MCclip
MCclip keeps a rolling buffer of gameplay in the background so short clips can be saved after the fact, without rendering video on the main game thread.
What it does
MCclip records the game continuously into a background buffer. Frames are downscaled asynchronously, so the recording does not drag down framerate. Players save a clip of recent footage when something happens, and can start or stop a longer continuous recording whenever they want.
The mod is a client-side tool that fits solo play and recording sessions on a single client. Only the player's own installation needs it, and servers run without it. Installation needs Fabric, and the files target 1.21.11 only. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Rolling background buffer
Gameplay is captured continuously into a buffer, so footage from the last few moments is available at any time.
Asynchronous frame downscaling
Frames are reduced in size off the main game thread, which keeps the recording from costing framerate.
Short, medium and long clips
Three save actions store 15, 30 or 60 seconds of recent footage, with those lengths as defaults.
Continuous long recording
A long recording can be started and stopped by hand for footage that runs beyond a single saved clip.

Use cases
Capturing a moment after it happens
A player who notices a notable event can save the last 15, 30 or 60 seconds without having started a recorder beforehand.
Recording longer sessions
Continuous recording covers stretches of play that go beyond any single saved clip.
Who it’s for: Players who record or share their gameplay on a single Fabric client for 1.21.11 will find the buffer and saved clips most useful. The mod does nothing on a server.
