PgcQuake
by PGC
PgcQuake is a Fabric library that lets operators shake a player's screen from a server command, with adjustable strength and duration.
What it does
Operators run a command to shake a player's camera, and the shake can be set by intensity and duration in seconds. A shake can also be stopped at once. The camera movement is smooth and can move horizontally and vertically, which lets server builders stage explosions, boss fights and other dramatic events.
The mod is published only for Fabric, for game version 1.20.1, and it runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released 2026-05-02. The code is available under the MIT License but the project is not open source. Sinytra Connector is listed as a way to run it alongside Forge.
Key features
Screen shake command
A server command shakes a player's screen, with control over how strong and how long the shake lasts.
Adjustable intensity and duration
Intensity has a default strength that can be raised for stronger effects, and duration is set in seconds.
Instant stop
The shake effect can be ended immediately without waiting for the duration to run out.
Horizontal and vertical motion
The camera moves smoothly along both axes, so the shake reads as an earthquake rather than a jitter.

Use cases
Boss fights and explosions
Shake effects can accompany explosions or a boss arrival, triggered by server events on the player's screen.
Who it’s for: The mod suits server owners and map makers who want camera shake for scripted events. Mod developers can use it as a library, and Reposte depends on it.
How it compares
