Ji AFK Cinematic
by jiory_
Ji AFK Cinematic turns the screen into a cinematic camera view once the player stops moving and goes AFK, with 4K-style framing and optional letterbox bars.
What it does
When the player goes idle, the mod switches to a set of camera shots that cycle through 15 compositions. The configured share of character and environment in each cycle sets how much of the frame shows the player's surroundings. The camera keeps tracking the player while flying, boating, falling or riding, and any mouse movement or key press returns control at once.
Specific situations have their own treatment. A fishing cinematic can start 10 seconds after a cast, centering the angler and bobber during a bite. Sleeping can show black bars right away, and a safety option wakes the player or pauses the game when damage is taken. Music can come from local .ogg files or a resource-pack library, and the interface is available in English and Spanish.
Installation needs Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional. Ji AFK Cinematic is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players join servers without installing anything. It is published for Fabric across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, under a custom license, and it is not open source.
Key features
Fifteen-shot camera cycles
The camera rotates through 15 shot types, and the configured character and environment percentage sets how each cycle is framed.
Fishing cinematic
An optional view starts 10 seconds after casting and focuses on the angler and bobber while a fish bites.
Sleep letterbox
Black bars can appear immediately while the player sleeps, and they work alongside screens replaced by sleep mods.
Damage safety net
Taking damage wakes the player at once, or pauses the game if that option is chosen instead.
Instant return to control
Moving the mouse or pressing any key hands control back to the player immediately.

How it compares
AetherFlow (Letterbox Mod) is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.4. Look at Me is client-side only, not open source and published for 1.21.10 under All rights reserved. Cinematic Respawn is client-side only and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.7.10 – 26.2, with All rights reserved, so it differs in loader support and version range.
