MapperPlugin
by TastySteak
MapperPlugin gives map creators extra tools for custom cameras, HUD elements, animations and post-production shaders in Minecraft maps.
What it does
Most of its features arrive as commands. A command executor is usually a player object, so the mod lets a command change which entity or player executes it. The command set is designed for map creators and needs only permission level 2 to run.
The mod adds game rules that change damage handling: mobDamageInvulnerable and playerDamageInvulnerable both default to true and control how long entities and players stay invulnerable after a hit. Other additions let a command merge data into a player, grant a multi-jump ability, and set the pitch limits of display entities, which vanilla restricts to -90F through 90F. A separate NBT option controls whether a Wither shows its boss bar.
Particle and interface settings are configured on the client side. Map creators can set particle colour, scaling, lighting and gravity influence, cap the maximum number of particles, and choose which sound listener receives a source. The client-side browser component needs MCEF, and its maximum wait time for JavaScript messages is configurable. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 1.21.1.
Key features
Custom camera commands
A camera directive sets the camera's position and direction, and it can allow movement along the x, y and z axes or horizontal yaw.
Damage invulnerability rules
The mobDamageInvulnerable and playerDamageInvulnerable game rules change how long entities and players stay invulnerable after taking damage.
Display entity pitch range
The pitch range of display entities is no longer restricted to the original -90F to 90F and can be changed.
Particle configuration
Particles can have their colour, scaling, lighting, gravity influence and lifetime set, along with the maximum particle count.

* ## Function This module mainly provides commands to implement. Note: For some commands, if the executor is not a player object, you need to use execute to change the executor.
