OBSCraft
by MoSadie
OBSCraft connects Minecraft to OBS Studio through the OBS WebSocket plugin, so command blocks and datapacks can trigger actions in the stream.
What it does
Once the connection is set up, a command block or datapack can switch the active scene, update the text of a Text source, or change whether a source is visible in a given scene. OBSCraft also works with filters such as the Move plugin filter, and the visible status of a source can be set through a filter as well. Actions are triggered by a specially formatted translatable chat message, which the mod listens for, decodes and carries out.
OBSCraft is client-side only, so only the client needs it; a server does not have to run it. It requires Architectury API and Fabric API on Fabric, and it is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.10. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The mod is still in active development and described as alpha, so bug reports are requested.
Key features

Command blocks and datapacks trigger OBS actions by sending formatted chat messages that the mod decodes.

Use cases
Stream scene switching from a world
A command block or datapack changes the active scene when a player reaches an area or completes a task.
Live text on stream
Scoreboard values or game events update the content of a Text source in OBS while the stream runs.
Who it’s for: Streamers who run Minecraft on the client and want the game to control OBS Studio, and datapack or command block authors who build those triggers.
How it compares
OBS Overlay is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for Fabric and NeoForge across 1.20.5 – 1.21.4. Autocut is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it is published for Fabric alone, across 1.20.4 – 1.21.4. OBSCraft covers 1.21 – 1.21.10 on both loaders instead.
