Moviemaker
by Mr.Toad
Moviemaker is a Forge and NeoForge mod for recording, scripting and staging videos and animations inside the game, with blocks, models and a morph system for players.
What it does
The mod adds tools for creative work: blocks that place .obj and .json models around the world, script blocks that run Lua scripts, textures loaded into the game and rendered on blocks, and custom light sources whose shape, color and intensity follow the active shader pack. Particle emitters can be built from Bedrock particle files such as snowstorm particles, and a built-in MoLang compiler drives many of the effects. FFmpeg support lets players record and edit audio and video from inside the game.
Morphs let a player take the form of another creature. A morph is acquired after an action such as killing an entity, and can be set with commands at any time. Players can use abilities of morphed entities, for example summoning a jaw or playing an evoker. Morphs work with dynamic lights, but only on Iris, since Optifine is not supported; Embeddium, Oculus and Sodium are the other options listed for shader use. The mod runs on client and server, and it requires ToadLib on both sides.
