Parkour Recorder
by elmfrain
Parkour Recorder captures a player's jumps and key presses during a parkour run so the same session can be replayed later.
What it does
A Record key, set to R by default, starts and stops a recording of the player's movements and keystrokes. A saved run can then be played back with the Play key, set to P, and the Override key, set to the up arrow mouse button, replaces an existing recording. Playback includes a guide that shows the path during the run, along with particles and animations that mark the route.
The Main Menu GUI, opened with M, holds the Save Recording and Load Recording screens. The Save Recording screen keeps a history of past runs and lets the player store one, while the Load Recording screen lists every saved recording. A Timeline menu offers video-player-style controls to scrub through a run before it is played. Fabric API is required, and the mod is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.12.2 – 1.20.4 on Fabric and Forge.

Use cases
Learning a parkour route
A player records a completed run, then plays it back with the guide to study each jump step by step.
Comparing attempts
Saved recordings can be loaded and played back side by side with later attempts on the same course.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who practice parkour courses in single-player worlds and want to study their own jumps. It runs on the client alone, so a server does not need to install it.
How it compares
Free Camera is a client-side mod released under the MIT License and open source, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so it covers more loaders than Parkour Recorder. GUI Recorder is also client-side and open source, but under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric alone. GhostReplay is a Fabric-only client mod, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and not open source, for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5.
