playback can be started, paused, resumed and stopped with precise timing control. The mod suits adventure maps, custom game modes, server events and video production, where introductions and narrative transitions need a camera. Multiplayer is listed as a future addition, so the current build is tuned for single-player use. The mod is published for Forge only, across 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with v1.0.5 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, and it runs on client and server under the MIT License without being open source.
